A huge thank you to David for the images he took, making me look wonderful with breathtaking scenery and lighting. Gosh the cold air blew up that skirt!

And Last Year.....
Probably the less said the better, but some days later I discovered that last year's excursion to NI had it's own Wikipedia page to remind me! Imagine my complete surprise!
Halloween
It was most injudicious of me to disappear just as things were getting close to Halloween. This year I accepted the kind hospitality of Vince and David in Northern Ireland where I would be attending the same party as I did last year – albeit in much more salubrious circumstances.
I had worked the nightshift and my flight was on Friday at midday so by the time I had checked in, eaten and sat in my seat on the plane I was fast asleep – for what seemed like 3 minutes when we landed in George Best Airport. I was greeted there by Vince and from the moment I arrived was constantly bombarded by bon hommie all around.
The boys have a gorgeous house and I could quite easily move into their bathroom permanently – sigh
Naturally, Saturday was the day of the party and I was a working girl. After a trip around Belfast in the morning and a quick visit to some of the shops there – new Speedos, saucy underwear, t-shirt, nothing drastic – I then hit the make-up table transforming David into Annie Lennox; Vince into The Dark Angel and Claire into the Mistress of the Dark. Once completed I donned my Roman gear and we headed over to the party.
I have not seen any pictures to post of my work, but hopefully I will soon.
Until then, suffice to say the party was a hoot and I won Best Male Fancy Dress and Claire won Best Female.
I have not seen any pictures to post of the party, but that’s probably for the best.

What HAS happened?
I have been fairly good with my blog to date and if the truth be told the last month has been great fun and madly busy - so where is all the gossip? Let's do some catching up!
