June 2007 Wins

1st June: Won two i-tunes

7th June: There was a parcel waiting for me when I got in it contained a Nokia N73 mobile phone. It is worth nearly £300. It has a high res camera, camcorder, 1,500 tune MP3 player, stereo radio, calendar, buetooth etc etc.

What I nearly missed in my excitement, the package contained wristbands for VIP entry and VIP camping to the Download Festival, which means one very happy daughter. (pictures and report to follow)



10th June: More i-tunes today


14th June: Package arrived in today's mail it contained Marc Almon's new album 'Stardom Road'.

19th June: Won £50 in a GfK survey.




27th June: Received a phone call from a lady at Lancashire Tourism to say I'd won an i-pod. Amazingly this is my third this year. The lady remembered me from my previous photography win last November. She said they'd had hundreds of entries and was amazed when my name came out

29th June: Another £5.00 from Gfk

Weekend @ Guy's Thatched Hamlet

Here are a few photos of my recent win to Guys Thatched Hamlet at Bilsborough.

The hamlet is only 17 miles from home, though it is so close we have never really explored this area so it seemed a world away.

The hamlet rather than being an original thatched village is in fact a series of converted and purpose built properties. The feeling is more one of theme park than authentic traditional village.

We arrived to champagne and chocolates. The picture on the bed is a little contrived as we actually took the champagne and chocolates outdoors and sat and ate them by the bowling green.

The lady in the yellow top is Dale and by this time we'd scoffed all of the chocolates and most of the champers.

The first picture on the right shows the building in which our room was situated. The second shows the mainstreet

We stayed two nights in a room with a spa bath (a very noisy spa bath).

The prize include breakfast each day and a £30 contribution to our meal on one night.

We had a really chilled out time, but I hope the next win is to somewhere a little more exotic.
