Blackpool & its Illuminations- September 13, 2008 If it weren&8217;t for my photography hobby, I couldn&8217;t be dragged to this place. Even if it were a pack of deranged wolves in grippy shoes doing the dragging. Armed with camera I&8217;ll go pretty much anywhere I&8217;m told. More here&8230; And that just about concludes my photos from Europe 2008. Thank you very much.

Great ice-cream, not so great weather&8230; Great beaches, not so great weather&8230; Great towels, not so great weather&8230; Great water features, not so great weather&8230; Etc&8230; Bookmark:http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=958 Les Misbarack- September 12, 2008 Via Andrew Sullivan Bookmark:http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=957 Insubordination- September 9, 2008 Billy said, &8220;you are dickless,&8221; to me before. I said, &8220;What&8221; He said, &8220;I said, you are dickulous.&8221; I said, &8220;you mean ridiculous&8221; He said, &8220;yes, dickulous; you are dickulous.&8221; &8220;That&8217;s okay then,&8221; I said.

Not a wedding photographer, or the evening wedding photographer, I was the wedding photographer and I was really really nervous. More so than my brother it seemed on the days leading up to the wedding. I had to go into the ...http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=955 Paris, Not England- September 8, 2008 Billy sure does love his Uncle Albert. Incidentally, Albert lives in Paris. Which is why we went there again. It&8217;s not because we are so sophisticated we can&8217;t go a year without a dipping a pied in Paris. Though I&8217;d like it if you thought that. Some cultural fun at (outside) La Louvre: Albert, Billy &038; Lionel: Lionel is ...http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=954 Clovelly, North Devon- September 7, 2008 Instead of spending our entire trip in my hometown this year, we went down south. I think my mum wants Heidi to know that the whole country isn&8217;t as grim as it is up north. So, you know, we might move there. Clovelly is a tourist village with a very steep decent to the ocean. ...http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=952 The Gays and Women and Fashion and God- September 7, 2008 Nice to see Julie Burchill back in print, even though I struggled to make sense of a lot of this: &8230;sad indeed is the woman who sees fashion as a means of self-expression rather than an agent of social control. The other week she wrote about her Christianity. In typical Julie Burchill style: These days, many people reach ...http://heidisimon.com/wordpress/?p=953 Castlefield, Manchester- September 6, 2008 One of the few moments of sunshine during our trip home&8230; Castlefield is really quite nice when the sun is out.
