To England and Back in Seven Days . . . Bottoms Up, Cherio, Here we GO!
Jetted over to the UK for seven days of eating, drinking, visiting and lots of relaxation. In this short amount of time, I have splurged on chipsticks, fish & chips, kababs, then washed it all down with an extra cold pint of Guiness and an episode or two of Top Gear.
We sampled the taps from the Red Lion to the Kingshead, we ventured on the underground to Buckingham Palace, we shopped at TKMax and Next (my favorite store) and enjoyed treats from buttons to jumbo candy packs of fizzers and lollies.
Last but not least, we always made time for the home of witty banter. We want your Doof Doofs! Seriously don't ask me . . . it still doesn't make sense. Doooof Doooof Doof Doof
Here are some photographs that I captured with my marvelous camera apparatus.

SIKKNITS . . . if you don`t know, now you know
Last Sunday, I went to the West Side Farmers Market to meet up/ hangout with Jenna and place a personal order on a Sikknits special. Can't wait to pick it up! This girl is a fast knitter!
The location is really cool and if you get time this coming weekend, check out their booth and ask what up!?!?

Walking is good for you . . . go outside
There are times in life when you just feel like going for a walk. And as it turns out, it happens to be the most relaxing thing for you. Enjoy the small things.

Fernie Kinky Rail Jam
January 16, 2010 Fernie Kinky Rail Jam.
Saturday morning started very very early with my alarm clock ringing at 4am + 10 minute snooze. I was out the door by 4:40am and on the road to Fernie with the girls, Jenna and Kylee, by 6am.
My intentions for travelling out to fernie initially, was to practice using my new dSLR and maybe enter the comp if the park looked fun. So as it turns out the park setup looked really cool with a variety of boxes and rails from S-L, the sun was shinning and just to add one more argument in favor of signing up, it turned out to be mathematically logical to enter the competition.
- cost of entry = $20+gst
- iff you enter in competition you receive 20% off lift (approx. $20)
- $20 bib deposit, fully refunded with bib returned
- bag of treats = chips, chocolate bar, candy (how easily I am persuaded)
- a comp volunteer also volunteered to hold onto my camera incase I wanted to take pics for other heats
= SOLD and now contestant #16
The contest was Jam format and the ladies group was combined with the men's. OK here we go second contest ever.
After an hour of hike and drop in jamming; Jenna, Kylee and myself hung around the park for another hour or so, took some pics and worked on a few tricks. Jenna was killing it on the metal death rails and the crazy kinked box, just attacking it . . . full speed ahead captain. Kylee added three new tricks to her bag (I don't know anyone who gets three as in 3 new tricks in less than 30 minutes).
I want to thank these wonderful ladies for the early morning drive, the song that was stuck in my head all day, the powder turns, star fish slides, MJ's to log rolls, to slow-mo body rolls and car dancing and singing and ofcourse high beaming . . . YUP, YOU KNOW THIS. . . Ah Yeah

The Girls hiking, werk it werk it
As the jam started (12.30-1.30pm), I quickly learned alot about myself in a few runs:
1) left over christmas weight was making my feet quite heavy 2) I am out of shape 3) my hiking technique could be improved from tiny strides to something normal . . . I wish the magic carpet would magically appear (I have become so spoiled at COP).

I have to admit I had such a great time participating and I don't just mean shredding the park. All the girls were so friendly and encouraging to one another. The volunteer events team were so nice and really helped make the day so pleasant with big smiles on their faces non-stop.
