Amy's Christmas party 2010
I had a wonderful birthday party on August 2nd, this year, with friends: Kat, Margaret, Emily, Stanley, Myra, Ronnie, Hazel, Raydon, John, Deryck, Sue, Abby, Helen, Emma, Glynn, Anne and Dawn.
Guests of honour were David and Emily from WildTouch animal rescue!
They brought a barn owl, bearded dragon, monitor lizard, giant tortoise, Crow, Hedgehog, corn snake and Boa!! What wonderful, sweet and patient animals.

Here are some pictures of the party and animals.

I went to see Darius Rucker in concert at the 02 Arena on August 17th, 2011. It was an amazing performance.
Thanks to Keith Greentree of BBC Radio Norfolk, I got a pass to go backstage and meet Darius. Deryck came with me.
This is the photo I had taken by Darius's photographer (you can click on it to see a bigger version):

Amy recently hosted a Christmas party which raised £296.62 for the Guide Dogs charity! Well done Amy!
Raffle prizes went to:
1st prize - A gorgeous snowman knitted by Lucy from Thursday Braille class - Won by Mandy from Thursday Braille class.
2nd prize - A bottle of fizz - Won by Helen from Thursday Braille class.
3rd prize - A tasty Christmas pudding - Won by Deryck.
The grand total of the pennies in the whisky jar was £73.62 and I was lucky enough (I say luck - but really it was pure skill) to have the closest guess (£75.20) and won a nice bottle of whisky!
A special guest appearance was made by Louis the pug - everyone wanted to take him home with them!
Good fun was had by all and everyone particularly enjoyed tasting the cakes made by Emma and friends.
Amy would like to send special thanks to John for controlling the kitchen, Roz, Emma and Karen for organising excellent stalls, Lucy and Mick for organising the raffle and tombola, Helen for making teas, Kat for bringing her whisky bottle full of pennies and everyone who came along for giving generously!!
