I do not have a report on this event yet but it is coming soon so watch this space!  I do however, have a few rather amusing photos!!

A bit of background info….Rosie, Rhian and I were having a bubble blowing competition one night.  Before this tournament Rhian couldn’t blow bubbles!!  Rosie and I were (kind of) helping her…….

                                   

Rosie’s bubble                                                              My bubble…hehe!!

Rhian trying to blow a bubble…..she couldn’t!!!.......but wait!!!.....................SUCCESS!!

       

Jacob..not QUITE sure what he’s meant       The boys concentrating (this was while we were

to be but…yeah..                                         having our bubble competition – they were missing

                                                                 out BIG time!!)

I will (hopefully!) be getting more photos soon so watch this space!
