A Top Day Out (very little porsche content)

Post by johnM »

We took the kids for a day out today and as it was so nice we all pilled into the Porsche. Our camera has broken so Emily our 7 year old ended up being the new Jamie Lipman for the day.

When we got to our special spot we all went for a dip

Then I plucked up some courage to jump off the rocks

And after all that excitement I had to have a gentle Jacuzzi.

A great day out with the kids and a tiny bit of Porscheing 8) who needs to go abroad!

who said it was grim up north ? ;) 8)

With all this sunshine it seems everyone has been getting their toys out .... I was sat having a nice full english at a cafe in Stokesley today & it seemed every other car was either a classic, sports or convertable 8)

Be careful throwing yourself off heights at your age John, we're not as young as we used to be ..... as I found out the other day after a slight mishap on my bike ... still can't sit down properly 3 days later :shock:

8) Thanks John. We are spending a week in Robin Hoods bay in July, so this could be a perfect Porsche shaped day trip into the Lakes :)
