IPad Review

Well that's me had the new toy for a week now and just a short blog to say I am well impressed. Many people have commented on the fact why have I bought it and well I am not surprised. These things are not the cheapest but as I have became a big apple fan in last year it was a natural progression to this. The iPad was born through the sale of some stuff on eBay and I received it last Tuesday. I like the fact of how portable it is. Highlights are watching BBC iplayer and the fantastic way of viewing photos on it. As I type this I can hear email arrive and am listening to the Dave Pearce pod cast from last week. The battery life is amazing. Up to 10 hours. I have not used the 3G yet. This will only happen as and when I am away anywhere.. Any way most impressive. I will not be letting this baby leave my side. Cheers, Alex. - Posted using BlogPress from my iPad. Location: Welton Rd,Mauchline,United Kingdom

> Had a great weeks holiday near Scarborough.. Stayed at the Blue Dolphin Haven park. Weather was good to us during our weeks stay. Journey down was a bad start as it took almost 7.5 hours as there was a 2.5hr jam on the A66 because of an accident. Got there and thought let the fun begin. Beautiful area with some stunning cliff top views. Trips during the week included Scarborough, Filey, York and of course Flamingo Land”!! In all we had a great time: Photos HERE

Well enjoying our break here in North Yorkshire. Having a great time. Arrived on Monday at about half6. After quite frankly a bad journey. There was a back crash on A66 which closed the road both ways for 3 hrs. As you can imagine was not a pleasant experience. Esp with 2 kids and a big grumpy bastard like me. Anyway we eventually got here ok. Been into Filey and Scarborough, yesterday which is only 4 miles away. What a busy busy place. We went down the beach and enjoyed some chips and ice cream. Kids then had some fun on the shows. Today we've been to the pool and took the kids to see a real life wrestling match. Haha. That was fun. At night we go in and see what entertainment there is on. Been a mixed bag so far, first night was the best. Anyway plenty to do. Weather been ok, had a bit of rain but not to bad. Will blog later in week.
