For someone who used to run an 'experiences' company, my life seems to be full of them!
I was very honoured to be asked to crown the Bakewell Carnival Queen and lead the carnival procession at the weekend - here I am with the Mayor of Bakewell Carol Walker.
Unfortunately the Classic Car we were riding on over-heated towards the end of the route but two very kindly gentlemen ran out from the crowd and pushed us for the rest of the way! It could only happen in Bakewell...
My thanks to family friend Alan Fern for taking this photograph - he's based in Chesterfield and if you need a high quality professional photographer for any reason his number is 07966 546684.

How sweet! BX
It is nice when things like this happen, I was lucky enough last year to be invited to all of Madam Mayor' (Bromley) events. I know, not on the same scale as your invite Rachel, but it was something.
TheDLOG
where is everybody? I'm been checking the blog the last couple of days and there's no one here! BX
You sound lonely! I am still here,
The DLOG
Not lonely. Just really enjoy the chats. :)
BX
yeah lonely was the wrong word, but I know what you mean, maybe every one else is p*** off with us after the last blog!
The DLOG
p*** off because of the whole anonymous name thing?
oh whatever, I'd rather talk to people with a bit more of an open mind. Don't you agree?
I forgot to write BX to the last statement.
I believe every one has got an open mind, it is probably more of the thing that they would like to differentiate between the anonymous', as Rachel mentioned, she likes to be able to work out the personality of each person.
TheDLOG
She can do that by reading the name at the end of the message....
BX
How funny....annonymous talking to annonymous lol
I've just finished reading 'The Restaurant at the end of the Universe' by the late (great) Douglas Adams and it could be something which he would have written
meaning?
TheDLOG
I think mr robot is having some fun.....or maybe not
Now i am really lost!
TheDLOG
"meaning ?"
Nothing negative. If you don't know Douglas Adams's work (Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy) then I can recommend it - funny writer - also had a different way of looking at subjects which wouldbring out the humour of a situation.
btw I'm not Mr Robot
oh right, so you obviously think BX and I are funny, perhaps we should get together (BX & I) and start writing funny stuff, heehee,
TheDLOG
I'll take that as a compliment! BX
Absolutely, whoever you are!
TheDLOG
Ok hani, i accept the blame for winding anonymous up. Blame me.
I cannot help but despise them. Like i despise mr robot.
anonymous is an internet regresssive affected character with malignant narcisstic tendancies.
Its all on the wiki guys!
You may despise us (TheDLOG/BX) but what does Rachel, does she mind?
TheDLOG
Sorry, should have 'but what does Rachel think'?
TheDLOG
Stephen Ryan, you're such a party pooper! BX
Stephen Ryan, "Your comments are all too interesting for me to stop blogging! When people stop commenting I'll stop the blog.
However I would prefer it if everyone did have an identity, mainly - as Anne states - how do I know whether it is the same 'anonymous' as 'anonymous' has left lots of comments which vary greatly, at least with Mr Robot for example I am getting a feel for his personality." So it appears that you are the only one with a problem!!
TheDLOG
I shouldn't think Rachel minds you guys in the slightest. She's too busy spreading positive energy around the place.
If you guys are up for a target, come over and have your say on my hacker blog at Brand Killer Robots www.intrench.com.
Exactly, Rachel is spreading positive energy, and we all enjoy her blog spot, why are you being so argumentative and negative. I think it is so dissrespectful to Rachel!
TheDLOG
DLOG I agree with you. We're here having pleasant conversation and Stephen Ryan comes it and tries to be negative. Obviously Rachel's positive energy hasnt reached you yet! BX
anonymous is that sneekly little fart that slowly pollutes the air - and everyone is left doubting where it came from.
Annoying, yet extremely insignificant.
Obviously you are a mate of Stephen!!
Obviously you are a mate of the annoying-mous.
The beauty of me is that i am nobody's mate. I am my own person, that is the way we have been trained!!!
TheDLOG
ugh Stephen and dh, come off it!Dont talk to us then if we're 'annoying-mous'! It's not clever by the way, it's actually stupid and rediculous.
I'm not interested at all in your comments because you dont show an ounce of respect. You're the ones who are insignficiant. I dont like either one of you. Even though i'm anonymous, I still have my self-respect and class. BX
I think I have an answer to all this, why don't we all meet up one day, including Rachel of course, then we can sus out who is really who!
TheDLOG
I dont live in England. BX
that is a shame, where do you live, i am intrigued as to your personality and where you live.
TheDLOG
I live in Santa Monica. BX
I think the anonymous' are amusing and obviously posting without malice. They are turning into quite a double act, leave them alone!
You carry on boys
Absolutely, we are here to in on Rachels blog, and I believe we should ALL respect her blog page. Thanks very much for your comments Leona, one question though, how do you know we are boys!?
TheDLOG
Honestly, I go off to Dublin for a few days, come back and find that the fairytale creatures have invaded my swamp!
This is not a chat room you know!!!
Only joking, if you would like to use my Blog to meet like-minded people (or not as the case may be) then please feel free to carry on...
Rachel
Cheers Rachel, your a star.
TheDLOG
Whoever wrote Santa Monica is posing as me. I'm actually from Canada. Thanks for your nice words Rachel but I think I'm going to leave this blog since the people on it arent exactly stimulating (except for you of course and DLOG). This is the last message you'll get from me. BX
Just a guess, of course I could be wrong as you are of course anonymous!! :)
BX, don't be like that, we will miss you, ever so
TheDLOG
hey im the queen 4 the day not you !!!
