There's a birthday in our house today!
26 years ago, Nich made his entrance into the world!
I remember it well!
There were only two of us mums in Newton Abbot hospital at the time,
It was about to close down its maternity unit and so Nicholas John
was one of the last babies to be born there.
We breed them big in Newton Abbot and he weighed 9lb 6 ozs!
(Ouch! But he was worth the pain! ;-)
Anyway, 26 years on, Nich has packed a lot into his life so far
and he loves to 'get around!'
And so, I have devised a little giveaway competition called:
'Where in the world am I?'
Featuring some of the places where Nich has travelled, you need to study carefully!
Post your answers in the comments and there will be a prize !
I'll get Nich to select the winner
Here goes and I've put a clue with each one:

Happy Birthday to Nich -- look like you have had lots of fun on your travels
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Nich - Do you want us to list all the places??.... Got Ottery, Exeter, Quay, Westminster, Amsterdam.... may have to go back for another look! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat post Sal and happy birthday to Nich ... will do my homework later and come back with some answers ;-)
ReplyDeletehappy birthday to Nic! I can't enter the giveaway because I don't know all the answers, but I did recognise Meadfoot and Ottery in there, and Nice after your little clue - I always remember my teachers saying the same thing. Hope he has a lovely day - he certainly does like to travel and does look/sound like such a lovely guy from the photos and things that you write, you must be (rightfully) very proud x
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Nich.. I am not as well travelled as yourself so will not attempt to embarrass myself by trying to do the quiz.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day.
Love
Michele x
Happy Birthday Nich, here we go....
ReplyDeleteOttery, Exeter, Quay, Westminster,Amsterdam, Meadfoot, Paris, Lincoln, Glastonbury, South Dakota, Rome, Newton Abbot, and a guess at South or Northampton?
How could I forget NICE
ReplyDeleteBelated birthday wishes to Birthday Boy! Geography was NEVER my strong point so I shall sit this one out. Nine pounds six? NINE POUNDS SIX!!???? I had a nine pounder and thought that was big.........
ReplyDelete:O)))
My son (now 32) was very sensible, and arrived almost 3 weeks early, weighing a sensible 6 pounds, five and a half ounces (musn't forget that half!!) and only about 19 inches long. He has made up for it since - he's now a strapping 6-footer!
