Kirstie's Bedtime Reading!

Now with every move there comes a new blog / story idea this move is by far no different and instead of escaping to the country it will be titled "The Twitchers" because there are no less than 5/6 house in my little cul de sac that when we step out to the car the curtains twitch, I kid you not. Now I realise we have moved into a fairly affluent area house prices in our road alone fetch more than £660,000 (now you can see why we rent!!) so we could be seen as the beverley hillbillies of the area  but it looks like life will be interesting here and if it wasn't I just wouldn't have a blog now would I!
But its come to my attention that with every seasonal break from your favourite tv show you get an up to date preview of the events that have happened before think LOST in 8 minutes.
So I will attempt to do the same (albeit the fact that you can't time me lol) and there is no video just lots of pics!.

Not content with insulting other countries, Clarkson has also managed to alienate significant swathes of his own.
