A web site dedicated to Tom Harrington's family containing news, gossip and tales of the unexpected. Fun for all. If everone adds a few lines of news and information - others will look at this site and it will spiral into a web log of the Harringtons! It is so easy to add comments even I can do it. Tom

[Part one]
Read this - then see the pictures link at end - and finally read it all again to make sense

I had a great weekend with the lads in Margate and will add pictures here when I get around to it. We went down on Friday and got back last night (Monday) at 2 am. Rizwana just would not let us all go!

Without a doubt, we had a fantastic time with minimum amount of hassle and arguing between the boys and me. They have now discovered Margate Dreamland park and all the amusements which to Conors great delight gave him more money back when he put his 2 pence in. The weather was warm and sunny enough to allow them to run into the sea - a stones throw from Rizwana’s place. There were rides, donuts and donkeys, all within reach and a must have for these deprived youngsters.

On Saturday morning we went straight to the beach for swimming and running around, and onto the Dreamland rides park and sea front amusements for the afternoon until all our money had gone and they were sick of the rides. The stomach churning rides were too much for me and Rizwana and the boys went on their own again
and again. The day ticket to the park and no queues meant they lads could walk up to any ride and get on - and stay on! - in the end after a particularly brutal
spinning ride which left you stuck to the sides by centrifugal force alone as the floor was lowered away, you get the picture - fast, furious and vomit inducing - only Conor seemed unaffected and wanted to go again!

After a few more hours relaxing on the2 penny shove or drop machines we went for a pizza and home for video and bed.

Sunday - was back to the beach to get an appetite for Breakfast on the beach at a sea front café. Luke had on his new roller blades which he rode on as a normal kid for a few hundred yards until he got fed up and then played "Jackass" which consisted of him crashing in to Joe and Conor and flying off the promenade at great speed to land on the sand. When he realised that this was not dangerous enough and had not damaged him self he added more twists, dives and height until I put a stop to it. He then sulked and skated off to try and rollerblade into the sea instead. Football on the beach brought out the usual competitiveness in Joe and Luke whist Conor played quietly in the bottom of a sandpit someone had dug out to the size of a large bath.
