Peterborough Greyhounds : Children In Need 2014

Every year at the Peterborough Greyhounds we dress up for Children In Need. This year the theme was 118 118. If you’re not from the UK, you will have no idea what 118 118 is! So best to google it!

I am sure, we will have raised lots of money. When I find out the total, I will post it here!

More photos from this set can be found at www.gordon-valentine.com/zenphoto/england/peterboroughgreyhounds/cin-2014/

Two of my favourite work lads off to University

Two of my favourite lads at work are leaving to go to University. Ben the one wearing the “Some people are gay. Get over it!” t-shirt leaves tonight. Harry leaves when I am on holiday in Cyprus!

Ben has been working at the dog track for the last two years. Harry only for a number of months. But it feels so much longer. Going to really miss both of them. But they will be back during Christmas time. So it’s not all bad.

Good luck to them both! BTW Ben is not really gay. Just lots of people think he is. So had to get him, that t-shirt as a leaving present :).
