Cybher Meet & Greet
01 week ago
What feels like months ago I saw the first Meet and Greet posts going up ahead of Cybher, I did have my ticket but made a decision not to do my post then, let’s face it, if you had read this in February there is every chance you would have forgotten all about me by May 12th. This way I will be fresh in your minds!
Here goes…
Name : Clare
Blog : Seasider in the City
Twitter ID : @SeasiderClare
Height : 5’2.5″ the .5 is very important!
Hair : Long and currently “watermelon” (apparently) in colour. It’s usually tied back but if I get up at stupid o’clock on Saturday it may be straight.
Five things you should know about me…
- I LOVE anything orange (except, randomly oranges themselves!) At Cybher as a minimum I’ll have my orange converse on, there may be more.
- My party trick at school was to fit my fist in my mouth – I haven’t tried it recently!
- My favourite cakes and sweets are chocolate éclairs – this is very important information.
- I have a husband, a son, 2 guinea pigs and an eternally messy home.
- I have no sponsor, my Cybher ticket is my birthday treat to myself. This weekend I turn 33 and I’m choosing to spend it with you

I keep totally forgetting to join in with The Gallery at Sticky Fingers but luckily someone hit publish on theirs early so I was prompted to take a look. The theme this week is Action and you might be surprised to see I have NOT used a golf shot of myself or anyone else!
J’s teacher reckons he has problems with his physical ability, and apparently it sticks out a mile in PE.
This is my boy after he had been outside running around in the snow for half an hour.

Off the course, there are loads of family activities that everyone will enjoy such as sailing, sea plane trips and clay pigeon shooting. After a long day of activities the whole family can unwind in one of the four restaurants across the resort.
