Family Weekend away

What a great time together with wonderful weather. I am sorry I did not  have time to speak to you all, the get together too short and too many activities.

For those who do not know I did not win the golf, it was well worth the effort though.

I am still enjoying the Boondoggle, many thanks Rob. What a shame the ladies do not drink much!!

Its now 'Summer Watch' at the camp site as people disappear. No funny hats and costumes now. Last night we watched a weasel walking around and had an excellent view of a Peregrine Falcon at Durlston Head on Sunday.

Dorrie enjoyed all the walks or should I say carries. Good news for us she can now go on Sand and Grass.

Roll on the next one, where should we go??

I might be sending round a short questionnaire to obtain your views.

All the best

Warren 18 and the whip round

Just to prove I didn't spend it on CDs...

Thanks to Carolyn and also to Rob for his hard work and excellent beer.

Steven's 50th Celebration

Congratulations Steven.
I thought I would take a look on our blog and see if there were any entries, shame none. Well I think we all had an excellent time, many thanks to the organiser. How about some photos. I will start with a couple and then if anyone looks add some more.

winter camp

This is Captain at 'Winter Camp' at the weekend.  The paddling pools are the oceans into which we tossed our messages in bottles as we explored and survived the cold, and the oceans froze overnight.  Fortunately none of the campers froze.  We all survived and hope to have another Winter camp another year.

Happy New Year

How come it works when HE does it, but not when I am here alone?
2nd new year resolution is to do more accurate typing, with no bleating in it!
We had the camera handy on Boxing day, but took only this picture before you all arrived - must have been too busy!
By the way, we have a  few cracker presents still here, so if you are missing something let us know and we'll forward it on!  Some soap, some moustaches and a picture holder I think. 
I have to say the best game all Christmas was the After 8 game, and I am plucking up courage to play it with the adults at winter camp next weekend!

Olympics and Paralympics - Fantastic

How we are so pleased to have made the effort to obtain tickets, which is for us, a wonderful once in a life time opportunity. It did not disappoint in any way, even the travelling was fun. We hope the photos capture a little of what we saw.

 We have lots more photos and stories if you want to see/ hear them.

Paul's New Bike

 

The composition was sheer fluke.  He was just in the early stage of a 25-mile time-trial on the A1.  The bike is a custom-made steel frame (Stoke, England) with carbon fibre forks.
