London Loveliness Continues

 Well done Becky - good stuff in the pool with your Bronze medal!

I snapped Boris Johnson in the stands, but missed Rupert Murdoch!

Eleven

Yup, eleven years since my hunky hub and I got married in our well planned, traditional wedding.  Best decision ever made. Eleven is my frisbee number, and my favourite number...so particularly excited about the year ahead.

And to honour us, Becky is going to go for gold tonight in the pool.
xxxx Mega, I miss you!

The Sun Came Out Now and Again

Shark and I were on an adventure hike while the others steam trained to Ravenglass for some beach side rock throwing. Lovely.

Pics from the Lakes

18th best site in the world.  Pretty spectacular grounds with grumpy but likeable staff!

Dry and sunny in Windermere:)

Wee Mac found the post camp fire marshmallow sticks to get the leftovers.

Sav was a star on a couple of decent hikes. Wet feet.

Homebase

Dob brought home some "interesting" facial hair from France. Inspired by the red ferrari they found up in the hills, Glen came home as Magnum.  Focus on the lock Thomas!

The water park was part of a fresh river running through.  Savvy LOVED it.  No adults allowed and lots of wild kids making up the rules (hence our name: Lord of the Flies).  Parents pretended to "keep an eye" on their munchkins, but really we were doing our own thing, all just hoping those swimming lessons were kicking in with a scrap of manners too.

Sadly, Shadow Fax was well messed up. No riding despite lugging the bikes on a lovely tour.

We ate well. BBQ salmon, burgers, sausage and veg.  Maybe a small small touch of chocolate (enter the largest bar of Toblerone I have ever seen from les Alps!). Plus grape skewers by Sav.

Betsy Blue

She was glorious.  She had no power steering, no real brakes to speak of, and her awning leaked like mad, but she made it over Hardknott pass, even overtaking Mr Strawberry on one of the hair pin steep turns.
Sav fell in love at first sight and on her last night, she was allowed to sleep in Shark and Ty's top bunk.  Bliss.
