We spent Easter in Manchester and touring Yorkshire with Patricia and Sam (with a quick overnight visit to Jenny and Darren’s place on the way up). We visited many great places, a few of which are below Whitby Abbey Whitby town at dusk Inside York Cathedral
Wales
We spent the weekend in Wales, primarily to attend a friends wedding reception. Having not really explored Wales in the past we took the time to drive around a lot of the north and west of the country and saw many beautiful sights. Below are some tasters.

And hello
Everything has moved across and all seems to have gone smoothly (other than a few case issues which I won’t bore you with). Now we should be able to start implementing a few more comprehensive galleries of photos and other wonderful things so stay tuned over the coming months.
Goodbye…
After a number of years we’re changing hosting companies so there will probably be some downtime on this site over the next couple of days. We’ve never had any problems with Fasthosts but they are a little bit restrictive so we’ve moving to SiteHQ as of tomorrow morning (UK time).
Poison Sweet Madeira
As mentioned previously we had a concert to attend on Friday night. Sophie Solomon was supported by The Deadbeats and The Ralfe Band. Here are the photos.

I like The Like, but not their venue

There is a new link on this page at the top, you probably won’t have noticed it. It takes you to a page that maps the locations of visitors. I saw the map first on Stephen Walsh’s blog (he who looked like a Hillbilly while touring South America… just check out some of the photos […]
It works
The phone now works which means that we have proper Internet access again. I’ve spent time this morning setting things up and were now a properly secure wireless Internet household.
The continuing saga of a phone…
We still don’t have a working phone line. When we moved into the building it wasn’t completely finished (our flat was but the building wasn’t). We were given conflicting reports about what would be happening with a phone line and in the end we organised someone to come out ourselves. I was home for the […]
Sorry, we know it’s been a while
We’re still here, honest, we just having been doing much that is blog-worthy. In the weeks since the last post we’ve had furniture delivered, have made our flat into a home and yesterday we (finally) got a phone line. I had my 31st birthday the other day, thanks for all the emails, texts, letters, cards […]
A new year
Happy New Year one and all. It has been a while without any update, mainly because I haven’t got around to finishing the writing from our trip. Needless to say we have a great time in Australia, New Zealand and a few relaxing days in Fiji before touching down in London. We’re now back at […]
