Slackers
Yes, yes, we know. We are slackers. Since we last posted we have been to various places which we were going to post about and then fell behind so didn't post anything... (a bit like my lab book actually... hmm...)
And so, here's the plan: We will briefly mention what we have done since then. If we get a request to post about it, we will. In the mean time, we will assume we are now up to date and hopefully try to be some what more active on our blog! Yay!
So... Since March 2006 we have done the following things and spent some amazing times with some fantastic people!
Mike and Jan Robbins visited us May - June '06, leaving us for a spell and then coming back again! Ali Droop kindly offered them bed in his terrace house where ben and I were renting at the time, so we got to have them under the same roof as us which was great! thanks Ali!
While they were here, we:
- visited Whitby
- went Puffin watching (they are very cute, and hard to spot!)
- went walking in Malham and Bolton Abbey (in the Yorkshire Dales)
- went to Ambleside (in the Lake District) where we did walking and some rowing (!)
Uschi and Rich Norris and Kathy Ryan visited us in June '06 (while M&J were elsewhere) and we had a fantastic week looking around the York area and Castle Howard.
In December we went back to Australia for almost 6 weeks, where we had a fantastic time socialising with family and friends in Canberra, Jervis Bay and Sydney
In Feb '07 we moved just down the road from where we were living with Ali Droop to our own rented terrace house! :)
Maz Crompton visited in April '07 and I went with her to Haworth in the Yorkshire Moors where the Bronte family spent most of their lives -picturesque, and GPS in cars is very funny, they try to take you the most direct route, which when travelling through a major city like Leeds, is not necessarily the fastest route!
Mike Robbins visited and stayed with us May-June '07, again leaving us for a spell and then coming back again! While he was here, we visited:
- Edinburgh where we had a fantastic hot chocolates 'palate' (we each tried 5 hot chocolates! yummy!)
- Yorkshire moors and Riveaux Abbey
And we had Griff Ware turn up two days after he confirmed he was coming in June '07 where he stayed with us while ostensibly doing uni work in Leeds - but we know it was really his evil twin plotting to take over the world and meanwhile keep his mind in shape by beating us at board games!
And, today, we just got back from a beautiful week in Barcelona where we met up with Uschi, Rich and Allie Norris and had a ball. And I fell in love with the architecture of Gaudi. I want to post some photos of that, but Dad took most of the photos and I have to wait til he sends them to me!
