At Last A Summer Weekend

Great weekend. Not the absolute hottest but certainly warm enough for shorts and reading the papers in the morning sun. During the afternoon most of the kids of the street were in our garden.

After all the high tech games that they are now used to making a tent out of towels, sheets and pegs kept them amused for hours.

Visit To Durham

Took a trip from Darlington to Durham today.

Found the park and ride just off the A1(M) far better than scrambling for parking nearer the City.


From 2011


The weather was not that good and heavy showers came rolling in. We dived into Cafe Nero instead of our intended walk along the river.


From 2011


We were back in Darlington to collect Ethan from school in the middle of a down pour.

And finally a bedtime story with Ethan.

Ann and Geoff's 40th Anniversary & Ann's 60th Birthday

Ann and Geoff booked Bistro 21 at Durham for a celebration dinner for the whole family. A big thank you for your generosity.  The meal was unbelievably good!!! Our lamb was perfectly cooked, with a beautiful pink colour in the centre.  Everyone was having a good time with plenty of laughter around the room. The 5 hours to midnight flew by.

The kids were very well behaved , a credit to their parents.

 ps - Sorry Laura you got out voted on the photo list - its still a good photo you rejected.

Centre Parc 2011

We had our annual trip to Centre Parcs at Whinfell Forest. Weather forecast was not great but the worst of the rain occurred  during out last morning. So I only had one wet bike seat to contend with!

It was Andrews's birthday so we had the essential chocolate cake when the Darlo gang arrived later in the evening.

Jean's Birthday

It did not start well with Jean having forgotten that she had thrown all the birthday banners out. We had no milk, eggs and worst of all -- no candles.

Today was the warmest of the year and with the nights stretching out Erin and Rhys managed their first dive on the garden swings.

Here's a few photos:
