Trips abroad
Well we have had a great 2 and a half months since I last posted.
M's mother Daph stayed with us for a month after we got back from Norway.
Daph in Prague.
We went for a weekend in Prague, then a driving week in Scotland (also with M's sister Jo).
(Photos of Scotland in later post).
Then on to a weekend in Bruges.

Then a weekend in Paris where we met up with my brother John and his girlfriend Tammy.

Daph departed back home and a few days later my mother Marg turned up from 9 months working in Liberia.
Then we met up with John, Tammy, and Marg for a weekend in Ireland before John and Tammy went home.

The next weekend Marg joined us for a trip to Guernsey.

Mum went back to Bris and it was down to me and M.
A few days later my mate Timmsy stayed over for a few days while we watched the first leg of the Football playoff with Uruguay.
We then had a lovely weekend up in the midlands (Hednesford) visiting family (grandad's cousin) and then are final weekend in Amsterdam, staying at the Swissotel in the middle of town.

There was going to be a trip to Barcelona next weekend, but we just can't be bothered anymore, it's nice just to be able to relax in the weekends without the stresses of travelling.
We leave for OZ on Monday the 19th Dec, we both only finish work the previous friday so things will be hectic that weekend.
Good thing is I have 3 work christmas parties the previous week, monday is the IT party, wednesday is the Libraries party (IT is part of the Libraries department), then the big Museum Christmas party is on the Friday night.
Awesome ice rink at work at the moment,.
Well hope you enjoyed the photos.
