Premier Inn Halifax

... we have had since we arrived. Lots of laughs and reduced to tears in the end. I think the 2 kids may have also enjoyed it.
The Villain from Coronation Street and the star, Aladdin, from Hollyoaks. A pleasure for the ladies in the audience.

Great night.

... have to wait 5-10 mins for another. It’s still a novelty to catch a double decker! At the moment my job at Chetham’s is only until Easter but I would love it if something else came up for me there but if not I’ll be looking for something else. So who knows what I’ll be doing after April.

Accommodation

Our new abode, the flat, is small. No surprises there. It has taken some time to get used to it. Hard to ...

... completely on your own, such is the size of this place... There are no restrictions on movement and only two areas are pay on enter (which we had seen before anyway). It was peacful, rich in history and a fantastic playground for someone like me who has the mental age of 10... A truly magical place indeed.. It would be wrong not to mention the journey back to Goa on the train and the enjoyment and company of our cabin friends - the quite wonderful trainee priests.... The kindness of ...

... the gorge up the gorge” debacle followed by kilometres of what, bog? on top of a mountain?!! where the hell were we?!! Also, damn the reservoir where, having run out of water, Ryan requested that I wade in and try and get some water for boiling. Cold! Muddy! Undrinkable! Squidgy!

... back for me while I got something out of my pack, he didn’t, and the sheep almost got me.

See that Campsite?

After almost finishing the part of the Pennine that I call “The Ball Breaker” Ryan points down the mountain to a little campsite in the distance. It was far away but hope sprang back into my heart until he said, “See that campsite? Our campsite is only 2km from there.” YEARGH!!!

Well the day has finally arrived! The alarm was set for 6.00am but we were both awake before it went off. After a quick breakfast we were on the bike heading for a rendevous at Colin's house in Halling in the rain!

After a quick cup of tea, Leigh up turned on his Triumph Tiger and it was time to set off for the Marsden to meet Lyndsey & David & guess what it ...

Finally made it through my last working week in Brum, loose ends bar for one all tied up and had 2 amusing and fulfilling last days, but it feels so good to now be finished.

Thursday I was hitting a bit of a wall (some fatigue, some stress and needed some air) so headed out to the shops and came back with a can of diet coke (UK can which are the small size). Drank it quickly before my first afternoon patient and pow! I was off - a ...

My mission, more or less since I hit Western Europe was to go to places where I had friends. There were two purposes to this strategy. First, obviously, I wanted to see my friends. Second, and while this is not nearly as noble, I wanted to be done paying for accommodation. It adds up after a while. For six months I went around Australia and Asia meeting people and making friends, and it was paying off throughout Holland, Germany, Denmark and the UK. Not only was I getting a ...

... have liked the place... On Mothers Day, which was Sunday the 26th here we headed back to Blackpool for Sam's 12th birthday. For Mothers Day dinner Ann-Marie cooked a huge meal, it was massive, Ami and I were so full we almost couldn't leave the table. At about 5 that night, I was so tired from all the eating I need a power nap, only to wake up at 7 hours later at Midnight. I was awake for an hour then fell asleep until 9 the next day, tat like 15 hours sleep. My body ...
