Some pictures of our antics of late

Last weekend Andrea found this fantasic place called "Thinktank" http://www.thinktank.ac/ which is a child orientated museum. It was a real education and Luke loved it.
We all loved it!

We traversed several thousand years of history and got to stand next to and touch everything from mummified remains of 5000 year old Kings to the first APPLE MAC!
Luke really loved driving the digger.

We walked around and got to go on Steam trains and play with exhibits from The Industrial Revolution. The site has a fantastic planetarium and we took a journey to a distant world to see what life might be like before returning back to Earth to become film producers.

Steven Spielberg eat your heart out! Luke's Lego animatronic movie was fantastic!
I wish I had my memory stick with me to download his completed product, but you will just have to take our word for it that it was very good.

Just when we thought it couldn't get any better we entered the BBC's Walking with Dinosaurs exhibition that was also there at Thinktank.

It was incredible to watch and learn how they put this stuff together.
We returned from that wonderful day out (Thankyou for finding it sweetheart) to do some well earned gardening and as you can see, its not looking too shabby.

Love to all..

Cancer Research - Relay for Life

It should have been called Race for an Umbrella!
The weather was shockingly bad. I'm not kidding! I have camped out in some bad weather before and being Ex Army was kinda used to it, but to wake up and see the tent next to us floating was a bit much.

Andrea was an absolute trooper! Deb's you would have been proud :) She took it all in her stride, got over her phobia's and was still smiling.

It seems that whilst we were warm dry and snug in our Superhero's Supertent, the mere mortals suffered the wrath of what is known in Britain as "A severe weather warning".
In the US the National Guard usually dispatches, but here they just issued out T-shirts, pumped the porta potties and cranked up the music!

Despite the unbelievably bad weather (Trust me, when an Englishman says its bad, it is :) ) we had a great time and managed to stay snug in our dome tent.

There was a fancy dress theme to this but given how bad it was out there, we opted for Superhero disguises, commonly known as waterproofs!
I went as Indiana Jones in the Puddle of Doom, and Andrea went as Wonder Weather Woman.

Anyway we raised a lot of cash for cancer research and took on the Virtual Baton from our American counterparts in Missouri at 11am on Saturday Morning.
The event was closed early on Sunday morning because most of our competitors had drowned.

The Latest

I have abandoned my life of leisure and rejoined the working world!
Everything is going well and I've caught up with some old collegues who were surprised to see me on our corporate IM.
The only problem, and those of you who know me will understand...the closest bathroom is across the room and downstairs!
RTT is approximately 10minutes!
My coffee mug might have to serve a dual-purpose if I get stuck on a call...

Hope all is well
