Antigua August 08

A last minute decision to go away as the weather forcast was terrible for the week in Devon, so we thought why not go somewhere hot - Antigua here we come!!! Julie managed to get a super deal on a hotel and i managed the flights! What a relaxing holiday although extremely HOT!! Everyone tunring bright red after day 1 but Amber soon turned very brown. Adam was more concerned with going Kayaking from the very private beach and the pool was fantastic!!!! The Verandah Spa in Antigua is well worth a visit. A posh meal in Nicoles on one night which was superb and the seabreeze, Buccaneers and the beach bar were great places to eat every other day. Amber went for her usual hair braiding which looks great and was done by the hotel spa. A VERY relaxing holiday which was much needed giving us plenty of time to reflect on life!

Amber turns 8

Amazingly Amber has turned 8 (going on 18). How old do us parents feel now!!! She had a great day and a party which was a bit of a washout but Julie took them swimming and they came back to watch High School Musical 2. Ambers Spongebob cake went down well and all her friends had a sleepover.

Gt Yarmouth Footie tour 08

Well what a weekend. After the initial 24 hour traffic jam (mainly for the Coggins), the weekend went extremely well. A great turnout yet again by the whole of Wendover made this one of the best yet!! The football was excellent with the Under 10's scoring more goals in this tour than they had done on their previous 3. An excellent BBQ yet again provided by the Kerrs made for great evening entertainment. The caravan park at Haven Caister was the best I have been to in 4 years and the beach was outstanding (although not at night looking for my son!). Ray Clemence gave out the trophies and much fan was had by all!

Race for Life 2008

Yes - Julie has done it again - 4th year running now - well done!!! This time she had a great race - in extremely hot temperatures - 85th place out of over 3000 runners. The Windsor 8k should be a piece of cake now especially after all that training with Steve. Over £150 raised for breast cancer so thanks again for everyones support!!!

Prague March 08

A weekend in Prague to start the year off well. What a beautiful city! Dinner at Gordon Ramsays Maze restaurant was SUPERB!! (Although i still prefer London - just!). The Marriott was excellent and quite central for the main shopping areas and bars. On arrival we found a nice pub just off the main square (best to save money) and had very typical local cuisine and beer - very nice. The weather was great until day 2 when a huge hail storm and rain storm hit town briefly but effectively. The architecture is incredible and every corner you turn you see another outstanding feature of the city! Julie made yet another great comment hence why she is laughing below - she asked if the railway stopped at that point so we could take pictures - it was then i pointed out that we were at a station!!!!
