Month: January 2007

After a lovely few days away it was back at work and back to the normal routine of work and gym, oh and a bike breakdown. Our bikes have never let us down before and to be honest we had been given notice of what was wrong, but I had just put up with it. Finally one morning going to work the bike engine died. The side-stand has a cutout switch which prevents you from riding away. Unfortunately the switch died and so did the ability to have the engine running. A new switch soon sorted it out but it was a little embarrassing.

Lastly but most importantly we had a new addition to the family. A new niece for us to lavish attention on.

Welcome, Sofia Marrows.

The highlights of this month was the first holiday of the year. As we had worked between Christmas and New Year, we booked the first week off in January. We started the week with a visit to the gym. We also met up with Duncan and Michelle who are back from the Middle East and a nice meal out.

Our holiday was just a few days away and we went to Whitby in North Yorkshire. One of our wedding presents was membership of English Heritage, so we took the opportunity to visit Whitby Abbey. We were lucky with the weather, lovely low warm sunshine kept peeping out, and every time it did I took more photographs of the abbey.
