Still one of favourite photo sets!

This still has got to be one of my all time favourite photo sets! From the off, think you can tell why! Three of all all in wetsuits!

Can’t believe it happened way back in 2010! Maybe I need to see, if I can talk more lads into wearing wetsuits!!

Starting to look around Castle Bytham

After moving from Little Bytham to Castle Bytham, just over a month ago. It’s time to start walking the dog around the village. Funny I only lived 2 miles away, but don’t really know this village at all!

So here are some photos from today’s dog walk.

Last Day at Number 12

Been a bit of weird and upsetting day. It’s the day Mark and myself moving the rest of our stuff out of Number 12. It’s been a great house since January 2001. Got so many great memories from my time there.

But now I can look forward to hopefully, making many new memories in the new house.

Lucky we have not moved far. Only to Castle Bytham, so around 2 miles away. So can still, go out local pub in Little Bytham all the time!

I will leave you with the last photos from inside and outside Number 12 🙁

Oh and photos from the new house will follow. Once it’s been sorted out a bit more…

Peterborough Greyhounds : Children In Need 2014

Every year at the Peterborough Greyhounds we dress up for Children In Need. This year the theme was 118 118. If you’re not from the UK, you will have no idea what 118 118 is! So best to google it!

I am sure, we will have raised lots of money. When I find out the total, I will post it here!

Kirkby Stephen railway station : 30-Sep-2014

During my drive on the way back from Scotland. I stopped off at the Kirkby Stephen railway station, which is on The Settle-Carlisle Railway line. Which is on my list of railway lines to do to in the UK.

Had a good drive to Scotland!

That’s me now up in Scotland. Set off from Little Bytham just after 1:00pm and got to Killearn around 8:30pm. So made it up, just before it got fully dark. Was very good driving weather. Rain stayed off and the roads were dry. Was a bit windy going over the top of the A66, then that’s just about always the case.

Here are some photos from my favorite section of the journey, which is the A66 going over the Pennines.
