Well hello from the new and improved Our One Big Adventure website.

It has been a while since we managed any updates, but we is on a roll now (hopefully anyhoo).

So 2008 was a wonderful start, I suddenly became an adult, well a child in a man’s body anyway, celebrating the anniversary of my 39th birthday only in the style that we can, back in St.Lucia for a glorious period of time. every day consisted of 3 solid meals, wine with lunch, cocktails during the day and champagne at night.

Lorna (the most wonderful wife ever) had booked a helicopter transport from the Airport in St.Lucia to the hotel as a surprise, along with a days sailing, searching for whales, snorkling and champagne at the sunset. We stopped again at the East Winds Inn, which I have to say is second to no other hotel for service and food quality. On the way over I was forced to wear an 8inch badge with flashing lights on it, which got a few giggles and plenty of alcohol from the cabin crew.

Back down to earth now and Lorna is now the Head of IT (no surprise there really, she is good at what she does) and we are enjoying time in a little village in Yorkshire (it does not compare to the wonderful cottage in Wales where we spent a year). Thanks to the Barty’s for the calendar with the most wonderful views from our old property (brings back so many good memories).

And now we are busy planning the summer vacation (ooo yes), with a visit to Vegas and a road trip with the Folks from over in that there Ireland.

Plenty of things happening to keep us busy at the moment, learning to play cribbage (or being shown and forgetting the rules immediately, thanks Stu & Jen). I’m learning to ride a real motorbike instead of a twist and go, so if you see me on the road, better leave a lot of room, still struggling with gears at the moment.
