Oh it's a long while from July to September...

So what's been going on????
My memory of events since going to ROTW has become a bit hazy
So I'm going to hopefully try and remember a few of the more exciting things (coz my life is one long roller-coaster of fun right?)


The school term ended fairly quietly for every one - had a lovely visit from Kate and Ed O'Hanlon from the old village. Jenny's birthday party wasn't quite so quiet but I'm sure she enjoyed having the garden full of noise and her friends.
We went to Sawtry to see Sophie G on her 18th birthday. 18? Where did those years go? It was a great afternoon catching up with Gillespie's and Jones's and Rogers's.
The bike ride came next - see the photo's here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwUbm2P6Guk&feature=g-upl  and here http://www.flickr.com/photos/16311022@N07/sets/72157630455324006/

A very demanding 120 miles from Shillington to Bessingham with 9 other biker boys. We can all feel very pleased with ourselves for completing it (again). That turned into a top weekend including having the longest laziest lunch ever in Billy's holiday garden in Langham. Lunch lasted till the funny music started outside the pub at about 10pm.

At the end of July we started our Olympic Experience.

 Archery at Lords and a visit to the Olympic Park itself. Never to be forgotten. I think the whole event was brilliant. Felt proud to be British and all that. After a busy week with Grandad C (boating and chillies) I took Rosie back to London for more Olympics - this time at Wembley to watch France v Japan in the ladies semi final.

Most of  the rest of August (after Jenny's actual birthday) was spent in Lanzarote - soaking up the sun at last. We went all inclusive and eat and drank as much as possible in a bid to get our monies worth. Rosie loved all the clubs and Europop - I enjoyed the beach. DG and JP enjoyed an excuse to read and laze about without having to worry about anything back home. The holiday photo's are here http://www.flickr.com/photos/16311022@N07/sets/72157631349710416/ay
We celebrated Grahams birthday when we got home.  A feast prepared by the old boy and Sue in Langham
As Septemeber started - we had more excitement. I was a guest of the England cricket team at The Oval to watch them beat SA. A bit tenuous but Richard managed to blagg a couple of hospitality tickets. And then back to Bessingham for the unveiling of our new village sign, a visit from Radio Norfolk's treasure Quest programme and a trip to Holkham Hall for the food festival.

Here's hoping for a spot of quiet living again for a few months till Christmas rears it's head.
