London 2012 Olympic Handover Party

August 2008

We were lucky enough to get 2 tickets to the Olympic party.

Quite a display by the red arrows, a personal favourite of mine since seeing them at Aerospace every year as a kid



Pall Mall crowds.

Stage was placed just outside Buck palace, some decent music suprisingly; the likes of The Feeling, James Morrison, Heather Small & the cast of We Will Rock You. We did have to queue an awful long time for our ice cream though!

Stratford Upon Avon Race Day

August 2008

Turned out to be a bargain of a day...the campsite is in the racecourse itself and you get free entry to the races. Add to this a couple of wins, a couple of beers and the obligatory crap hot dog and you have the makings of a great day and 2 very happy campers!



Probably my winning horse romping home...



and Cheds losing horse bringing up the rear.



Havent a clue what it was but clearly bloody funny.

Warwick

August 2008

A weekend away in the Lunar found us in Warwick.

A stroll around the town led us to the castle...





We were content to enjoy the views from a distance since it cost 'how much!' to get in the place.



A very pretty town though and a nice day out.

July 2008

Andrews sister, Michaela, got married to Nigel out in Cyprus.

Best man, Ian, doing his duty.


Proud mum and dad (Christine & Derek)


Michaela and Nigel with the bridesmades, Amy & Charlotte, and Ryan as page boy.



Andrew with his sister, Nicola...

And mum.


After a BBQ there was plenty of disco dancing, beautifully demonstrated by Uncle Frankie!


We did have a 2 week holiday seeing as we were out there, and we did very little other than sunbathe, swim...
and eat and drink!

Bel's Birthday BBQ 2008

June 2008

Howell organised a surprise birthday for Bel at their flat. Weather stayed fine, Roons prepared delicious food, Andrew cooked it to perfection and a good time was had by all.

Howell making a speech and Andrew tucking in.


Roons modelling the lovely gift he bought for Bel, she was thrilled!


For some reason, at some point in the night, we decided sunglasses indoor were a good idea.


Well they do look pretty cool!
Ah how sweet, good mates sharing a dance...


Until Howell remembers who he is actually with.

Zoe's Leaving Do

June 2008

Well the day finally came when I left E&Y after 9 years with the firm. Had a great time working here with great people and its wierd to leave but life must move on. Leaving party at the pub in which we spent half of our lives.

Made some true for friends for life and yes, I'm afraid Jeroen with the large mouth is one of them! Accompanied by Mike.



Andrew and Ant, together rather sweetly gave themselves the name of Antrew, for the benefit of their record score.



Well he does love his food.



Myself and Nigel.

Weekend in Stamford

May 2008

Whilst out on a reccy of potential places to move to, we stumbled across the lovely town of Stamford. Its a gem, with cobbled streets and some lovely old buildings and we never knew it existed, so a few weeks later we took the camper and returned for a weekend for a proper look about.

Andrew Birthday

March 2nd 2008 - Andrews 32nd birthday.

Fully into my domestic goddess role, these were baked and iced with my own fair hands...



The weekend of Andrews birthday was Mims 'Heaven and Hell' themed party.



Horny little devil and rather fetching polyester monk!



Just a quiet few down the pub on Sunday to complete his birthday weekend. Wish I could remember what the joke was...
