Nantle Ridge & Snowdon


Nantle Ridge & Snowdon, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

I am just back home from my annual treat of a weekend - a couple of days away with a few blokes walking; this year we went tp Beddgelert in Snowdonia and on Saturday did the Nantle Ridge and on Sunday Snowdon. The weather was absolutely amazing, the company first class and the banter totally boyish. Lucky chap. Therapy.

Tom Sarah, Robbie and David visit at half term


Untitled, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.
last week the Bells ventured north to stay in Docker and were greeted by some typical Northern weather - sun sun and blue skies! We ate and drank far too much and mixed in a bit of walking on Loughrigg (pictured here), a visit to Sedbergh and Dent. A bonus extra bit of icing on the cake was that Dave C was also able to join us for a night - now based at Bangor. Great days, great photos too - see the link here.

Last week we welcomed my colleagues Wei Xing, Ting Zhang and Ying Wang to our house, it was exciting for the children to meet my Chinese Colleagues. Wei has been working with me for a year in Lancaster and we had a dinner party to say farewell to him.

New school for Matt


, originally uploaded by Phil Haygarth.

Matt started his new school on Monday. Although he was understandably apprehensive about the change, he got through the first week in great shape and seems relaxed and happy with his new routine. School bus service door to door, school only 5 miles away, lots of friends nearby, great school.....

Yesterday, Grandma, Angus and I journeyed to Peel Park at Bradford to see Uncle Dave compete (and come c. 20th) in the National Championships, great fun, and a few pictures on the flickr site if you click on the photo.
