Now lets see what has happened in the last 4 months?
Hmmm well got engaged over xmas that probably the biggest news
Darrell then had to spend 7 weeks in Norway with the army but we actually had more snow in the UK.
The darn snow meant I couldn’t ride for almost a month as the [...]

The move is over Fleur is now in situ in her new yard and has settled in really well and me and Darrell are now in our house complete with ebay bargain £12 sofa!! A trip to Ikea was required at the weekend but most of the unpacking is now done and it is really [...]

OK yes no posts in a while but that is for the simple reason that life hasn’t been that exciting so hadn’t really had anything that warranted posting!

It was run with a medieval theme and was completely decked out with decorations made by the lads as well as having medieval style entertainers. Was a [...]
