Been a while...

...since I updated my blog. Been a bit busy over the last couple of months which isn't a bad thing as have got quite a lot done. I'm still running which is a good thing as it's getting closer to the Norwich Half Marathon, and even though it's still 3 or so months away I'm beginning to realise a lot more training is required.

August has been full of activity so far. We went down to Eve's naming day ceremony at Chris and Jen's in Hastings, which despite the 6.5 hour journey (it should take 3 hours) was a very good day. Picture below of Even getting into the proceedings.



She went straight for the beer bottle, no stopping her, and was quite perplexed or even vexed, when enforced separation occurred prior to imbibing. Despite this she seemed to enjoy the occassion, even the snail racing...or was that us, I can't remember.

Got a big project launched at work successfully which is great, a new Travel Insurance product just in time for the summer hols. It seems to be selling okay so looking good so far. And the project came in slightly under budget and ahead of timescales so a winner for me.

Just got back from Scotland after spending a few days with my parents in Loch Melfort, near Oban. Also managed to visit my Auntie Jen and Uncle John on the way which was great as it's been a while.

Despite a few rainy days it was a great mini hols, even though Lucy couldn't come due to being out of holiday. Managed to get out and do a bit of sailing on the Loch, as well as walking and fishing. With regards to the latter we caught quite a few Mackerel and smoked them in Tom's smoker; we met up with friends of the family - Tom, Julie, and Ant and Lyn. The mackerel was excellent and now have some pate made from it. Couple of pics from the holiday below.
