New Year 2010-11 at Staithe House of Love - Norfolk!


4 years ago on 29th Dec Lynchy and I met in this very house with all these people around us at New Year.  We were lucky enough to be able to come back for NY 10/11 and share and amazing time with everyone again.  Tigger & Ione you are legends, thank you again so much : )

Also what a great bunch of people to see in the NY with and spend a few days hanging out.

Christmas 2010 - Skiing in St. Anton, Austria

Our Christmas was slightly different from usual in that Si and I went skiing! We have been to St. Anton in Austria before and it is such a great resort we decided to go back.


Last time we went skiing we did self-catering so we decided to treat ourselves this time and stay in a fully catered chalet. Our chalet was awesome, it was brand new and we were the first guests to stay in it. It was an 8 sleeper chalet consisting of 4 double en-suite bedrooms with balconies. Dining room and lounge are shared.

We were so lucky as we landed up with 3 other professional 30-something couples in our chalet, 2 english couple and an aussie couple who were great people.

This one's for Jen & Drew! Like our T-shirts : )

Our new helmets.

Typical austrian lunch on the mountain.  I was a fan of the Goulash Soup.

Christmas Eve, night time toboganning





It was very funny, Lynchy kept speeding round corner's and falling off into big piles of snow


Something wrong with this picture me thinks! ha ha
