Wedding Anniversary Number Three

As hard to believe as it seems to me, three years have now gone by (well on Friday) since Nicky and I got married. We repeated last years events we enjoyed them so much. We headed up to Stratford Upon Avon again, for fine food, rowing and Shakespeare.

This time we saw Ian McKellan in King Lear, it was excellent, everything I expected. We have really been very lucky two years running, last year it was Patrick Stewart in Anthony and Cleopatra. To have seen two of the greats in Shakespeares home town in quality productions is great.

Before the play we had fine food and wine, then after the show pudding back at the hotel.

Marvellous.

A very tame Reading Beer Festival this year

Wow, we must be getting old, it was the tamest Beer Festival we have been to yet. We drank plenty, all day long, but just did not seem to get drunk. Was great to have the usual crowd there, although we were missing a few due to weddings etc.

On the plus side Rosspo, Darth Limpet, Chudplug, Bert and I did all wear tweed, and Chudplug and I bought pipes for the occasion. As per usual the pictures are up on flickr-rossputin, and flickr-theplugs.

Roll on Newbury Beer Festival now, when we will have to try to get back into the drinking games :-)

A little update on our busy lives

A few months ago, I blogged about getting a new job. I am still loving it, nice little company, great location, interesting work, cups of tea made for me all day, marvellous.

Well, after a long difficult search Nicky has a new job now also, she is finally leaving Francis Bailey Primary School after eight years teaching there. Nicky will be starting a new job at John Rankin in September, so now hopefully her life will be easier knowing what the future holds.

On the house front, we accepted an offer on ours, and then found a nice new place just up the road. We made an offer on that and had it accepted, so fingers crossed, it could all go smoothly.

Updates to follow soon.
