Shocking news! My mother and father have been parents for 20 years! Anyways these are some photos from my birthday. It was so fun! Jon came up from Sheffield and we made dinner for our friends Amy and Hannah. We made a herbed rack of lamb(it looks moss covered in the photo), An amazing salad that even the sumanik family would enjoy! Roasted potatoes. I can't remember what all these things are called but they can all be found in Gordon Ramsay's Sunday Brunch. Amy and Hannah made me the beautiful triple chocolate cake. The next night Jon and I made ourselves a huge dinner of which there is no pictures to celebrate my birthday/our one year anniversary. Again I can't remeber the name pork tenderloin butterflied so it could be stuffed with sage and lemon, ... read more

I am now making preaparations for cycling in India in mid February. Visa obtained and health jabs taken. I need to keep baggage weight down to comply with Emirates 20 k allowance. I am sure it is not attainable since bike and bag are in excess before rest of gear. I am looking forward to the experience since it will be the first time in a non western culture.... read more

It's New Years Eve and I have been home for 2 weeks. The sun hasn't been out once and beer is expensive. I've had enough. I'm going back to Thailand to cheer myself up. I have decided to go back out and do Divemaster on Ko Tao. If I don't do it now then I never will and will regret it for the rest of my life. I fly out on 14th Jan for 1 month, then its back home to grow up and look for a job. But before i do anything I have old friends to catch up with. I havn't been back to Northampton in over a year, and I have yet to meet Megan Dempsie, who was born while I was away last year, so I am combining the 2 in a ... read more

My final game of cricket for Barrow was in Darwen, this was close to where Todd was staying in Wigan so I caught the train. This game was supposed to see me get 5 wickets, hit the last ball for 6 to win the game and rightfully get all the praise and glory. Unfortunately no one told that to the opposition. Their pro especially didn’t want to co-operate scoring a meager 205 not out. They declared for 310 off just 45 overs. Needless to say there were some pretty awful bowling figures. I managed to take 2 wickets, but for 50 runs off 5 overs (for all you non-cricketers that isn’t awesome). I got a bit angry if truth be told as I ran their pro out with a direct hit when he was on 150 ... read more
