Kids Kingdom!

In a crazy ironic twist, Catherine decided it would be a great idea to celebrate her 18th Birthday by re-living her childhood!

Thus myself, Ros, drew and Su and Catherines' school friends found ourselves sprinting across rope ladders, balancing on giant red balls and throwing ourselves down a death slide at Kids Kingdom!

Seriously guys... we all got to do this sometime!!!

You even get to bring your own music!! (Up there for me would have to be 'Dangerzone' from the Top Gun sound track!)

I did at first wonder how it might turn out, (would we, twenty-somethings, simply find a nice spot within the ball-pit put to discuss car insurance and mortgages for the night?), but before I knew it I was running around like an eight year old... chasing my wife!

Gell and Sarah's Honeymoon

Hi Guys

The long awaited Honeymoon was quality.

Here are a few pictures, (courtesy of Chris's camera, cheers mate!).

Sarah is at a local market mingling with the Maltese people like she had lived there all her life! Tremendous effort.

It's a bus, but not like the one's in this country!

Look it's a statue with a baseball cap! How funny!

Behind this local fisherman and cat friend you can see the fabulous Fortina Spa Hotel which provided our accomodation and dining experiences throughout our week long break.

I had a truly amazing time with my beautiful wife, in fact I think we'll probablly have another honeymoon next year (and why the devil not eh!?)

JON BILBROUGH DEMO CD!!

Major Catch up!!!

My my my!

What fun we've had. To be honest I've forgotten the order we did it all in. Feel free to correct me, but I do remember it happening something like this...

One sunday we gathered for a community meal at Phil and Emmas! Phil posted lots of great quotes up on the walls about hospitality and Ian told a story from the Bible before we shared bread and wine together. Was great also to see Mark and Anna from Chi!

Then Rob sang a bit of kareoke! (howdoyouspell?)

Here are some more pics and quotes...

So then, if I remember wrongly,

There was a Mens' Prayer Breakfast at Dewi's!
Which started like this...

And ended like this...

I very nearly stacked it on the top of the railway bridge due to the slippery frost but managed to make it safely over where we all congregated in his warm kitchen and fed both our stomaches and our souls before heading off to work.

Later was Chris' surprise birthday bowling party...which I have no picture for....(but Dewi does!!) I very much enjoyed watching Gell pelt it down the lane like a mad 'barbarian-bowler' swinging the ball 360 degrees before letting go, watching the ball fly at great speed and stepping back to check his miles per hour score. This was greatly contrasted to Chris' technique, who walked up to the lane very slowly and calmly, and simply placed the ball on the ground, whereby some deep magic the ball shot down the lane at similar speed like it had a mind of its own. Amazing!

Then the Birthday celebrations continued with Rich's curry night on Friday!

Was great to have the whole place to ourselves, laughing and merrymaking. At one point a full mexican wave was attempted only to be disrupted at both ends by those in the yellow shirts!!

Later Rich gave an interesting short Birthday speech about us all needing to pay about £10 each including drinks. Was a great night!

And then....it was Jos Birthday!!!

With a great music playlist, drapes and a wonderful mix of Romford people and candles that refused to blow out, even when Jo squashed them.

Thus ends the longest Blog ever, possibly in completely the wrong order with all the wrong spellings. Which leads me one final question...

who reads this?
