We have finally got around to having Caitlin christened … we had a nice service at St Georges Church (where Sarah and I got married) and nibbles and beer afterwards at the Park Inn in York.
I think this just about sums up our little girl!

Caitlin’s Christening
Thursday, January 21st, 2010Caitlin’s First Christmas
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010This year was Caitlin's first christmas … as was expected she was more interested in the wrapping paper and boxes than the presents … not that that stopped everyone spoiling her! The biggest hit of the festive season was the tags on the presents!
The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix
Thursday, November 5th, 2009Every year my Dad very kindly takes me to a Formula 1 race. This year was no exception, apart from the fact that rather than choosing a European race he decided we should go to Abu Dhabi. The race at the Yas Marina Circuit was brand new on the calendar and the season finale, so was set to be an exciting one.
Biking in Wales with YCC
Sunday, September 27th, 2009Last weekend we went to Wales with YCC for a Mountain Biking trip organised by Badger. To be honest it was more about testing our ability to survive a weekend in a bunkhouse with Caitlin and try and ‘do stuff’ as well. As well as Caitlin Fionn joined us (obviously with Orna & Ian) and we bagged the little room at the Conwy Valley Barn a nice little bunkhouse just outside Tal-y-bont. On the whole all went well, we all managed to get some sleep … we don’t seem to have been banned from further trips until Caitlin and Fionn reach beer drinking age and we both got to ride.
Great North Run 2009
Monday, September 21st, 2009This story starts a long time ago … in 2004 actually … for some reason someone convinced me it would be a good idea to run the Great North Run. Way back then you payed your money you got your place so once I’d coughed up I was in! I quite foolishly didn’t do any training. I did however finish the 13.1 miles in what is still my best time of 2 hours 32 minutes ish. This was the last year that the Great North Run didn’t have individual timing for all runners so this was based on the time on the clock at the finish minus the time it took me to cross the start line.
