Hi there all,Its been a while but things are slowly moving along nicely. We now only have 2 weeks left on the Isle of Man and are pretty much happy to move on now. We have managed to secure a place in Whitehaven with a guy (Richard the house owner) who is into his kayaking, climbing and mountain biking. Hopefully we will get a little inside knowledge on where the best places to play are.

The only thing we need to get now is a car as I need one for the first day of work - then of course how to get ourselves and all our things from the IOM to Whitehaven! Hmm interesting.

We spent the long weekend back on the mainland. Neil's cousin Sarah got married in Cirescester. It was a lovely (relaxed) English ceremony and it was good to meet some of the English side of his family and catch up with his Granny again. Luckily it was a stunning day which was a welcome change from the last few weeks on the island. We stayed with Fi and Stu in Bristol the other days. Kayaking around Bath and Bristol and mountain biking in Southern Wales on the way down and back. The change of senery was very welcome, the trails wonderful and the canals intriguing. All in all a very successful weekend!
