Yet again, we had an excellent long weekend at the WMSki cable wakeboarding lake in the Cotswolds. But for a change we went in a heatwave rather than constant rain. We went with friends, Gowry & Tim, and pushed each other to do some new things. Mel completed a whole…
We’re not art lovers. But we went to see the Banksy Exhibition at the Bristol Museum. We had to queue over an hour to get in, and another 45 mins to get into his exhibition room. But what was there was superb and worth the queue. In addition to his…
Thanks to my parents for our zorbing trip as one of our Christmas presents of Zorbing. We went down to Zorb South in Dorset for a wet ride. It was actually really good fun – Mel screamed with laughter all the way down. Only downside is the price – no…

What an excellent name for a band! After blasting this out this afternoon we decided the lyrics of one of Scouting For Girls songs was superb and worth a mention! We’ve booked in to see them live in Hammersmith in November when we’re back in the UK for a week…
Another great wakeboarding holiday with the boys at WM Ski in the Cotswolds. Took a while to get back into it – but had a great time. The team at WM Ski are superb and it was good to see some familiar faces. Much recommended. Mel sadly had a meeting…
