WE HAVE COMPLETED THE SIX-POINTS TOUR OF GREAT BRITAIN!
See the travel blog in the Adventures section for full details.

We are delighted to announce the engagement of our daughter, Hannah, to Ben Steele.
They are planning their wedding for October, near Newcastle.
Invitations are out!

Further details to follow as they emerge!

Ben is a teacher and Special Constable, originally from Newcastle and now living and teaching in County Durham. Hannah and Ben met at Edinburgh Napier University and have been together for a few years now. We're genuinely delighted and very excited to have Ben join the family.

 

 

 

 

September 2024

 

The disruption as a result of the riots both to society and the courts died down thank goodness and we only had to deal with the prosecutions brought by the police as thy analysed CCTV.  That took a little while to sort out.

 

The students that Ian has been taking through their amateur radio licensing took their exam in the early part of the month.  Only one failed, and that was only by a couple of marks and she’ll retake.  The school is deciding how it wants to take radio forward, if at all.  It will really depend on whether a member of staff is keen.  In the meantime, M1UTC is valid and in place.

 

We spent a fantastic week in Cornwall, enjoying good weather in the main and seeing the sights of other parts.  We even adopted a lobster (named Rushey – we panicked a bit when we had to name it!)  It was a lovely week in a great cabin and we enjoyed ourselves a lot.  Tara loves this place and literally danced round the garden when we arrived.  Even the travel (which is a long way by UK standards) was good because we travelled on Sunday and avoided traffic.  Lots and lots of roadworks, though, and we wondered why traffic is slowed to 50 for no apparent reason at all!  Ian put the antenna up again and got lots of excellent contacts.
