Summer

I haven't blogged in quite a while! I think this is because I've spent the summer recuperating from the academic year, and I've really enjoyed having nothing to think about, having some free time and I actually had the opportunity to read a couple of books for sheer pleasure!

The picture is one taken when we were able to get out cycling along the coastal path from Bangor to Holywood. Cracking views!

Of course, there were a couple of camping trips. And, of course, it rained non-stop while we were camping! At one point the water table was so high that one morning we woke up with puddles in the bedroom!! Thankfully they were easily sorted, and if all else failed, the airbed (which has a rubber base) would have acted as a li-lo!!

We also had a friend come over from England to spend the weekend with us. We had a lovely time and went to County Fermanagh to visit the Marble Arch caves. She loved it and we thoroughly enjoyed her company!

Ken's sister gave birth at the beginning of the month to a beautiful girl called Alexandra. She really is a wee dote and we spent a couple of days in Dublin getting to know her and spending some time with his Mum.

So, now we're nearing the end of the summer, we're gearing up for our winter activities. I'm looking forward to getting back to college, but not to the loss of free time. More importantly, the ice hockey season starts soon! Let's go Giants!
