A house, an engagement party, graduation, a degree, New Designers in London, a trip to California, start a full time job, oh and plan a wedding. 2012 doesn't look too shabby.

What IS he up to now?

Blogging for me is a great way for me to keep everyone up to date with all the day-to-day bits I'm up to as well as the bigger aspects of my goings on.

Happy New Year

Well what can I say. You don't have to look at the ticker on this blog to realise that I have seriously neglected this blog. 
Lots of exciting things have changed over the last 18months and it's kind of sad that I haven't documented them on here. 
Well, the plan of action is as follows:
Since I started this blog as my personal online space for pictures and ramblings I have started and finished my degree, bought a house, got married, completed and restarted my Mini project, got married, started a new job and now we have a baby on the way. So with all this in mind I think its time for a clean slate.
I'll be starting up a new blog that will be on behalf of Verity, myself and the ever increasing bump!
This blog will stay live and act as an achieve but will have a link to the new one at the top of the page.

Watch this space - 2014 will be an interesting one, I promise.

Honeymoon

Just a couple of snaps to share with you at the moment. More to come once real life resumes Monday.

Married!

Last Saturday Verity and I got married. There are an awful lot of thank yous to be dishes out but for now we are taking some time out to relax in The Lakes on our honeymoon. 
You can expect an update soon!

Verity wanted to take this picture to show me what a state I looked

I was so glad to find this hatch as the tappets had come un seated and I didn't know how I was going to sort that.
