We love our amazing sea view flat

flat

Hello everyone and once again, sorry for being so long. I often think up new ideas and structures to make this website more interesting but lately I have not been able to implement these ideas for two very founded reasons: I have been asked to make/write a website for Mike’s mum, who is an amazing artist and is wanting to have an online forum for namely her children’s alphabet posters and personalised framed name prints-possibly later her postcards, paintings and other art.

Senlis – kleine meneer van Dijk bezoeken!

Senlis-Teun-Geboren

Senlis 18 – 21 juni

Wat een verassing, kleine meneer van Dijk heeft zichzelf een maand te vroeg aangekondigd! Hij heet Teun en het gaat goed met moeder en zoon. Zoals ik al vertelde in het stukje over Snow Patrol, kregen Mike en ik dit geweldige nieuws in Glasgow te horen. Dezelfde dag hadden Cindy en ik al bekeken wanneer we samen vrij zouden zijn om langs te komen, want we konden natuurlijk niet wachten om Teun EIN-DE-LIJK te ontmoeten!!

Glasgow Snow Patrol concert

Saturday 12th June 2010 In January I started researching for an “epic” birthday present for Mike. The idea was a festival where Snow Patrol were playing as we both love this band! However, as I soon found out, it was not really known yet at the time which bands would be playing where and most people just buy tickets regardless of who is playing. As I know Mike is a big wuss and wouldn’t like random bands plus a possible night in a tent with loads of drunk people shouting through the night, I knew this was not an option.

Koh Phi Phi Thailand

Thailand

Koh Phi Phi Thailand – the whole month of February 2009 It’s not WHAT you know, but WHO you know I have decided to take advantage of the awful recession that is pestering most of the world these days. The airline I work for is allowing their cabin crew (and most of their staff) month(s) of unpaid leave, with keeping your job for when you get back and the use of the discounted staff travel, who in their right of mind would not take advantage of this?!.

So Monday the 2nd of February was the big day that I was planning to fly to Bangkok, but the ever changeable weather in the UK had other plans with me…
