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 at Shotton Grange, Seaton Burn, Newcastle.
Invitations going out soon!

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.


February 2024

 

February was the wettest one on record!  It seems that it never stopped – there were some days that were less rainy than others but they tended to have drizzle instead.  We got little flooding, though – we’re hilly here – but the south of England got it very much worse than we did.  The farmers are not happy since their crops are rotting in the ground and we are expecting increased food prices as a result ... but what doesn’t cause increased prices one way or another?

 

February brought lots of visitors to our AirBnB (https://airbnb.co.uk/h/durham-brandon-flat), which is always nice to see.  Some come and go without us seeing them, others interact with us and we have met some very nice people.  At one point we were turning the place round every couple of days.

 

We had lots of sittings this month, each having two new magistrates as mentees, and we had some interesting cases between us.  Lois went to Doncaster to see the dance performance that Anjie (Lois’ niece and god-daughter) had put on with the dance workshop she owns and runs.  While there, Lois was able to see her sister who is suffering from dementia.  Ian was busy this month working with the RSGB as British Science Week co-ordinator but also organising his own day at the UTC next month where he will introduce students to amateur radio.
