Siw's 50th Birthday party at Babette's

Siw's birthday party was at local restaurant Babette's, and everyone had a great time, having a tapas style dinner followed by drinks in the next door bar area.

One of the more jokey gifts was a bucket of 300 Ikea tealights, which will keep Siw going for a week or two!

We won the 'who knows Siw best' competition!

Siw was presented with a a captain's hat along with money for a canal boat trip in the UK from PK and Jens.

Siv was presented with a photo from a recent trip to Ikea!!!

SEVEN! Sigbjørn and Ket get their vote after dancing.

During the good weather, we went to see the Havmann in the water, and at a visit to Bakeribygget for lunch and a quick look at the model of the old Moholmen area

Holiday in Mo i Rana

We're just back from a week's holiday in Mo i Rana, visiting Siw and family for her 50th birthday party. Despite the chilly weather when we arrived (minus 21 C!), it was sunny during first few days which was very pleasant for some walks down to the sea front.

The Wherry

Saturday evening we went to The Wherry, for a few drinks and some food where Lev and I took on the mountain of food that is the Steak and Kidney pudding!!

Southwold Pier

While in Southwold we went onto Southwold Pier, which has got a rather unusual Tim Hunkin amusement arcade called the Under the Pier Show, which as you can see is a long way away from today's traditional seaside arcades!

Trip to Southwold

We spent the weekend visitng Lev and Sarah in Norfolk. After a pleasant Friday evening having dinner and chatting, on the Saturday we had a trip out to Southwold. It was very cold and windy, but the rain held off long enough for us to have a tour of the village, see the famous beach huts as well as a trip out onto the Pier.

West Ham v Hull

With all the lads helping Littlebeard move, Russell took the spare ticket to see West Ham beat Hull 3 - 0. It was good to see a decent performance for once...and a win!!!

You tell 'em Gianfranco!

Its the man with TheLongestNameInFootball!!

Sunday at Adventure Island

On Sunday after staying at Fi and Grae's, despite it being chilly and overcast, we all went to Adventure Island, and went on some rides. Unfortunately Grae was unable to go on Rage, but Fi and Harvey had a good time on the Pharoah's Fury.

Fi and Grae's for dinner

Siv went out shopping with Fi and Anne in Leigh, while I stayed at home with Grae and Harvey. Later, Paul arrived with Christopher and Matthew, and Grae cooked everyone a very nice roast dinner.
