John and Andrea Udberg’s Website

We were in Birmingham last weekend to see Shona and Simon.  On the Saturday the girls went off to do Wedding things while Simon and I went off to the city’s IMAX theater to see the fantastic ‘The Dark Knight’.  Unfortunately the cinema was booked out so we had to make do with a trip to the pub and an afternoon of Olympics on the Wii (I am now the official javelin World record holder)

Saturday night we Celebrated Shona and Simons engagement in style at a city bar.  Pictures from Shona’s camera can be seen starting here.  We had a great night and it was good to see some of the people we met last year at the Lakes and some of their other mates.

Sunday was a lazy day spent browsing the shops, watching Hot Fuzz and rounded off with a Chinese Buffett dinner.

I’m looking forward to the start of the Premiership season tomorrow.  I have 3 fantasy football teams on the go so the pressure is on.

Andrea is running daily (well, almost…) and is gearing up for another week of Olympics couch supporting.  She has ordered a Wetsuit which should be with us imminently so the surfing can really take off.

The last set of pictures from Mike and Gail’s visit start here with our foggy visit to the Priory, then go on to show the BBQ at Dave and Mary’s, finishing off with Alnwick gardens on Sunday.

The BBQ was great, everyone seemed to have a good time.  Dave put on an excellent spread and the lions head was as popular as ever.

Tuesday morning we drove to the airport and saw them off.  It has been great to show Mike and Gail around the region and Edinburgh.

Andrea is now in serious holiday mode and is thinking deeply about training for the Great North Run.

Photographs from our trip North start here.

They document our travels from Holy Island, camp in Embleton, a trip out around the Farne Islands, Edinburgh and the Falkirk Wheel!

The website move is now complete, you should hopefuly find the site alot faster!  If you come accross any problems or broken pictures in the gallery please let me know!

We are back from our trip North, we’ve had a great time!  More on that when we have sorted through out 800 odd photo’s…

These pictures are from Monday, Andrea was in school in the morning and I took Mike and Gail to the ‘historic abbey town’ of Hexham then some of Hadrian’s Wall at Housesteads.

I am also busy uploading the website to a new host which should make the site alot faster… that should be done in a few days

After Andrea had taken Mike and Gail to her church this morning, we headed off to Durham.

Pictures start here of us exploring the Angel of the North, Durham town and the Cathedral.

We are going to Mary and Daves for dinner tonight.
