Thanks Mike and Gail

July 31st, 2008

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.
