Welcome to a slightly different blog… From now on Ali will be writing a purely climbing blog and I’ll be covering the “other stuff”. So if you want the beta on his latest crushes click HERE, or read on for the more fluffy stuff from our travels and non climbing life...

Southern Sunshine...

Having successfully procured some new wheels, we drove down south for some time with the Durham family! Unbelievably the summer continued down there too, allowing us some nice days out and some al fresco dining!


Our first day was spent on a bellringing outing in rural Wiltshire with my parents band - mostly mooching about the country churches while they did all the hard work of actually ringing the bells! 


A thoroughly recommendable pub - especially the chocolate honeycomb cheesecake. Possibly my best ever dessert?



One of many nice church interiors... Look at those pipes shine!






A quaint little chocolate box cottage in Avebury



Can you feel the energy of the standing stones?



Henry demolishes breakfast! 



Before a little work in the garden...



A stroll down Bucklebury village to the beautiful St Mary's Church. Taken shortly before the TV crews descended around a certain baby's birth...

Ali gets arty in the cornfields...



Another jolly good pub, with possibly the largest portions in the world. Again swarming with TV crews a few days later! 

Some pre-BBQ chilling...



Ali finds some a new subject in the garden...



Henry on patrol!



Some more al fresco dining...
