update

Been nearly a year since I blogged
So quick update:
Work: finished at Urenco in October as the contract was postponed; so I was transferred to Newcastle Royal Victoria Infirmary to work on a contract to build two 8 storey office block.
Now in August this has neared completion, so will soon be on my way.
Initially to Oxford to work on the Maths institute bulding at oxford University for 4-5 weeks and then back up to Manchester to work on the Airport line of the Metrolnk and back to sleeping in my own bed.

House, work on house has been suspended as I was living away in the week up in Newcastle and couldn’t get going on the redecoration, but must start it.
The garden is looking really good this year, and C and I are getting our heads round things we can attempt.
I bought some roses from Fryers that were on offer and 3 out of the 5 bought have grown and produced lovely flowers, and the harsh pruning the C did in the winter have turned the pink rose bushes in the front garden into giants and they smell lovely.

Caching: Being up in n ewcastle has been great for caching as I had nothing else to do in the evenings so I went out and about finding caches all over County Durham usually getting 5 or 6 a night, the consequence of this is that my numbers have shot up, and in the 6months from Jan to June I had done more caches than I had done in a full year in both 2010 and 2009, over 650 caches found!!. ( but its not about the numbers) I have seen some great things along the Tyne river, plenty of deer in woods in the evenings, red Kites, Salmon jumping the weir at Hexham, to name a few that come straight to mind, too many to list in this recap .

So here’s looking forward to a new area to cache in round oxford, then at last after a year working away, to be back home every night and getting reinvolved in the Pennine model railway society
