For Sarah's last couple of weekends prior to leaving for Madagascar, we decided to relax a little.

We escaped to Scotland for some kayaking on the Grand Tully. Met up with JP for some biking at a nice newish biking center - good fun even if it did rain all the way around.

Then visited Glentress on the way home, I even managed to get Sarah riding the doubles (jumps to you mother).

The weekend before we went biking up in the borders, I think I must have been feeling the lack of sleep caused by the early start as I proposed to Sarah at the top of the mountain.

She said yes, so we prompty headed back to Newcastle for a celebratory bottle and meal.



With that out of the way Sarah has now headed off to Madagascar for 12 weeks - so I'll allegedly be tiling the bathroom till she gets back ;-)
