Been a while since the last post. The family congregated in Istanbul for Mums birthday in September, which was a fantastic weekend. Istanbul is a fascinating city, with so much going on, and beautiful scenery around every corner. The only time I'd been there before was for the Champions League Final in 2005.... and that was more about the football than the culture. But this time there was plenty of time to play tourists.
It was also the start of Ramadan, and although the locals generally follow the fast during the day, they certainly know how to party as soon as the sun goes down!
Here are some photos.
Since the trip to Turkey, its been a quiet (and welcome) time without airports and travel for me. I haven't really missed the travelling.... it can get quite boring and tiring, and being away from home so much can get frustrating.
However Christina has been travelling all over the USA! - she spent a week working near Boston, and a couple of days in Dallas. Lego have an "education centre" over in Texas, and theres a good possibility in the future that Christina could take a stint over there... something we'd definately like to do!
On the homefront, we've done some basic home improvements and sorted out the basement. Plus we've been pretty active with the local running club which we joined to get a little bit more motivation to our running regime. It seems to have paid dividends - we ran a 10km race last weekend in one of our fastest times yet.
