2015 – That was the year that was

2015 – a fairly momentous year:

We moved house:

IMG_3065 (506x506)IMG_6559-1 (800x800)… and then proceeded to knock part of it down …

IMG_1026-2 (800x800)… but we’re now “in the dry” for Christmas …

in the dry upright

… and we should have our brand new kitchen and loft space bedroom all finished by the end of February (when I then start landscaping the outside.)

Becky & I both caught the running bug …

IMG_5125-1 (600x800)In our nearly twenty years of marriage I would never have thought I would have been discussing personal bests and split times with my beloved!

I’m now running regularly, averaging about 5 mins per K as I run my favourite 6 or 7Km run.

The end result is that I have shed a few pounds …

IMG_1881 (800x800)… I’m claiming a loss of one and a half stone over the year …

IMG_9649-1 (800x800)… but that was nothing on Becky, who (quite rightly) gained celebrity status following her epic weight loss.

It was the year that Sam shed his snaggle tooth status as his corrective work was finished and his brace removed to reveal his smile …

IMG_9921 (800x800)… Sophie turned 16 (frightening that I am old enough to have a 16 year old daughter!) …

IMG_0677-1 (800x800)… and Sam finally – and emphatically – overtook his mum in the height stakes.

IMG_2255-1 (800x800)We had a great family holiday in Ibiza …

IMG_7865 (630x630)and Becky & I went to see Take That (good) and Scouting for Girls (blummin’ brilliant) …

IMG_2140-1 (800x800)2015 – A Great Year, but I reckon 2016 will be even better!

Cheers!
