Back in the Old World....!

The blog hasn't been updated since last December.... We're not in Sydney anymore, so the title needs changing really, will have a look into that. Quite a few things changed, I arrived back from Australia in February and Lisa and I now live in Venlo Gardens, Cheadle Hulme in Cheshire.

Decoration/renovation is still underway, the 3 bedrooms upstairs are pretty much finished, after a lot of wall paper stripping and getting rid of smelly curtains.



Early april, my parents came over for a visit and to help with decorating. It was still very wintery, at least in the back garden.


Work started mid-April, in Billingham near Middlesbrough. During the week I'm staying in Yarm, a pretty little town on the river Tees.
Not far from work is Redcar, on England's east coast. A bit further south is Saltburn-by-the-Sea, which a few nice buildings on the seafront.




The North York Moors, with some good walking trails, start just south of Saltburn.
Bert came over for a visit on his bike and after work we went for a walk in the moors to Roseberry Topping.
The first Monday of May was a bank holiday, Arjan came over from NL for a day and we went for a walk from Edale, which is at the start of the Pennine Way.
