The Google Conference took Mark and his Colleague Gianpi to San Francisco for a week in May so the WAGS, (Me and Ale) tagged along for a holiday. We must have travelled to every corner of the city by foot, bus and Segway (everyone should try these). The best city in USA in our opinion, such friendly people and extremely liberal attitudes, especially in how they choose to dress, (or not) for their annual ‘Bay to Breakers’ fun run.

End-of-season Snowboarding was neatly tied in with a luxury spa break to celebrate our second wedding anniversary. After a couple of days of hammering down the pistes with Tim & Ray in brilliant sunshine and on surprisingly good snow we headed off to Lyon to sooth our aching muscels and float around the hotel’s outdoor lazy river.

We spent a weekend in the lake district to celebrate Zoe, Fudge and Mark’s 30th birthdays. A brilliant time was had by all with much drinking, eating and chilling out in the jacuzzi. The photos speak for themselves

Pauline & Tom had a long holiday cruising and touring the USA at the start of this year. When they settled in Florida for a few months us kids, typical freeloaders, descended to destroy their peace and relaxation. With Auntie Chris, Hunky Paul, Robyne and James following we had a really fantastic family break and celebrated Mark’s 30th in style. The theme parks were hit hard but we also had time in some of the beautiful national parks and beach resorts.

We spent a beautiful wintry month living in Malmo in January while Mark worked in ustwo’s Swedish office. We wined and dined with the team on several occasions and met the newest edition, baby Ossian. Lynzi Mac also popped over for a break in Malmo and we all had a weekend in Copenhagen together.
