Susan and Matt: April 2008
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, April 2, 2008. National Lampoon's IKEA excursion. Finally, the first London blog. By now we’ve been in London for 7 weeks . can’t believe how quickly the time has gone. After 2 weeks of pounding the pavement looking for a place to live, registering personally with 15 – 20 real estate agents (cos anything advertised on the internet isn’t actually available anymore .) and two unsuccessful offers on other places we’ve now moved into our London home. He carried all of our stuff from the side of th...

Susan and Matt: Summer in London - but where is the sun?
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/11/summer-in-london-but-where-is-sun.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. Summer in London - but where is the sun? We had kept waiting for summer to finally arrive in London - it never did, so to get our fix of sunshine, we did what alotof Londoners do . head to the continent. Summer in London seemed to take on the same, but disapointing theme . some nice warm days during the week, as Friday rolled around, the weather turned rather dire . humid, cloudy and rain! So where to catch some sun .hmmmmmm how about Italy? Neither of us knew much about Varese...

Susan and Matt: my Tour - what Mountains - Part 1
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/07/my-tour-what-mountains-part-1.html
Monday, July 14, 2008. My Tour - what Mountains - Part 1. So after I bit of internet research – I found what I was looking for and signed up – well, I was fit and can ride a bit, how hard can 165km over 2 of the largest mountains in the Pyrenees be? Then I scanned my way to the end of the stage – a nice hilltop finish in Hautacam, this one only 1500m. Phew, well after conquering Tourmalet, this should be as piece of cake! Check out the stage profile ! Problem 1 – ok, got this one solved, after many...

Susan and Matt: my Tour - Part 2 (the War and Peace version)
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/08/my-tour-part-2-war-and-peace-version.html
Sunday, August 3, 2008. My Tour - Part 2 (the War and Peace version). Ok, it has been a while since my first installment of the ride through the Pyrenees, so here is the second and last - albeit very, very long! So, it is Thursday night, the night before we jump on a plane and head to the Pyrenees. I’m packing and packing – taking my bike apart (quite nervous that I’ll leave a critical part of it behind, like the front wheel or the seat! So, after negotiating with the helpful lass at the car rental count...

Susan and Matt: February 2008
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 18, 2008. Canada - Update 3. Sue: the last few days in Canada . As I was having a leisurely day at home on Friday Matt had a stack on his snowboard and hurt his shoulder. Nothing too serious, i.e. it's not broken or dislocated. It's pretty sore though. Given that a man's really only useful for carrying heavy things. His usefulness has rather diminished . just as well he's so cute. Seriously though, it's getting better by the day (except when I ask him to do things). Sunday we woke to 5 d...

Susan and Matt: A Weekend in Brugges - not the film
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008/11/weekend-in-brugges-not-film.html
Sunday, November 23, 2008. A Weekend in Brugges - not the film. So, it has been a little while since we've updated this blog . but with the weather turning rather chilly - snow overnight and -2, it is a good excuse to get typing. After the Tour adventure, we wee keen to keep travelling - we had been given alot of good info about Brugges, it is close, very cute and famous for beer, moules (mussels) and chocolate - so why wouldn't we go? When we walked out of the front of the station, I had a feeling I was...

Susan and Matt: March 2008
http://susanandmatt.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 16, 2008. France . and the mystery of the expanding jeans! Sue: now I remember why we moved to London! After a rather frustrating few weeks of looking for places to live (to no avail) we travelled to France for 5 nights. This was mainly due to Matt's procrastination technique of pretending to look for work on the net (where I thought he was being very conscientious) but really looking for places to travel to. However, the fine chap did a sterling job. We then went for a walk along the prome...

Susan and Matt: May 2008

Wednesday, May 21, 2008. Matt and Sue - Birdwatching walkers? Remember Jane Hathaway on the Beverly Hillbillies? The spinster, academic, birdwatching secretary to Mr Drysdale? Who on earth would like to be like her? After a nervous journey to Gumshall - concerned not only about the walk itself, but whether David and Lisa had binoculars and bird books in their backpacks - to my relief, I found out that our walk was rated only 3 out of 10 for dificulty (no pikes or triple somersaults required) and that it ...
