| Eating - an Olympic sport! |

When Annaliza sees the beach huts,

From the Cotswolds (after a few emotional farewells) it was
straight to the English Riveria – from one UK highlight to another! Barely got
our feet into Casa Balfour before we had to shoot off for our very own Olympic
event – fortunately only a dinner rather than anything strenuous! Despite
thinking this was related to the 2012 London Olympics, turns out that there’s
also a culinary Olympics (

– if you ever get a chance to sample one of these get involved!

The ins-pier-ing delights of
Weston-Super-Mare |
We started some wedding planning of our own in searching for
a venue, whilst reconnecting with the Torquay / Devon area during a couple of
daytrips. Tony also got his first experience of working for the institution
that is Balfour Photographics (in a vain attempt to get an invite for the golf
day!). Yep – a drive out to Weston-super-mare at the crack of dawn to collect
the photos, where we depressingly came in below the average annual sales. We
unhesitatingly blamed the photographer…

| Catching up with firends |
 |
Vicar's close - Wells (a bit wonky due
to balancing on a bin...) |
 |
| Torquay, at it's finest |
 |
| We do love a bit of clog dancing! |
 |
| The half marathon - go IronRik, IronBruco et al |
That weekend was another Balfour tradition, being the Torbay
half marathon. We didn’t enter ourselves – left that to IronRik and
friends – but we got involved with other elements of the Babbacombe Festival,
most notably the Ceilidh and clog dancing.

Torquay's famous Banksy -
unfortunately it had been
graffiti'd! |

| Out with the Beaut, in with the Gorge! |
Sealed the deal on our purchase of the Balfour
Photographics’ car, to enable the upgrade to a Honda Jazz for M&D Balfour
(silver, not red, or blue for that matter!) – what kind folk we are. After
serious deliberations, chose to christen it ‘The Gorge’, to keep a common theme.
Having 5 doors still feels like an absolute luxury!
