Default Just got back from an awsome holiday

Well back to work today after an absolutly awsome holiday snowboarding! Considering that when we left last weekend they hadnt had any snow for 4+ weeks i was a little concerned. However it turns out we only had one day without fresh powder. A very very happy bunny.


Oh yes and I asked my girlfriend to marry me and she's said yes YAY (lost the speed tripple fund tho )

Speed triple, or a wedding. Are you completely off your f***ing tits?

Congrats mate.
Did you ask her dad for permission?

I found that bit more nerve racking than the whole proposal and wedding combined.

Cheers folks

Well i asked her dads permission. And at first he said no! just for a laugh. I was bricking it! Anyways he said yes. I waited till a couple of days before we went on holiday so no one knew apart from me and him.

I then drove up to leyburn to buy a novelty cupcake ring she had seen previously (months ago) and got that.

So missyc i took her up to the top of a mountain. Hoping it would be nice weather it actually turned into a blizzard once we were above 2500m so visibility was a bit poor. I had planned the spot and dragged her to the edge of a cliff that looked down the valley but you could just see snow so i was a little disappointed. I asked her to take the board off and walk to the edge but she was having none of it, looking back it was on the endge of a cliff in poor visibility and 3ft of powder so probably i could have thought that through better. Asked her to shut her eyes and got down on one knee, job done ! Thankfully she said yes.


And yc. Speed triple will be on the engagement ring! Wedding would get me a new garage, bikes etc! But thats a long way off i think!



Happy bunny.

He probably saved it for the last day, so that if it all went wrong it would only ruin one day's boarding...


P.S. Congratulations.
