Did a 2 day kitsurfing course last weekend – managed to get up on the board and had one quality run. Pretty epic. Looking around for some kit now!

Arriving at 2am this morning, weighing in at 9 pounds 10 ounces, a new member of the family.

I’m now an uncle!

we visited Tullys farm last weekend to pick-our-own raspberries. In fact we just made some jam out of the fruit we got – most tasty. Anyway, we saw a couple of rather lovely pigs.

and a bizarre overhead walkway for some goats…

Geoff and I start the long walk back to the campsite after battling with the elements for a few hours, attempting to catch a break or two.

A few photos from our trip to portugal. lovely weather and good beaches. and tasty fish.

The beach east of our hotel, where the fishing boats and vollball courts were.

The view from Silves; halfway up the hill towards the castle.

The famous chapel – it’s wall being entirly made of human bones. Nice.

me, posing. you’ll notice that my trunks are of a suitable length so as to cover the knee.

A few photos from yesterday’s excitement. I’ve put the rest on blog.livster.net/brockbank-gibbs/
