Deb starts new job at Melton Mowbray College. 3 days a week, changing to 4 near the end of the year. It is a longer journey, almost an hour each way, but less stress.
Hannah wins boys u13 Basketball league. They also win the first round of the playoffs but just loose in the 2nd round. She also gets to the playoffs in the girls u14s, but looses in the first round. She also plays for the girls u16 team. Hannah has a bad back during the end of the season and goes to see an Osteopath during the summer. Hannah also sees a psychotherapist during the summer about her nerves.
Andy running. Following a few injuries in 2014 I start off the year building up in the gym. I did the Stanwick 10k, Silverstone 10k (very very wet), Corby 5k and Milton Keynes 10k. After EVAC (see below) in the summer I had a bad knee which kept me out for rest of the season (only getting back it the gym at the end of the year).
James leaves home. During the summer he moved into a house in Wellingborough sharing with a chef mate. Whilst moving his stuff I banged my car into a the hedge in the front garden, making a hole in the wing which was expensive.
Big cats photo shoot. Also during the summer I went to Woburn Safari park to photograph the big cats (and other animals). I went with Adrian Howes from work.
EVAC. Again during the summer I was roped into doing EVAC when WDAC were short. I did 2 meetings (firstly doing 400m relay, Javalin, Hammer, High Jump, 1500m, Triple Jump) (second Discus, 100m, Shot, 100m Hurdles, Long Jump). But during the Hurdles I aggrevated my knee and then really hurt it during the Long Jump. Was then out of sport for the rest of the year.
Bella. We got our 2nd dog, a French Bulldog. I didn't know anything about it, Deb drove down to Essex to pick her up during the summer holidays.
Thorpe Park. During the summer holidays we went to Thorpe Park for a day out. It was not very crowded due to the accident at Alton Towers earlier in the year.
County and East Midlands basketball. Hannah was in the County u15 team and they won the East Midlands tournament. She was then in the East Midlands u15 team at Sheffield. We stayed over at a Premier Inn, Deb had her glasses broken. Afterwards Hannah was not selected for England but others were which was annoying.
Holiday in Cornwall. Our summer holiday was in a caravan in Cornwall. Two dogs. It was a very long trip down 6 hours. We went to Newquay Zoo and the Eden Project. Spent time on the beach and went swimming most days. Most days were hot apart from one. Trip back Douglas had bad tummy.
Architecture course in London. I went on an Architecture course in London for a week. It was next to the Tower of London.
Kathryn has a car crash.
Debs mum died. She had a stroke and was in hospital for 6 months, first in Northampton and then in Kettering. She was eventually put in an old peoples home, but had a relapse and was moved back to Northampton were she died. Deb became close with her auntie Pauline.
Basketball Southend trip. Hannah played Southend and we stayed the night in a Premier Inn with the dogs. The weather was not good.
Very good Christmas. Kathryn and Luke stayed both nights. Christmas Day we build the Christmas Lego. Dinner went well was all cooked good. Presents included wii u, LOTR chess set, iphone, ipad, Swaski Eyore. We played new Wonky Blocks game (very good), watched Inside Out, played lots of games including egg tower. James came in the evening and stayed the night.
