2011 Photo Highlights

January - The year begins with my 46th birthday. Some people worry about getting older but I embrace it. I've never felt better ... and anyway, what's the alternative!?

 

Andy and I learned to jive .... well I did ;) hehe!

February - Mum and Dad celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

 

For me, spending time with my family is always a great boost. We always have a laugh ... happy days!

March - More work on my tattoo... Jason at Black Dog Tattoos

 

April - Spent some track time with lovely Neil Hodgson (2000 and 2003 British Superbike Champion).
