Exiting times!!!

Well, what news to tell.
Firstly, Simon has a new job!!! After 14 years of being in print, 7 of which have been on the night shift, he has finally made the step into a new career. He has been offered a job as a sales advisor in Primera, a bike shop in Charminster. He is very exited about this as he will obviously be ending the struggle of doing nights, and he will be able to interact with people daily rather than being in a big noisy factory with ear defenders on! Also he will be the 'road bike specialist' there, selling the top end bikes that he so loves. Unfortunately he also gets everything at cost so I will have to keep a close eye that no bike shaped objects come home in his ruck-sac!!! This will be the start of a whole new adventure, especially as running his own bike shop is something he's thought about over the years.
Secondly, my clever husband came third in the Portsmouth road race last Sunday. This is his best result yet and he was the best in his category, affording him promotion into the next group up - category 3! He was only a second behind the leaders, one of which had only the day before, set the national record for time trialling. So he was presented with his prize money in a little village hall and came home a happy man.
Also the house finally seems to be going through and we hope to have a completion date soon. It has been a very long journey but God has been incredibly gracious in it all and blessed us very richly! We will move in to Si's mum and dad's place for a bit until we decide where we want to live and how life pans out for us in the South!
