This week has been full of work and play in equal measure. Monday was a lazy day, before a lovely roast dinner with Georgina and Jay. Tuesday, and a trip to work, busy with lots of walking. A trip to Bill’s and the cinema provided a catch up and plans for July. Wednesday and workContinue reading “Half term and 5/12 of 2018”

The Best Man
We awoke to another beautiful sunny day and to the sound of messages pinging introducing the newest member of the family: Vincent, a whippet, staffy cross with one ear ( a story for another day). Andrew and Lis have a dog We had breakfast then drove over to Georgina and Jay’s, after Kevin’s usual pontificatingContinue reading “The Best Man”
Home sweet home
The last two weeks have been a whirlwind with so much going on and today sees a return to normality -sort of: a new normal? After a delightful outdoor meal last night where we all froze, this morning meant hugs and goodbyes to Andrew and Lis. Always hard but we’ve been so fortunate to seeContinue reading “Home sweet home”
A Day for all to celebrate
Woke up this morning to the news that another Royal baby was on their way, which was lovely as we were celebrating our own princess’s one! I can’t believe that Georgina is 24! Presents were opened, cards read and then we got ready for a little trip to London. The boys had arranged a goContinue reading “A Day for all to celebrate”
A London Wedding
Now this is a strange one: I’m blogging about a place I’ve not been to, with some people I have rarely met, but hopefully they can look on this as my wedding gift! Andrew and Lis primarily came over this month as Russ and Steph were getting married (spending time with us has been aContinue reading “A London Wedding”
A wonderful day!
What a wonderful day today has been, cousins, sisters, parents, brothers, friends and just everyone who came today! I cannot express my joy today which more than once overwhelmed me! It was amazing, the joy was palpable and I just loved it! Life is made for moments like this and everything was tip top! SomeContinue reading “A wonderful day!”
Where is this year going🤗
Can’t believe that there is less than a week left in March, and next week is Easter! Whilst I have a few things booked over the coming months, we haven’t booked a holiday and Kevin is being very reluctant about his 60th birthday celebrations🤔 So I guess I will just get something sorted! I haveContinue reading “Where is this year going🤗”
The first of three weddings in 2018
Yesterday we attended the first of three weddings we have in 2018. Kevin and I made our way to Royston and checked into our hotel to change into our finery! I took three outfits and two pair of tights, both which ran as soon as I carefully put them on, resulting in a bare leggedContinue reading “The first of three weddings in 2018”
January-sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me….
2018 has been momentous so far, and January has seemed very long, but February has settled in nicely and hopefully Spring is around the corner! The last ten days have been very busy at work and there hasn’t been much time to do much. Last year at this time we were preparing to go toContinue reading “January-sick and tired you’ve been hanging on me….”
2018 so far
The year is only 14 days old and it has brought surprises aplenty and excitement too! A visit to reacquaint my parents with Marion, my second mother in law, after, we guess, 8 1/2 years. Bouts of “Aussie” flu for me, Kevin and joe! The decorations came down last week and this past week hasContinue reading “2018 so far”
2017
This last year has been well documented by me, but I will post a few photos here too! As is the way, there has been highs (many) and lows (few), but that is life. How we cope with the lows is the important thing, with support of family and friends. Reading through my blogs forContinue reading “2017”
Photo Challenge 2017
Wow what a year! Engagements, big birthdays and anniversaries! I’ve visited some wonderful places, seen some amazing cricket and rugby. Met some fantastic people and had precious time with my family and friends! Just awesome, and with 3 weddings in 2018 and one to prepare for in 2019 possibly, I’m just so full of excitement!
Last meal at the Harbour Grill
We opted to eat in the hotel and as it was raining it was a wise decision. Food was delicious, company great and we toasted the holiday, and Colin’s upcoming big birthday next Sunday. We again found ourselves talking about our families, the joy the heartache but also immense pride! It has been awesome andContinue reading “Last meal at the Harbour Grill”
Part 4 Kowloon
We were taken back to central and caught the ferry back to Kowloon. This is on the blue route and our final bus ride of the day. More history more shops, more skyscrapers! Back to our hotel walking to get my daily quota in!
