So the day got off to a good start – I had to rescue đ¨đťtwice, as he got on the wrong minibus, twice. Not a good sign on day 4 of the holiday, especially as I thought that Iâd not been misbehaving too much. I hadnât intended to write a post tonight, but the thoughts […]
fun
Just mooching around in The Mother City, The Big Table and the man jumps . . .
After a few hours in the lounge at Heathrow, and too much free alcohol, we slept, and presumably snored, our way to Cape Town. Great flight! Pleased to see the âhealth checksâ before passport control – better than nothing, and neither of us were too warm so we were allowed into the country. However, we […]
LJOY Purim Beach Party
So it was the end of February and it had been trying to snow all day – its obvious, lets have a Beach Party! This was the theme of the LJOY Purim event – 60 kids dressed in beach theme (but then I guess its normal for their age to be wearing shorts and T-shirts […]
They’ve all flown the nest . . . . now it’s our turn!
So our children are all grown up and have had or are on their own holidays – without us now. I don’t know whether to be happy or sad! However it has meant that after 23 years Steven and I can go away as a couple again for more than just a few days, for […]
Summer 2011 – photobook at last
What can I say – We fly on this year’s holiday in 3 weeks so I thought it was about time I finished the photo book from last year. The tortoise has crossed the line and awaits her trophy in the post! In the meantime you can see the book below. To see what we […]
Oh what a night . . . and a New Year as well!
It’s great playing games with friends, but we wanted to do something really different this New Year’s Eve – total humiliation for all of us! We decided to do a murder mystery evening. I have to say it was hard work preparing for it, but I think it went really well. Really easy to do, courtesy […]
Keswick and David’s 18th – Families I and Y!
Taken a few weeks but I have finally put up something about our Keswick trip. We set off cars fully laden, in the morning of the 24th December, David’s 18th, to spend 5 days in a cottage in Keswick with our good friends, Family Y. We had the most amazing time and amazingly are still […]
Fun in the snow
Well here are three young men, two of which have the day off from school because of the weather. They could either (a) use their time to revise for their modules next week – after all they want to go to Veterinary and Medical School or (b) mess about in the snow! Click below on […]
Frozen at Bolton Abbey
Families Y and I went off to Bolton Abbey with picnics and thermals, well it only said -3.5 â on the thermometers! To say we were frozen was an understatement. Just to show how bright some of us were (i.e me) we sat down on the rocks at the Strid to eat. Certain parts of […]
Ayesgarth Falls on a sunny Bank Holiday weekend
With Jonathan working, the four of us went off in search of a ‘teashop walk” – Steven’s new book, easy walks in Yorkshire with a teashop somewhere on the walk. Well the overweight, ancient ones set the pace and at stage 5 out of 14 the children begged for mercy and we stopped. What wimps! […]
