So the day got off to a good start – I had to rescue 👨🏻twice, as he got on the wrong minibus, twice. Not a good sign on day 4 of the holiday, especially as I thought that I’d not been misbehaving too much. I hadn’t intended to write a post tonight, but the thoughts […]
happy
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 “health checks” before passport control – better than nothing, and neither of us were too warm so we were allowed into the country. However, we […]
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 […]

Whilst their Wedding Anniversary is Jan 1st we started on New Year’s Eve, celebrating with Family Y (who?) Despite their advancing years Mum and Dad trounced us young uns at “smart mouth” and charades. […]
Israel
Steven, Rachel and myself set off for Israel for a fortnight on the 12th July, leaving the boys in charge at home! We managed to keep tabs on them, ish, due to apple facetime and free wifi in the flat. Thankfully it rained so the garden was ok apart from the hanging baskets. To see […]
David’s 17th Birthday
Gosh, its nearly a year since I posted last – sorry about that! David is now 17 and to celebrate the puppy went sledging in the morning with Family Y (younger elements of). Then he came back for the cake that his sister rescued after his Mother decided to take it out of the tin […]
Rachel’s Batmitzvah

To see the photos click on one below to enlarge and then scroll through them. Fabouous weekend, something very different and very special. The speeches are below – Jonathan and David’s […]
