Very much a weekend in the village, the girls went to the allotment barbie on Saturday and today we went to the fun day on the Millennium green. We had a picnic and Emma enjoyed having donkey ride, her face painted and decorating cakes. Continue reading

Really like this track “Within the Rose”. A chilled out video with a really clever animation. To date they have only released one EP “To the North”. It includes “within the rose” and “I will remain” is another good track. Continue reading

At Emma’s request K & I put our wedding outfits on tonight. My suit fitted fine, although K said “theres a bit of muffin sticking out the top!” How cheeky! K got in hers although it was a bit of a squash and a squeeze! 🙂 Continue reading

Emma and I had a great fun packed week in Swindon with the Caples. We caught the train over, which was much nicer than going by car.  we were off all over the place, Mini Gym, butterfly farm, Savernack woods for picnic in the camper. Emma had her first attempt at ice skating and only… Continue reading

Had a fantastic day out at Hampstead Heath today. Its been an ambition of mine for some time to climb Parliament Hill and see the view of the city and today we finally did it. We had a lovely walk on the Parliament Hill fields, fed the ducks and then we headed down to the… Continue reading

Had a lovely weekend camping in West Runton up in Norfolk. The site was really good, not too far from the beach and the weather was gorgeous. Sunday we spent hanging out on the beach on on Monday we went to Bewilderwood. We all had an amazing time the slides and zip wires were really… Continue reading

It got off to a bit of a rocky start. While I was loading my van up on Saturday I whacked my head on the catch for the rear doors which caused quite a large gash in my head and a trip upto Casualty to be glued up.  As a result of that I had… Continue reading

It was K’s birthday this weekend so we all headed down to Kew gardens for the day. The weather was gorgeous and we had a great time (if a little scary) on the Treetop Walkway which is a 200 mtr walkway 18 mtrs up among the treetops. Its really cool, but it does wobble! The… Continue reading

We did a car boot a couple of weeks ago, It was freezing and we only made about £40 so we were pretty grumpy particuarly after getting up early on a Sunday! However, we did get Emma a bike for £15, shes proper chuffed with it, she likes sitting on it and being pushed but… Continue reading

I have been a fan of Muse since “Absolution” which came out in 2003. Ever since then I have wanted to see them live but have never been able to go. So it was a real treat to watch them play Glastonbury, they were absolutely amazing. I knew Matt Bellamy was a fantastic guitar player… Continue reading

Booked a little weekend away for K and I up  in Norfolk over my birthday. We went there last year and it was a lovely place to chill out. We’ve also booked a campsite  up near Cromer for a long weekend in a couple of weeks. While we’re up there we thought we would take… Continue reading

Is the new movie by Sofia Coppola, I know K will be dying to see this as she must have watched “Lost in Translation” about 10 times now “Writer/director Sofia Coppola reunites with the film company with which she made the Academy Award-winning hit “Lost in Translation.” Her new film is an intimate story set… Continue reading

Had an amazing night at Thetford Forest last night.  It was a whole new experience to see a band in a forest, it was extremely well organised. It made such a change to drive through trees to a gig rather than some tatty part of London! We met up with some friends and we even… Continue reading

Really like the look of this new sci-fi film by Christopher Nolan starring Leonardo DiCaprio. Dom Cobb (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a skilled thief in the art of “extraction,” stealing secrets from deep within the subconscious during the dream state, when the mind is at its most vulnerable. Cobb’s rare ability has made him valuable in… Continue reading

“I tell you, this bloke was so fat that he beeped if he walked backwards” Continue reading

Finally got round to building the deck in front of the summerhouse. The area didn’t look that big when I started but now the deck is down the space feels huge. Should be finished over the next few days. Continue reading

Last weekend dad and I went to see England play the Barbarians at Twickenham. It was a right good day out, neither of us had been before and it was great to see the stadium. England dominated the first half but in the second half the Barbarians pulled it back and it was a pretty… Continue reading
