Jenson's big adventure

We're accumulating photos faster than we can post/distribute them!

We owe you photos of Euan and our wee family, photos from Poppy's birthday, and photos of our fantastic weekend in Herefordshire with the Collingwood lot (and their babies).

The quickest photos out of the camera, however, have been those documenting little Jenson's journey back to Shropshire. Jenson normally drives around in a tiny green car with baby Lucy, but got left behind in the Herefordshire countryside, so he had to find his own way home... Click below to see his story.

Beth and Patrick - the first couple of photos

It's taking a while to catch up on all our photos, but here are the first two from

Beth and Patrick's wedding on 1 May.

Adella!

A couple more photos here: our lunch last week with Tim, Eugenie and Adella.

Just back from a weekend of house-hunting and Sunday celebrating Poppy's 3rd birthday in Cambridgeshire

Popped in on Gav, Andrea, Jessie and Bump (just 6 weeks to go) on the way home.

Great weekend. Photos to follow!

Hug this hoodie...

May the 4th be with you

This video is a few days late for Star Wars Day ("May the 4th be with you"), but hey-ho. Click on the picture or the link above.

A couple more photos

We're still playing catch-up with the photos. The weather has been so nice recently that the outfits below have seldom been used. Euan prefers his stripey cardigan these days.

Kodak website is out of action today, so here are 4 new photos - more (as ever) to follow.

Have a good bank holiday, all!

Beth and Patrick get wed

Well, Tim has Thursday and Friday off work this week, using up his last two days' holiday as a Lovells employee.

On Thursday we're looking at houses again. On Friday we're visiting Adella and her mum and dad, Tim & Eugenie, in their new house.

On Saturday we have wedding of the year between Beth and Patrick. We're really looking forward to it and hope the dour weather reports for the Leamington area are wide of the mark. Euan will be the only baby there, so will be aiming to impress, and to gurgle and coo at inappropriate moments during the ceremony!

London 2012

Have you registered an interest in tickets for the olympics yet?

Visit the London 2012 website and plug in your details. Tickets go on sale in March 2011.

I'd love the chance to see any sports in the Olympic Stadium, pool or velodrome.

A walk in the country...

(I didn't take my camera this time....)

On Monday, Tim took a rare day off work.

After Euan and Jo returned from Tiny Tots Tunes, a snooze (him) and a sandwich (us), we headed off in search of the Ashridge Estate, just South of Whipsnade.

We'd been promised rain showers but had spent the weekend either entertaining (Seb, Rach and Jacob) or trawling the streets of Harpenden for houses we'd like to live in, so decided to take a risk and get out of town.

We had a lovely afternoon's walk through the trees with the trusty Howard buggy just about staying on all its wheels! The afternoon was topped off (as with any trip to a National Trust property) with a big slab of coffee and walnut cake.

Remind us to take you there. Tim wants to go back once the late bluebells emerge in the meadows. It's just 20 minutes from us (past the zoo - where you can see the wild bison roaming next to the road), so we can take you there in Spring, Summer or Autumn. There's no playground for the kids, but loads of space to explore and fallen trees to clamber on.
