Woah, I just checked the blog and realized that I hadn’t updated anything since last July! There is of course a good reason for that – our little bundle of joy, Charlie, arrived last December (5th) and has been the center of attention ever since (much to Maya’s annoyance;). At some stage I’ll put some…

A New Life
Quite literally! In the 3 months since I last updated, my whole life has changed (for the better I might add!). Actually writing this, I can’t believe it’s only been 3 months! First things first, we bought a house. Having decided to look for a slightly bigger place, so that I could have a proper,…
Cowboys on Skis
It’s been a while and following numerous complaints I thought I’d better update the blog – we’ve been very busy (4 sets of visitors) and active in the past 4 months hence the lack of updates despite plenty of content. Mainly we’ve been skiing – in fact, we’ve been up to Colorado three times in…

Lorna had made the accomodation arrangements, which were as usual excellently organised…. not!!!!! (Lorna just wrote that – the…

I Left My Heart in San Francisco
Sinatra wasn’t wrong when he crooned those words. Just back from a fantastic weekend in the city by the bay – wow, what a city! Probably one of the most enjoyable weekends in the history of the world, ever. Lorna already wants to move there It really was great weekend. We arrived late Friday evening…
A Very American Experience
Despite only arriving 24 hours previously Lorna dragged me (not literally) to my first Houston Astros baseball game. One of the consultants at the hospital had kindly donated his season tickets, so we had fantastic front row seats in the middle tier overlooking the diamond (I think that’s what it’s called anyway) at the impressive…
