Let's start this Family blog thing again . . .

Well, it has been quite a while since we last used this blog and we thought it about time that we made an effort to update our family website and using a blog is one of the simplest ways to do that.

We won't promise to post loads of stuff, just when we have something that is worth sharing with everyone.

2008 has been quite a momentous year, what with moving from our home for the best part of 10 years to a new one across the village, to Neil changing jobs, Jess moving about in hers and any other number of exciting events for the girls.

More as we get more up to speed.

Tuesday 9th Nov - Rochester

A night out somewhere in the darkness

Have just been out for a very convivial evening with three colleagues from the Redbook team - Luis Guirigay, a ridiculously young and vivacious Venezuelan, Colin, the bonkers English bloke, and David, a giant American with a great sense of humour.

We went to a bar somewhere in the darkness of Rochester with a range of fine ales. These include a couple of English ales that were far too cold to really taste and an Apricot Ale with fine fruity overtones. This went down very well and was very handy to help wash down some particularly fiery "Buffalo Wings" - quite where they came up with this name it beyond me as let's face it, buffaloes are amongst the least likely animals ot have wings.

Now listening to the Sound of the 70's on the Radio 2 web site -what a wonderful invention.

Really ought to get to bed as there's plenty to be doing tomorrow . . .

Good Clean fun 

The final picture for this evening - Three Bubbly Bathing Belles at the Felipe's house on the way back from Skiing earlier in the year. 

Spot the Skier Doodie Babe - taken earlier this year ascending the Corchevel Bubble Lift - watch out boys! 

Me and Jess in sunnier times, outside the Homer residence before they decamped to Oz
