Why does it always rain on me?

I've taken a week off work. I wanted to have a bit of time with Jennie and Naomi and I wanted to be not working for my birthday.

We spent a few days at the start of the week visiting Jennie's family in Haltwhistle. On Monday, we woke and it was gloriously sunny. The plan was to go for a walk; fresh air, sunshine, do you good, that sort of thing. We bundled Naomi up, and drove to Hadrian's wall. As we got out of the car, we felt a few drops of light rain and thought nothing of it. We spent 15 minutes in the hail, before running back to the car. Of course, by the time we got back to Haltwhistle, which was about 10 minutes drive, the sun was out again.

Yesterday, it was nice and sunny. We had some shopping to do, so we decided to walk into town to pick some stuff up. The picture says it all really.

Sadly, the weather pictured killed our camera. I'm pretty certain it isn't going to recover, so don't expect many pictures until it is replaced.

Some happy news. Naomi took her first meal by bottle today. This means I got to feed her. If you've never fed your own child, you won't know how special that is. It's special.
