Congratulations, and Jubilations...

Andrew has been over from NI with his wife, Louise. He, Adrian and me, with our respective wives (and children) were all at Dad's on Friday evening, when the doorbell rang. Dad went to answer, and came back saying, "Boys, I'd like you to meet somebody very important; this is my fiancee, Susan."

Needless to say we were stunned, we didn't even know he had somebody special around. Many congratulations to you both. We're really looking forward to getting to know Susan better.

Bicycle Race

Oops, just found this unpublished post from August!

Although Naomi can't ride a bike yet she is quite addicted to them. She gets quite impatient if Russell is riding his bike without her on it and whenever Russell, Sophie & Callum cycled off the field without her she burst into tears. After 2 weeks of eyeing up Anna's bike she finally got on it on the last day.




To top it off she got to have a go on Tim's moped.



Hot off the press, well hot compared to August but probably more luke warm. Naomi fits her own bike at last, though she has to ride it Steve Peat style.

What's New Pussycat

Debbie took us to Sophie & Callum's school's christmas fare on Saturday. While I vanished to feed Chloe she swapped Naomi for this:


It made strange noises whilst pointing at its nose. Mainly these sounded like neeme meow or neemeeow.

But don't worry, it vanished overnight and Naomi returned so panic over.
