Yesterday I was lucky enough to play on the stage of our local 'Chagstock' music festival with my friends in the blues rock band 'The Lost Mules'. It was great fun and jolly exciting. The family also camped over and we had loads of fun with the Hannafords and the Curnows, coming home this morning quite all funned out! Credit to Anne plus Clare, Richard and Liz Hannaford & Phil Le Grice for the photos - and a few I took from the stage.

A night out with The Mules
Last night Anne and I arranged a 'do' in the village hall to raise cash for the Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and it have me a jolly good excuse to indulge myself with my friends 'The Lost Mules'. A great night for all and Tom Bell took some corking shots here (thanks Tom).....

Happy 9th Birthday Matt
Today Matt turned 9 and we had a laid back morning at home, with Richard Hannaford also staying. Highlights include a CD player and a football net. The party was held last weekend and we must say it was the best yet - a trip to the climbing centre at Chudleigh with four mates and Angus to try abseiling, climbing and zipp wires. A great success. Lots of pictures here - where did those 9 years go? We have certainly moved on since the pirates party 5 years ago!

May and June highlights
Life seems to be getting busier and busier as our 3 grow up and we get ready for moving hopefully later this year. My frequency of updating this site has inevitably slipped (I notice blogging expert brother Dave has also had a lapse lately) and in part not helped by some computer problems - now overcome. So by means of a catch up here is a dump of a load of pictures from May and June in one set. Highlights include camping in Cornwall, a visit of Gran (first since last year), a week in the Lakes with visits from Uncle Campbell (see pic), seeing Sue and John Fox on Morecambe bay, Elisie's birthday (no pics sorry but Dave hhas blogged this), Silverdale and the Pepperpot, a visit to Grandma (no pics sorry) and an exciting visit to Louise and Alsitair's farm. Enjoy!

Tenth wedding celebrations in Paris
Last weekend Anne and I celebrated 10 years of marriage with two nights alone in Paris. It was amazing to be together alone and we had a great laugh and lots of romance. We walked and walked around and visited the Louvre and other iconic spots and had two fine meals out. The highlight was this moment, with a half carafe of white wine on a street corner. Lovely lovely. Thanks to my Mum and Dierdre and Isobel for babysitting the young ones - this is the first time we have been without them for more than one night! Lots of photographs here.....
