Here are the photos captured of Christmas eve and day. Some of the highlights are the boys on their new bikes, including a bike ride with Mum and Dad, and general play and fun with Grandma and Gran. With children aged 7, 5 and 2 Christmas does not get much better than this! Happy Christmas! Dad

Take you for a ride....

Yesterday Matthew announced he had written a song and duly performed it for the video camera, accompanied by Angus. He said he wrote it in his head whilst riding his bike around the garden - presumably inspired by a combination of his new bike for Christmas and listening to AC/DC on his MP3 player....not bad for 7 I reckon (but I am biased!).

Merry Christmas from Dartmoor

On Sunday we joined friends Richard, Ellie, Sally, Simon, Lesley and mothers to make the best of the stunning high pressure and walked over the moor to Belstone for some lunch. Simon and I had fun taking some piccies (here they are - I got some nice ones of Helen) and the walk was punctuated by all those childhood classics of 'moaning and wanting a carry' followed by 'I want to get down', and lots of carrying of sticks - you know the kind of thing! The exercise and booze helped vent some pre-Christmas tension and today's pressie-fest also helped do that! More of that anon - meanwhile Merry Christmas!

Last Sunday was the last race of the south west cycle cross series and it has been something I have enjoyed very much this season. Thanks to all the organizers for all their hard work. Here are some photos courtesy of Simon Keitch

Robert Dorrington is 40 today


Happy Birthday my fast fingered bluesman of a cousin! Here's to great memories playing with you in 'The LowCats' in the early 90s. Sorry we cannot be with you today - have fun! Love Phil Anne, Matthew Angus and Helen.
