Skiing video

I just finished editing this from March....somewhat out off season, but about 6 minutes of winter fun in France. Thought it would be good to get it done in time for another trip to France coming up next week.......

On his way

Yesterday was Angus's first sports day at South Tawton School. It was an idyllic summer scene in South Zeal and we were tinged with a little sadness that this is the last time we will do this here. Both boys performed well, with Angus getting 3rd in the sprint and 2nd in the egg and spoon race and Matthew winning the 400 m. Here are some images of the lovely day.......

And finally if you click here you will find a link to the birthday party shots that took place the following morning.......... The sweetie became overwhelmed at the singing happy birthday moment and froze - having to be helped by Mum to blow the candles out!

Happy Birthday Matthew

Matthew is 8 today - here are some pictures of the dude to start the festival of celebrations which will last the weekend! The link now includes pictures of the aftermath of the football birthday party at Meadowside in the sunshine on the 28th. Wow birthday parties for 8 year olds are manic things - we are shattered!

Carry on camping....

We just got back from a fantastic 2 nights in Cornwall with the Bol, Bell and Chadwick families. The weather was not ideal but we soldiered on and had great fun, with a camper van/tent commune, watching the Netherlands match supporting Roland and some hi jinks repairing tents in the middle of the night! A weekend of fun ended with a calm pint of Doom Bar overlooking the Doom Bar at New Polzeath - just when the sun came out. Pics here from me .....

A very happy father's day

Today I have had a joyful day with my family. I was spoiled with scrambled eggs in bed this morning courtesy of Matthew, after which we went to the seaside at Crackington Haven and played in the waves. The only slight downer is I dropped my camera in the surf so there are no images to show you - you'll have to believe me! What a lucky Dad I am!
