Come Dine With Me

Sophie’s school is holding an event for parents this morning. We are all invited to lunch and the kids are playing waiters. Lovely healthy lunch of carrot sticks and buns!

Lolly

Very nice surprise this afternoon. Mum and Dad turned up on my doorstep to stay with us until Tuesday so my good lady wife can take me away to the lake district for a couple of nights. The occasion? My 40th on Tuesday. Let this be the last time we mention it….
Here is a nice pic of Lauren just because she’s more photogenic than me!

The Newtons

Here are a selection of photos from Tom and Amy’s wedding on Friday 25 Sept. A really nice day, and a great location. The party still seems to be going on through Sunday as far as I can see but us oldies had to duck out on Friday night! Congratulations guys! Click on the photo below for more from the set.

Newby Hall

We visited Newby Hall at the weekend with Amber, Phil and family. Wonderful place. Didn’t even see the “hall”, but the kids adventure area has a great mini train/giant trainset (depending on your perspective). Worth going to see.

A visitor from Ireland

Angela O’Neill paid us a visit, in preparation for forthcoming grannyhood. Ronan – the kids gave her a test run and we can confirm that she is absolutely ready for February 2010. Thanks for coming Angela, it was really nice having you to visit. I’m obviously going native, because when Angela handed over a bag and said she’d brought pudding I immediately thought of a nice sweet treat after dinner! Opened the freezer bag to find a fine pair of Clonakilty Black and White puddings, and thought I’m a long time away from home!
