Good news this week as we finally sold our house. Problem is the buyers are expecting a baby so need to move in sharpish, so we’re now on a manic house hunt mission to find and secure our next home. 7 viewings this weekend, off we go! Where we’d be without the Internet I do [...]

Congratulations to Giles and Ruth on their recent wedding. A great day with the reception in the awesome grounds of Harlaxton Manor. Below is a small selection of some of the photos from the day.

I’ve stitched together 3 photos to create a panoramic image of the whole wall from the ‘My Dad’s on Twitter..’ event last week. The main image is shown below, and available to download as a large image from the link, then there are some smaller, close-up shots and below a few key points raised on [...]

A storming finish to the 24 hour scalextric race organised by the excellent Stan’s Cafe. Some photos shown below.

The illustrated wall is going to be left up for the next week or so and we will be [...]

This short video has been hacked together quickly in iMovie from some MPEGS from the Canon G9 camera whilst on holiday last week. One of the clips is Elliot dancing to a spanish musical duo outside a restaurant one evening in his jim-jams by the marina. The other clips are from the hotel’s children’s disco, [...]
