wow! i have been so pathetic at blogging recently that I dont know where to begin. We have been so insanely busy, but it never seems to end. We went from camp, to moving house, to holiday, to starting school, to chagim, to our trip to the uk, to lots of work to catch up on & Grandpa jack's visit. Now we have a couple of weeks to catch our breath and then Grandma Dianne & Stuart will be here! It's all been amazingly exciting!

Our trip to England was just wonderful - Hannah & Yngve's wedding was a total dream, we couldnt have imagined a more perfect wedding if we tried. The kids had the MOST amazing time and danced until midnight. Millie still keeps bursting out into "celebrate good times COME ON!"



In London, the kids got to catch up with their beloved 1st cousins Charlotte & Jessica, and spend a glorious whole day & a half just playing together, bouncing on the trampoline, bathing together & best of all - sleeping over...

Great George Bernard Shaw poem I discovered this evening whilst on the bus listening to a Chris Evans podcast..

A Dreadful Language

I take it you already know
Of tough and bough and cough and dough
Others may stumble, but not you,
On hiccough, thorough, tough and through;
Well done! And how you wish perhaps
To learn of less familiar traps?
Beware of heard, a dreadful word
That looks like beard and sounds like bird.
And dead; it's said like bed, not bead
For goodness sake don't call it "deed".
Watch out for meat and great and threat
(They rhyme with suite and straight and debt)
A moth is not a moth in mother,
Nor both in bother, broth in brother.
And here is not a match for there
Nor dear and fear for bear and pear.
And then there's dose and rose and lose
Just look them up and goose and choose,
And cork and work and word and sword,
And do and go and thwart and cart.
Come, come I've hardly made a start.
A dreadful language? Man alive
I mastered it when I was five.

Do you get the feeling that I am quite busy?!!!
Ever since the kids have started school, I have been meaning to blog but it just aint happening.
I wanted to take 5 seconds to tell you all about this triathalon an old school friend of mine is taking part in. Just click on the donate link to read all about it.
