Moving out!

We have moved out of the old house and are lodging with parents while we put the finishing touches on Sunnyside. Jennifer was in her element, eating as much newspaper as she could get her hands on.

Jennifer's baptism 12th October 2008

Almost there...

We are so close now. We are delighted with our bathroom which has now been tiled. All that remains is for the plumber to come back next week and finish off.

We hired a floor sander today and despite the fact that some of the floor boards are quite badly worm eaten, the result was pretty good.

It's official - Jennifer is on the move.

Happy Birthday Auntie Hannah

We have had a lovely week with the northern Burgess crew. Today we celebrated Auntie Hannah's birthday with a day out at Penshurst Place.














Adventure playground for the small people and beautiful gardens for the not so small, and weather to please everyone.

"You can keep the costa brava and all that palava, I'd rather have a day down Dymchurch with all my family..."

Today we went on a big adventure. After a hearty meal of fish and chips we went for a steam train ride on the Romney Hythe and Dymchurch light railway. What a treat!


We alighted at Dymchurch and headed straight for the tacky amusements which is an essential part of any child's upbringing.



Buckets and spades were bought and off we went to the seafront. We paddled in the sea, played sandcastles, collected stones and shells, and had a throughly wonderful time.

Jennifer finally gave in to sleep after the excitement of the train ride.

The Edwards family

We had a lovely day at auntie june's with most of the Edwards family. Absent Edwardses were not forgotten - wish you could have been with us Jill and co and Nikky, but here is a funny snippet from Saturday.
