For Kit's 30th Birthday a group of us went kayaking on Sunday. Much fun was had by all rowers, especially going down the wooden stairway in the canoe into the river - great fun but v. cold. Still as it was amazingly hot that day it was nice and refreshing. It was the first time I have done kayaking since I was at school and managed to stay in the boat - only Kit's brother, Bash, had the dubious please of flipping the boat not on purpose (Kit tried to do some eskimo rolls at the end of the session).

Saturday saw Jen's Birthday bash at Simon & Tash's. Lot's of people came as did the sun thankfully. A lovely relaxing Saturday afternoon and evening was had by all - and Izzy tried her first ice cream too!! The slightly older (i.e. those walking) had great fun in the paddling pool while lots of envious adults wished they had brought their cosies so they could go for a dip too. As soon as I have pilfered the photos from Simon I will try and get them uploaded into an album - but knowing both of us that might be a while :)

Saturday was Vanessa and Jake's wedding bash (they got married a week and a half ago). We had a really good time and Emily and Alisha seemed really excited to see each other and were pretty much inseparable for most of the evening. The do was in a big marquee in Vanessa's Mum and Dad's garden and they were kind enough to let us put Emily to bed in one of the bedrooms so Jen and I could party the night away - plus Paul was kind enough to drive us and pick us up so we could both drink.

Now that the website is up and running both Jen and Kris have already started updating the photo albums. More albums, and subsequently pics, will be appearing soon.

Well, it's here at last. I have finally got round to updating my website. It still isn't quite finished but I will finish all the other bits off soon and re-upload most of the albums that have disappeared. If you want to see the site in all it's glory you will have to use a different browser to Internet Explorer I'm afraid. The reason being that, although most people use it, it is rubbish compared to pretty much all other browsers and simply cannot do the more advanced features. To show the difference I have attached screen shots below - the first two are in Mozilla Firefox (though all modern browsers other than Internet Explorer will display the same) and the third and fourth are what you get stuck with if you are using Internet Explorer. Anyway, enough waffle - hope you like the new site :)
