It's been a while...

Ok, so I've been a bit lax in uploading photos! But here we are now, the tail end of August, all of September (not that there were many) and October to date. Since I've last updated, Angus' curls have gone, as you'll see. And my bump is growing. Oh and we know the gender of my bump too :) We've just returned from a long weekend in Paris, which included Julie's third birthday celebrations.

More updates

Just a quick note to let you know that I've also updated with photos from July now in my gallery as well.

It's carnival week again

First of all apologies on being so slow on my updates here. We've been so busy since we came back from Australia! I'm finally getting a chance to post an update thanks to being home sick with a bad cold! It's the middle of carnival week here, and although the weather has been less-than-perfect (apart from Sunday, when the picture above was taken), it's still been a lot of fun. For the first time we managed to go to the blessing of the wells on Sunday, and on Monday Angus had a great time at the duck race and street fair (I was too busy being led from stall to stall to take any pictures there). Last night was grey and drizzly for the fell race, so we stayed in. Tonight there's a treasure hunt that Peter and Angus might participate in (I feel too sick). Pictures so far are in this album.

Home again

Well we're home and settled again. We had a great time in Australia, and it was great to catch up with so many people, but there was so little time that we didn't spend enough time with most of the people we did see, and even worse there were so many others that we didn't manage to catch up with. I've uploaded the pictures from our trip both to my mac account (via the link to the right) and also to Flickr. I've put them on Flickr as well because it appears that some people are unable to load the mac photo gallery thing. To use Flickr you'll need a Yahoo account, and to access my photos you'll need me to accept you as friend/family - just go to www.flickr.com and get yourself an account, then search for me (happyLV is my username) and there should be an option to contact me.

Looking forward to our trip to Aus

We're counting down the days until our trip now.  We arrive in Melbourne in the early hours of the 25th of May, then fly to Adelaide on the 28th.  Angus and I fly back to Melbourne on the 2nd of June, and Peter follows us on the 5th.  We leave on the afternoon of the 14th.  Looking forward to catching up with people; it's going to be a busy time!

Happy Easter!

I decided to have a go at making my own hot cross buns this year, figuring it wouldn't be too hard given that I make bread nearly every week anyway.  It wasn't, and it was well worth the effort, as the buns are delicious: nice and fruity and spicy.

Tomorrow we have a little egg hunt planned; we'll see how that goes (and the concept of sharing the loot!).

Busy busy busy

Well, I messed up with my backups, forgetting to include the blog I was using in the schedule.  So when my computer got messed up, I had the published version still there, but no way to add to it.  And I've been to busy to work out if I can redeem it, so instead I've decided to publish here instead.  Photos will still be published on the mac thingy, accessible here (slightly different format, but same username and password as before).
