Playing in the park

Last Saturday we went to the park in Wycombe to play, some photos and a video have been uploaded to the "December 2009" album on the left of the blog...

It's snowing in Marlow

Woohoo, the first snow of the winter is falling. It doesn't look like the kind that will last very long, but that might be famous last words. The ironic thing is I'm listening to the South Africa v England Test Match on the radio. Cricket, snow, Christmas approaching.. wierd!

Nativity Play 2009

It's that time of year again! Lara's theme this year is Santa, after being a snowflake last year. She seemed to really enjoy joining in with the singing and clapping, and didn't come rushing over when she saw me or Olga (it brought a lump to my throat when she saw me and climbed to her knees shouting "Paa-paa! Paa-paa!" and waving at me!).
Here are some photos, and one from last year for comparison :-)

And.. we're back

Just a quick one, seeing as it's midnight on Saturday. We had a lovely time, the weather was poor to start with but improved a lot when it mattered. I've narrowed down the photo & video collection to a mere 100 items, which will be uploaded soon enough, I'm trying to edit the videos together into one rather than uploading a dozen to YouTube.
As a taster, here are 8 photos, two each from Tuesday to Friday. It was after dark when we arrived on Monday, and having driven most of the way in heavy rain (with a very welcome stop to see Catherine, Elizabeth and William - he's gorgeous, and soooooo light!!) I was too tired to dig out the cameras. Phew, I bet you're thinking...

Off on holiday!

We're off down to Devon today, to stay at the "eco-cottage" we stayed at last year.  We'll be there until Friday, and are going to pop in on Catherine and new arrival William on the way down.
There's no internet in the cottage, although I'll try to sneak the odd blog post via my PDA.
Photos galore next week though!
