In between all the building work, we are occasionally reminded of other large events coming up this year. Julie is now at 16 weeks and beginning to show. As promised, here is the first picture of the bump, for comparison with the lithe figure pictured in an earlier post.
We’re not yet into maternity [...]
The new kitchen was delivered on Wednesday (Tom worked from home for the occasion). And suddenly we had a LOT less free space in what had been an extremely vacant kitchen.
It certainly appears that the builders will have their work cut out for them putting this lot of fancy kit together!
(They’ve been getting on with [...]
After a chilly night where it was measuring -2°C out the back before bedtime, we woke to find the outdoors transformed into a wonderland of winter whiteness and delicacy!
Only an inch fell apparently (more coming tonight), but enough to make everything look pretty for a while, and disrupt all the trains…
We had our builders round yesterday to make some final notes on the plans we’d given them for our new kitchen. It had been so long since we set the starting date that we’d forgotten that today (Monday) was the day it was all due to kick off!
So the rest of Sunday [...]

We’ve had an amazing number of responses to the group mail and blog article with our exciting news. It’s been great to have all your notes of congratulations and good wishes — thanks for all the support, it really means a lot to us.

(I’d been keen to see it ever since I read a fascinating DIVE magazine article about the filming of one of the sequences and how they’d almost had a fatality when a diver’s specialised scuba equipment [...]
Now the news is out, I can mention one of my Christmas presents from Julie. It was a “Nerdy Baby ABC” set of alphabet flashcards, the brainchild of Tiffany Ard.
Head on over here to take a look at the full set. This child doesn’t know what it’s getting into.
Allow me to take you back to Wednesday 15 November, when the white plastic gadget showed a little blue cross instead of a little blue line.
Well of course we immediately grabbed the camera to record the momentous occasion.
And got a shot of Julie’s waist for later comparison.
Yes, finally, years after you all stopped asking, Julie [...]
