    Yes it is quite shocking.
    Nice to see you KC and Squirrel.

    I have washed everything in sight again and inspired by a trip to a veggie restaurant on holiday, experimented with baking eggs.

    Love baked eggs and peppers.

    Trip sounds fab. How lovely to get away just the two of you.

    Glad you had a lovely trip - I think I missed that it was just the 2 of you - even better :) (all relationships benefit from a bit of quality time!)

    Bu**er about the power cut :(

    I think it did our relationship good, after ten years together.

    DH was very much his best self, displaying his best manners and so on. Weird, hey?

    The 'rents are now planning to take them to France!

    Today we really ought to cut the hedge, clear out the tack room, tidy up.
    Whatever we end up doing it will be a long awaited NSD and stay at home day.

    Time together is so important, I'm hoping as ours get bigger the grandparents (well, my mum) will do something to let it happen!

    Barcelona sounds great, I think we will definitely do a day trip.
