In 2009, for many reasons that we wont go into here, we took the family decision that it was high time that we had our next big adventure. Its taken a year to sort out but finally, on April 11th 2010, we leave Blighty and family and freinds for a new life in New Zealand. This blog is for us to keep telling our story to those we leave behind and for those we leave behind to know that we miss them and they are in our thoughts.

Barneys birthday



Wow, Barney has turned 13! Happy Birthday Barney.




He celebrated by having a few mates over for the usual boys running around screaming hitting stuff and drinking as much fizzy pop as you could get down you without throwing up and running around screaming hitting stuff some more. Only this year was a bit different, it was outside in the sunshine rather than in a victorian terraced house in winter. Jenn and Sean didn't need a rest and a packet of Ibuprofen after this one. Cupcake icing competition, where we discovered exactly how much buttercream icing you can put on a cupcake before it falls over, war game, trampolining and the mummy game. Great fun.

Barney did well in the pressie department. He got a camera from Sean, Jenn and Jack, an Ipod from the Davidsons next door and Grandad flew by and gave him $50 before disappearing off to someone elses party. He also got a whole bunch of pencils and paper from his mates, including some much coveted charcoal pencils. He's been scribbling away ever since. And says its been the best birthday ever thanks.
