Back to Blogging

It's been a while since our last post. We have both been busy, socially and with work and we don't know why Pete finds it so difficult to find the time to do a Blog entry once a week - he just does. Work doesn't help and travel for work limits time at home, but there should be an hour a week when Pete could get to it! The time to load and re-size images has a lot to do with it and then there always the weeks when there are no images to upload and the Blog looks so bare. Pete's study is now up and running and he has access to his PCs all at the one desk so this should make things easier.

As you can see from the pictures we have had some spectacular sunsets over the past few weeks and Pete has been busy snapping away with both cameras. These images are straight off the camera with no enhancement so you can see we have had some intense views across the fields to the horizon. The weather's not been bad either and opportunities to get out have been good. This last week has been great, as the evenings have been long and warm and sunny - a shame the rain has set in for a couple of days, but the gardens need it.

Since our last Blog we have been back to Essex for some sad events. A couple of people we have known have died recently and and we've also had a fire at our son's house where his sister is staying while he's away in Australia. A chip pan caught fire and has caused damage to the kitchen, but smoke has permeated the whole house. It's with the insurers, but it is taking a time to resolve and they can't live there until it's done.

We have also had visitors too. Julie's parents have been down and so has daughter Gemma and her partner Callum. Julie's brother and his wife,their daughter Mandy and her friend Fay have also been down to try on their dresses for the wedding and we have been out to flower wholesalers looking for the bridal flowers, as Julie will be putting them together.

That's the catch up in brief - we will try harder to keep the Blog entries coming. It's good for us as a diary of events and good for family and friends to keep up with what we are doing.
