There and back again - a developer's tale
Well, wow... What a busy couple of weeks we've had! At the end of February, we headed across to Alicante for the Carnival celebrations, as well as to see Lynsey & Kieran (and Bump). We could tell you more about Carnival, but instead we took a lot of photos - which probably explain the evening better! No sooner as we got back to Bristol, I was on the next train up to Liverpool for business.…
Name That Parrot!
We're still after suggestions for a name for our Parrot Letter Opener. My Mum suggested that we call him “Pollyâ€, (I thought she'd said “Hollyâ€), whilst Lisa said “Bertieâ€. Any other suggestions, please leave a…
Who's a Pretty Boy Then?
This is the letter-opener that I've been telling you all about! We bought this little fella at an antiques fair a couple of weeks ago with the Christmas money Lucy's granddad gave us (Thanks Michael). It's around 90 years-old!

The week-before-last, we took Danny, Alex and Jacob out for a walk around the fields of Claverham - which was nice and muddy! Then today, Emily, James and Thomas…

Christmas and New Year Recap - Part 1
The last 2 weeks have been a bit of blur - yes the amount of alcohol consumed would justify that, as well as traveling up-and-down between Bristol and Liverpool. Here's what we got up to over Christmas and New Year... On the Eve of Christmas Eve (or the 23rd to everyone else) we were invited to Lucy's Aunty Jane's house for a pre-Christmas lunch. All of Lucy's cousins (and husbands + kids) were there,…
