Welcome Micah


Here's the new wee guy - hard to believe he's a month already and yet, hard to remember a time when he wasn't part of the family. Big sister is adjusting great.

Malta - March 2013

Only taken three months to post a few pictures of our holiday to Malta - last trip before the baby comes! What a great place for a holiday - though we arrived on general election day and it seemed like the whole country took to the streets for a couple of days to mark, in one way or the other, the victory of the Labour party after many years out of power. The wee flat we were staying in was across the road from the site of the big outdoor victory party, so it was all a bit surreal for a while there. But once it calmed down, we had a fantastic time exploring the islands, food and just chilling out. Lucy proved herself to be a great traveller for the most part and loved the local pastries.

Days out - spring 2013


Glad to have lots of lovely visitors this spring - Iain Johnson, James and Nalini, David Johnson and Chris' Aussie cousins Ben and May Seligmann. Great excuses for getting out and about ourselves - here to Castle Ward and Ulster American Folk Park.



Sharing an ice cream with mummy... and a little tree climbing with daddy. 




Spent a lovely day at the Ulster American Folk Park in May - dodging the showers and 600 Brownies who were there for a fun day. Lucy wasn't too sure about the chickens, but liked the Campbell House (below, with Granny).

May beach day

Great day at the beach at Benone - and many happy memories of growing up and messing about in the sea and sand.



Lucy and her wee friends weren't deterred by the water temperature (Baltic) so no choice for the parents but to get stuck in too. Many sleepy, sandy children by the time we headed for home.
