SNOW SNOW SNOW

We looked out of the window this morning and....it was snowing!!!Lisa's school and Havant College were both closed so it was Snowman time. Here's Karen and Lisa braving the cold...This is Mummy & Daddy (with the pink hat) Snowman (according to Lisa)....
The snow continued all day. This put paid to my knee operation at St Richards. The surgeon was stuck in the snow somewhere. Hopefully it'll be rescheduled in a week or so.

Yule Yomp II

Our big Christmas Walk. House to house with a drink and snack in each. We started at 11am at Paul & Debs and finished at Simon and Tory's about 10 hrs later. Click the map to make it bigger....Our house was stop number two. Simon, Geoff and Emma getting stuck into the Port and Pizza.
The kids trying out my drum kit. Luckily I had the silencers on.
Heading back to Emsworth from Westbourne. Down a very wet Lumley lane in the dark. Maybe welly boots next time.
Most of the gang outside Lumley House.
Back : Ellie, Debbie, Danny, Karen, Carolyne, Tory, George, Simon, Becks, Gus, Scholes, Emma, Chalkie, Paul. Front : Harvey, Travis, Joe (pram), Jack, Gus, Indy, Tom, Lily, Abi (pram), Lisa. Behind the camera : Clare.

Bonfire Party

It's Bonfire Birthday Party time again!!! We had a fantastic party with the traditional Monster Chilli, Bonfire and Fireworks. It was a great way to celebrate my 21st birthday (again!) Training some young pyromaniacs...
Lily is transfixed by the fire...
The fireworks were brilliant. Thanks to everyone for brining such a monster selection. Here's the Catherine Wheel finale. You can watch it on YouTube...
