Christmas in Somerset was lovely - we went to visit Bob and Brenda (Sarah's folks) and on boxing day went walking. The little girl in the last couple of photos is Jasmin - a great friend of the boys from Street and something of a tomboy!

There are some nice photos in our end of year newsletter

James's school play was very good - lots of music.

Saturday Music School Concert - Joe and Dan were both performing and it was really good! Dan played drums, keyboards and sang and Joe sang and played samba. I was very proud!

Mum's Graduation from Birmingham University.

Daniel's school play.

We went to visit our old collage chum Lucy - we'd not seen her for fifteen years and it was great to catch up, meet Kevin (her husband) and their three children - Daniel, Simon & Ian - see the pictures here.
Some are taken on my 'phone and so aren't great quality.

Joseph went back to scgool but only after spending a week in Somerset.

Onn Min's birthday walk in The Chiltens was a tad late but we had a nice time all the same!

The early 70's in Pakistan - I'm seven and my sister Heather is five - I don't know if this pictures in in Lahore or Islamabad - I'll ask Mum and Dad (who are looking suitably groovy!).

Climbing The Wrekin - since we did the Tor we felt we had to climb a hill in Telford as well!

Acton Scott Farm in Telford.
More details

Glastonbury Tor - we climbed to the top with all three boys - it was windy!

Dan's birthday at Legoland in Windsor.

Our friends Rowan and Sophie got married today! See the pics here.

Saturday Music School had it's end of term concert today - Joe played, percussion and sang and Dan sang, played keyboard and drums.

School Sports Day - see Daniel running and talking at the same time!

Dan's first gig! as well as Joe doing Scaltectrix.

Regent's Park Zoo was where James's class went - with Sarah as a helper!

The kids had a teacher training day, Phil took a day off work and we went to the Tower of London.

Book Week was when James was Mr Wolf, Dan was Count Olaf and Joe was Uncle Monty (if you don't recognise those last two they are from Lemony Snicket's books).

The Design Museum here in London is great! Joe and his best friend Matthew have been a few times and constructed house designs, made a magazine cover, and last week did a ten second animation using construction paper (it's how South Park started!) - you can download the clips (you may need the DivX codec if they won't play on your computer). Joe's Animation and Matthew's movie.

Dan took part in a research project concerned with neuroscience and learning - here is his certificate. Also, a picture here, and James got in on the act here.

We've been having building work done recently, here are some pictures of the house.
