Our Summer Holiday was in Verwood, Dorset, on the edge of the New Forest.
We had a good time, living in our new tent, going to the beach, seeing the Tank Museum, catching crabs and cycling. It's nice to be back in proper beds but it was good fun living outdoors.

GNC Camp was a chance for us to try out the new tent - Phil had to return to London after the weekend to work but Sarah kept it all in order and packed up the tent and all the bits herself. Dan played in the youth band and everyone had a good time (except Phil who was Mr Lonely!).

The week after Easter - Phil took time off and we did a few things - went walking with Frances and Matthew at Kenwood on Good Friday. We also went to Somerset to visit Bob and Brenda (Sarah's folks).

I also shot some video of the boys cycling on my 'phone - it's not great quality, but get it as a DivX file here.

Thorpe Park, Easter 2005 was a bit of a treat for Joe and Matthew (both turned 12) - Peter and Philip came over from Chorley Wood as well as Ashwin and Mark - fun day (but cold and rainy!).

Some photos from March - at the start of the month we had snow and today it is warm enough to go cycling in t-shirts! You can also see how much grey hair Phil has after a visit to the barber's! Joe's birthday was at the start of the month - bad quality is down to them all being taken on my 'phone.

Saturday, February 19, 2005

Visit to the London Eye with our friends Kevin & Lucy (and their three boys!) - lots of fun! Kevin took a load of pics as well as a few from Joe's camera.
