Leaving on a Jet Plane

But I do know when I'll be back - after five glorious weeks!

Just a quick post - nearly all the jobs on the list are done. I need to redo my nails this arv and that will be me.

Both Bloss and I are starting to get really excited. Have also made some plans for when we're in Scotland. Much of our time will be spent with family and catching up with old friends and extended family - however my sister and brother in law and us two are sneaking away for one night together. I've never been to the Lake District and have heard so much about it's beauty. I know we won't get to see very much but if we get away early in the morning we'll be there by lunch time and so have the whole afternoon and pretty much most of the next day and we'll head home late afternoon. My sister has got us a good deal and has already booked a night in this lovely looking spot

Netherwood Hotel, Grange on Sands

Plans are also afoot for a blogger meeting - I'm planning to catch up with these two ladies Isabelle and Shauna, so will keep you posted about that. Would also have loved to catch up with this one - Lainey but would you believe - the two weeks I'm in Scotland, she's taking herself off to Brazil!

Ok that's all for now - might get back to you tomorrow from somewhere on our travels.

Take care

It's been a busy couple of weeks - especially at work - we've got a lot on so it was nose to the grindstone right up to the last gasp. Yesterday we went to watch Josh's last game of footy for the year and then went for lunch to the Coffee Club and bumped into this lovely lady. I actually met Carolyn briefly in the real world before blogland. We attended the same gym at one stage then it closed and I think I saw her one more time around town and then by one of those serendipitous chances I clicked a link one day and there was her blog. So for the last 12 months or so we've only connected through blogland. But it was lovely to have a catch up especially as she's leaving town and heading for Darwin - actually starts her new job up there the same day we leave for Frankfurt.

And now a few photos

My sons both have this habit of pulling faces when confronted with a camera!

Josh - a mouthful of teeth coming and going!

Ok guys that it for now - as I said I'll be taking my laptop with me so will try to pop on as often as I can and provide you with titillating tales of our travels!! Try saying that with a couple of chardonnays under your belt!!

Take care
