Saturday:
‘Hi babes. How’s England? Not too much snow?’
‘Nah, it’s fine. Only had a bit of delay in London, but I’m in Brighton now and everything’s fine.’
‘Did you have a good trip?’
‘Yes, it was super. Did you do anything nice today?’
‘Ah, just the shopping, and then took the kids through the car wash. Always a hoot.’
‘Yeah, they love that, don’t they? Are you taking it nice and easy then?’
‘Of course, sitting on the sofa knitting as we speak.’
Sunday:
‘Hi gorgeous! How’s you? Any fun in Brighton?’
‘Super, we took a stroll along the seaside and then had a pint.’
‘Cool. We went over to the new neighbours to cuddle the new baby. Sooo cute!’
‘Not doing anything too strenuous? You promised to take it easy.’
‘Don’t be a fool, I’m on the sofa knitting, watching the kids make a mess. We went to the pool for a splash and are having pancakes.’
‘Any plans for tonight?’
‘Nah, more knitting and some telly I think…’
‘Good plan. Take it easy, yeah?’
‘Night night, good luck on the train tomorrow and gives us a call whenever you’re nearly home so we can pick you up! Love you!’
‘Love you, talk to you tomorrow!’
Right, back to painting…

A lot of ideas are currently bubbling up in our heads to do some DIY. The weather is getting worse and worse, so we stay in a lot more and ’see’ a lot more 
The stairs will definitely get a new coat, the walls in the stairwell need painting, and the pantry/washroom, well, is the pantry… 
We are planning to finally put a proper wall in (you can see where) and then tile the entire area around the washing machine. The ultimate dream would be to have all of the floor tiled as well, but that is a job that requires all our stuff cleaned up and out first and a few days of decent dry weather to both dry the mortar and not drench our stuff. So, that is probably something for Spring.
Our washing area, with new floral covering on the folding area. Just image a lovely matching (purple?) curtain next to the washing machine to hide the laundry...
In the meantime, Sam makes us coffee… The sweatheart…
Masterchef Sam hard at work... He loves the kitchen now and makes us Senseo a lot (the orange button to the left). We got normal coffee from the pot today...

Today Sam and Amy went to see little Levina, Amy’s cousin’s second baby, who was born just over 4 weeks ago. What a little cutie!!! Sam was very impressed with big sister Tara, who celebrated her 3rd birthday 2 days ago and was wearing her birthday hat, made by the teacher in Kindergarten. Sam was very jealous of the hat, but then again, she had more interesting things as well, like a pram and a doll to push around the room… The two of them played like little darlings, while the momsies chatted away about diapers, poo, pee, and giving birth. Yup, the usual… Good thing the big boys weren’t there, haha…
Here’s the little ‘uns in action…
Sam, Tara and little Levina
Having fun!

Last night, just after Sammy went to bed, I (Amy) got a phone call from big S asking me to pick him and Hannah up from further up the road, this was the reason why:
I had noticed a spoke was missing, and like the front wheel, the back wheel was a bib wobbly… And on Sunday, when we were planning to out for a cycle, we turned back home at the end of the street because I thought it was very strange to drive… Unfortunately, I did not get round to bringing it to the bike shop yesterday (a strict deadline was to blame for that one)… and then when I asked big S whether he was sure he wanted to go biking with wee H… well, let’s say I did warn them… Luckily none of them were injured, but it did crack dramatically… And now, we’ll be without a bike until Friday, and then two proper stainless steel wheels richer and quite a few Euros poorer… Another life lesson learnt…

As you can see, a new site, a new home. We were having a few problems with phishers on our old site, and because there was no good way to sort this problem… we had no choice but to move.
We are still getting to grips with it, so bear with us for the coming time, until we find out what style we like most! But here a few piccies to get us of to a good start: our allotment!
Our fruit section. It has now been netted, because the first strawberries had fallen victims to an attack by a non-human fruit lover.
And our lettuces. Amazing how a few limp leaves are turning into crops so fast!
And this is courgette number 1 of three. Yes, they are flowering and thriving!
More pictures soon, just a cool one of Sam and his motor seesaw in the playground next to our house:
