Road to nowhere

We all feel like we're on this sometimes...but not literally.

Not sure what was going on here as there was no signs of any further roadworks.

Would have been a perfect jump though.

emotive advertising

This was on a huge billboard in Capetown.

It's a bit full on but the year before some british tourist caused a major forest fire that ended up killing a couple of people so fair enough.

Nice glass

This is what happens when you buy drinks without really knowing what they are.

Felt pretty stupid supping this. Still a drink's a drink.

chilling out

Amber chilling out in her bouncer....

Amber waking in the morning

ahhh I love this pic, and love waking up to this smiling face, dont be deceived though, shes not always like that....

Top gun

Up and away on a flying lesson which was a belated 30th present that I only just got time to take.

The plane was more Top Shop than Top Gun and when he had the bonnet up befor we got it I started to get some nerves. I also took about 10 minutes to get her started and teh door was held on by what looked like a coat hanger.

After our pre-flight checks I took her for a spin and amazingly didn't get sick or plummet to earth in a blaze of glory.

After I'd shot down a few jerrys it was back to blighty for tea and medals.

In a sling

Here she is in her new carrier on the way to Rothbury, where unbelievably we found another Turks Head.

In the garden

Only took 15 attempts to work the remote control on the camera.

Typical woman

She goes from happy to sad, overjoyed to furious in the blink of an eye.

Congratulations

Like Amber, another one that kept everybody waiting.

Abigail Lily Cornell - here at last, another lovely baby.

car trips

An Elvis impression and a visit to the aquarium.

At the beach

A trip to the beach, a sunny day, an Italian al fresco lunch, some seal spotting........and Amber still slept through the lot.

Seeing double

A turks head next to the Turks Head

Sparing

as well as wimpy's of the world we saw a few other familiar sights. Living a stones throw away from the trusty Spar we didn't expect to see one as soon as we stepped off the plane in South Africa.

This large advert on the side of the building was strange as well - it covers loads of people's flats. You can see where they painted round the windows. You would just need to pop your head out of your window and be part of a vodka advert.

Getting bigger

...and hungry all the time!

monkey business

Went to a preview night at the Baltic with work. There's certainly some strange stuff in there.

I don't know too much about modern art but a monkey with it's arm chopped off got my attention.

Dressed for Wedding

We took Amber to a wedding on saturday, we were abit nervous about it, but all turned out ok, even though she got hungry in the church and cried her little eyes out...

Here she's absolutely knock out before we went to wedding, and she spend most of the wedding like this.... :)

Amber ahhhh

Here she is sitting in here bouncer, she only sits in it a short while then gets very bored....

Relaxing at home
