Autumn Country Walks

This week a close friend’s wedding gave me the opportunity to visit my mom & dad’s new place in Staffordshire’s countryside.  Photos of the wedding will follow in a future blog post, but for now I’d like to share some from the lovely autumnal walks we’ve been able to take over the last few days. …

Fun filled weekends

This weekend has been fab due to the arrival in Edinburgh of Emily, Joe, Sarv, Laura and Ed (noting that Sanj, James and I were already here).  We’ve packed a fair bit in – thai food, plenty of wine, a bit of singing and dancing on the wii, lot of steps etc etc.  This morning …
