Trente Ans

These blog updates are a little out of order - we've been trawling through the mammoth job of blogging six months worth of photos.

Here you go... Aimes's birthday back in December...

Guess who scored a trip over the ditch for her birthday?

Pho 14 - Pho and Banh Cuon Heaven , we can vouch for this as we ate there twice!

London's Going Snoware

We sprung out of bed this morning to run out the back and check out the garden. Forecasts were spot on ... 20 cm (no exaggeration) of fresh powder snow had dropped overnight! We quickly dressed in our layers of thermals, and donned our gloves, scarves and beanies - grabbed the camera and we're off to go and play! We became tourists and checked out all the London landmarks.

Sandwiched between play we dropped into work to show our faces...

For a moment, Greg had considered skiing down Primrose Hill but his better judgement prevailed.
