Val and Ella in Ireland

Well here is the long awaited video of Val and Ella’s trip to Ireland in July.

I have to warn you though, this video comes with a ‘Tear-jerker’ Guarantee.

Sub Lieutenant Peter Ernest Jenner


My Grandfather, much loved and missed, has been included in a historical website for the Indian Navy, which he served in during the war.

My Mum and I were contacted by the websites maintainer, Rakesh Koshy, after he saw pictures of Grandpa on our Flickr site. Mum worked with him on some of the details included in the Bio, and scanned the pictures you’ll see.

It’s a nice record of his service and I’d love you to go over and have a look. You can find it here.

Down at the Beach

This is us down at the beach last weekend with Michele, Gary and Tadhg.

Ella was asleep the whole time so she doesn’t feature in it at all. Ooh and remember its winter here still, so its not bad weather here considering aye. Not to rub it in though.

The Worlds Biggest Chocolate Brownie

Been a while since our last post. Been busy with that crazy baby. She’s had a cold and hasn’t been sleeping well again. We had gotten into a good routine, but since the cold that’s all out the window.

She does seem to be better today so hopefully she is over the worst of it.

I had my first Fathers Day (it’s on a different day here). Val made me the biggest Chocolate Brownie the world has ever seen, and one of her now famous home made cards. Very tasty indeed (the Brownies that is, not the card).

Only 3 weeks left till the place I work at closes down. I’ll be moving over to one of their other sites then. At the moment I’m selling-off as much of the remaining stuff on-site as I can on (believe it or not) ebay. Getting some good money for some old junk. I put an old Hydraulic press on there last week for $99 and it ended up selling for $2045! Not my money though unfortunately, though it has made me think about setting up my own ebay business. Who knows, I think it could be good fun.
