Ice Skating


Wasn't keen on the idea of the kids going ice skating - had visions of fingers sliced off and wrist fractures...but Jenny took to it like a duck to water and Becky wasn't far behind her. Even enjoyed it myself...doing something new on the first day of the year was probably a good idea!

The Dales are alive with the Sound of Music

Langdale doing a passable impression of an Alpine meadow

Scottish Mackerel


Ardgarten, Arrochar, Argyll, Acotland. First time I have every used feather...not very sporting but it feed us for an evening. The next day didn't go so well, yes, that is a Grey Seal in the background.

Circumnavigation of Grafham Water


The kids did well, cycling 10 miles around Grafham Water, our first big expedition as a family. Last time we did Grafham Jenny was on a tagalong and Becky was in a trailer.

Bad day to be a stick


Me and the kids went for a play in the woods. The plan was to cook some bannock on a fire. Bex did the chopping, Jen did the gatering...and dad didn't quite get the fire going...woops
