What's New

First to answer the ever asked question now.... no baby yet. This is by the farthest I've gone and as the English say I'm gobsmacked. However, I am 39 weeks today so one way or another it will be here soon! The baby is doing well and moves a lot.

Since we last posted Mark and I managed to have a romantic evening for two, we celebrated Bonfire night and we have finally had frost for the first time - today. Mark's parents were nice enough to look after the kids for an evening while we escaped to a beautiful B&B on the ocean, fantastic! We went for supper and enjoyed some quite time.

November 5 is bonfire night here, celebrating the demise of the "blowing up" of the parliament buildings by a bloke named Guy Fawkes in 1605. Hence they have bonfires and set off loads of fire works. We set some off in our back yard (it's allowed & almost encouraged here, far cry from home) and saw MANY other displays.

As I said we had our first frost today much to our surprise it actually hit 0°C. The weather has been mild with a low of about 2°C so far and that has been uncommon. It kind of makes you homesick, almost:>

Rather than that the kids are doing well. Lochlan is still enjoying preschool, having made new friends and Miah is talking up a storm. We've had a round of a cold and the stomach flu go through the house, but I figure it's good to have over before the baby comes.
