So, what's been happening in the Fazey-Wood household 2011 so far?

Well, we had a cracking Christmas in Portland with the brood....

Santa sent Suzie a new hat :)

Then a quiet (if depressive couple of months in the grey of Feb - March...) we did some walking...

Brookmans Park...

and around the evocative Hormead Church


and SPRING arrived and Easter.... which means CAMPING at Westfleet in the Fazey-Wood household...

....and there was the new arrival :)

Next....Whitsun !!

Good Morning World....

It must be Spring....getting the feel to write again:)

So...how are 'things' in the Fazey-Wood household? Okay as it happens!

These wonderful people

http://www.apgreenbuildersltd.co.uk/ have begun the process of sorting out our damp problem so we can redecorate our nest and make it all cosy for the autumn...

Holidays...Well we're off to our now traditional Easter weekend stay at Westfleet this coming Thursday - keeping an eye on the weather forecast.

Come the summer it's going to be less exotic this year - 10 days in Cornwall BUT for our 2nd anniversary weekend we're off t Paris!!

Then at Christmas we're taking a cottage on Portland so we can have a Christmas with the kids & grand kids...

Sport wise...time to update this entry

Watford...struggling :( Off to see them this afternoon play Middlesborough - we need to win.

Hertford Town...struggling :( They're playing Langford today.

Waikato - did ok in the New Zealand Cup, looking forward to it again this summer.

The Chiefs...won their first three away games in Super 14...then lost the next three!!

Ah well - that's sport.

We're going for a walk tomorrow...going to pick one of these:-

Easter in the wilds...of Dorset!

What a wonderful sunrise!!

Danger - Ladybird about!!

'Er Indoors...

Peek - A - Boo...

My Tent!!

It's been a while....again, but there and then, no one reads this anyway...

It's Friday, it's nearly May and at last we've had a modicum of reasonable weather (with some dirty showers thrown in of course, can't expect anything else!!).

So, what's gone down in the world of the Fazey-Wood since I last spoke?

Work wise, Suzie's been on the up after her mid life crisis of the winter!! We've had an OFSTED at school that's left everyone with a very deflated feeling - not that we were bad, but just they came, sauntered around and vanished after finding the most irritating of points to score against us with what has appeared to me (being just a minion) little or no explanation!!

Never mind, we finished the week with a wine and quiz party to raise funds for the Friends of the school .... which meant last Saturday was a bit of a fuzz!!

I've started wearing a suit and other 'smart' attire - just to confuse everybody and get them to believe I might be good at my job:-)

Family wise we're all doing fine, aren't you Debs and Claire?

Had a good Easter - went to West Fleet for our now traditional camping visit with Suzie's wonderful nephew Aaron ...

fun fishing....(no WE didn't catch anything)

- brrrrrr and windy! Quite comfortable - although we did have to buy a smaller tent as our usual one decided it wanted to be a parachute in the wind...(the sleeping bag AND quilt kept us warm. What a new toilet block there - underfloor heating in FULL bathrooms!

Sunset at West Fleet - Suzie's work...

I'm going to make the effort to fill in this at least weekly...just read a book by a Tory (rich geezer!) politician from late 19th early 20th century - Herbert Maxwell. Whilst very bland in itself , he makes the point that we can all leave a footprint in the sand for those who follow can look at. (A bit deep for this time of the day - It's 6 something here in sunny Bengeo).

Must get back to the Friday stuff as well...
