How do you solve a problem like Lily?

		Katie and I decided we just had to capture this before she learned all the words properly. We were crying with laughter at this rendition by Lily of ‘Do-re-mi”.

Olly’s first birthday party

		Lily’s youngest cousin, Olly, was one last week, and on Saturday there was a lovely party to celebrate – we also had Fiona (Katie’s elder sister), Jenny and Lucy (her daughters) to stay for the weekend. Lovely time. See the party video here.

A weekend at home – just the ten of us

A gorgeous, balmy summer weekend with Dippy, Jane and children Libby and Flo. Then James and Katie came on a flying but packed visit from Australia, with Maisy. What a great time – the hottest weather we’ve had since we moved here four years ago – perfect for making memories. See the video here.

Wow – it’s wierd looking back on this video of the house building now. Seems like we’ve come so far. What a satisfying struggle it’s been!;

A holiday on Islay

A rain-free family holiday at a cottage in Carnduncan on the isle of Islay for a week. Sunny beaches with a waterproof to keep the wind off! A day trip cycling to Craighouse on the isle of Jura. Fantastic time. See the 10 minute video here.
