For all you complainers

Gosh, you don't post for a few weeks and all you get are complaints. I've been delving into the depths of American culture don't you know and it's very distracting. Here is the evidence:

Time spent in London is time well spent..... mostly

More pics from the trip. The end of the trip was spent in London with the lovely Catherine and Jude.... and the very smart and talented Mark.

Fish & Chips

Weird I know but I was really looking forward to this meal, enough to take a piture of it.

The North Coast

One of my favourite places to be.

Downhill

There is an area up on the North Coast called Downhill, it's has its cliff top ruins and big windswept beaches. It also has one of the worlds best Hostels, run by William and McCall - www.downhillhostel.com/

Some photos from the trip.

These photos were all taken around the Castlerock area on the North Coast, where my Mum now lives - which works out nicely for us.

Having some photo problems

We were hoping to send some photos of our trip as we went along - but due to a lack of computer access (not really a bad thing) and not being able to upload photos to the blog from this computer this hasn't happened. We'll have to post them when we get back.

This one is for Jude

Jude, we need to get you a close up of our local pigs. Can you see those little pink spots? Welcome to life in Tennessee!!

Garden Spiders

I love these spiders

More garden goodies

Our garden still produces little gems for us.

Ideas for our kitchen

We have been thinking of trying to open up the back of our house onto the back garden (some day when we can afford it) - I love the idea of a lot of morning light over breakfast.

Ivy's first sunset.

This was little Ivy's first sunset:

Iittle Ivy

For those who haven't met Ivy yet here she is with Mum & dad (Elizabeth & Tim):

And there was life everywhere - if you looked for it. It turned out to be a perfect evening. 

On our way back the sun was down, the General Jackson Paddle Steamer came by loaded with people eating and waving up at us. 

The same thing but closer 

I noticed this great reflection from the underside of the bridge. 

We went down to the pedestrian bridge with our "Chicago Style" Greek food. I think this is my favourite view of Nashville. 

As the sun started to go down everything started to have little hints of the fairground look. 

Even the not so attractive Gallatin Road tried to point us to good things. 

Yesterday evening we weren't quite sure what to do with ourselves. A movie would have been one too many. Driving to the other side of town was too much of a pain. So we took a drive up Gallatin Road looking for some beauty and greek food. 

Yesterday Jenna decided to start the morning at Bongo East - it's amazing what a coffee shop can do for a soul in the morning. 

Recently some of the local girls has a slumber party. As part of the whole event Lewis had to make an apperance. 

And last but not least we got to celebrate Tim's birthday. (The candles are not an accurate description of his age, I don't care what else he tells you!) 

We got to spend more time with Carly (our niece) over the weekend. She was very cute, would wake up with a smile on her face and would talk to you for ages.
