A moment on Hampstead Heath

January 3rd, 2009

It was cold, frosty and sunny today so we went for a walk on the Heath and I grabbed a photo of some birds taking flight from a pond. I rather like this image.

Christmas 2008 was very jolly

December 31st, 2008

We had a very busy and very enjoyable Christmas this year. Christmas Eve was at Eva’s and a chance to see some old friends. Christmas Day we were at home with our kids Rosie and Jess for a lazy day of food and TV.

Boxing day was the usual large gathering at Paddy’s in Hackney. You can see the photos from Hackney by clicking here.

We all gathered at Chris’s and Camilla’s gain this year for a fireworks party. The rain held off until all the fireworks were finished and everyone had a great time - particularly the large tribe of young boys who spent the evening teetering on the edge of hysterical excitement.
