Snowy Afternoon up Ongar way

During these very cold snowy days I had a go at building a snowman, along with my lovely niece and daddy. It Didn't really turn out very snow man, more snow... empire state cum statue of Liberty, haha.





It's height got the better of him in the end...


Beautiful views, walking across the fields to my sisters... Oooo I LOVE the snow!!

Comin Homo... few days in Alicante, Ongar and Town, Ah...

Mmm it runs in the family.. hehehe.. the love of the washing line/machine, I mean...

Sweet Marce getting a rub at Rufus picnic concert, what a lovely night.. had another the following week with Diana Krall, Joana and the boys. Can't beat London hot summer nights, ah...

Just happened to be the GayDay or whatever they call it now... these were the cheeky aussie bum boys.. others were smiling alot more.. for some reason, the equation seems to be more muscles/less smiling? or am I just a bit jealous? haha

Gorgeous birthday dinner with Ian & Liz who share the same day, and share nicely they do, and Tony and Ricky-roo too, bit pissy, ooo, it all ended a bit messily in Holland Park.. no, not the rich heart land of Holland Park.. hahaha

Ohhh. lovely Alicante, moonlight nights, sun, sea, sandy afternoons, friends, Oh, what more can a boy want...

Up to the Dutchies in the Hills and to meet the new Donkeys and Doggie.

If you ever want to go, its absolutely beautiful, peaceful, charming hosts and near the sea and coast if you really want all that: http://www.refugiomarnes.com/


And it was Fallas, so lots of people out and about and up to now good. Which is nice.

Oh, England, my Lionheart... this is how I think of the countryside, Ah. I sing that song to myself whenever I land here. Ah. Its all Golden now... mmm... time to take Nelly for a walk... well, next week when I'm back.

Dear old nan is the one in the deck chair with, I think, my dad on her lap. Ah :)















Dad and his mumma, Nancy, oh how I miss her still, I do I do.

Big Willy on a summer's night

Nothing like Willy on a warm english summer's evening, HAHA. And he performed lovely so he did :)



And it was so good to have some quality time with Brenda, Emma and Sarah, woohoo!




And my big sis too... double woohoo!

The Mud Princesses

Had a lovely day down at Mersea Island with my sister and two nieces. Had a picnic, walked out to the sea, the tide just on the turn. Dug for some worms and generally got dirty! yeah!


Also bumped into Sarah with her friend and their kids, which was very nice. Her George ended up lookin' like a mini extra from rambo, head-to-toe mud. I was kinda jealous but I don't think it would have been so cute on a (supposed) adult.

Anyhow, We all got the mud pack treatments! hahaha

We used to spend the summers down here in the caravan, water skiings and generally playing the whole tide in and out of the water - lovely memories - mmm although this is where I had a bike accident which ruptured my appendix and left me with my only scar that I hate.

Funny how you can go somewhere 20 years on and still have that feeling :)

Vacaciones de Abril, segunda parte! woohoo

Un dia en Waiheke, despues de volver a Auckland

Los novios - lo pasamos muy bien -woohoo

Mi hermanita y amiga de toda la vida, en Ongar, Ah :)

Some kind of Closet joke I suppose. Don't fear, the doctor managed to remove them and advised to try to avoid excess fruit in the future - HAHAHA

Do you spot ET? He didn't go home. We nearly lost him in the forest though. And Birthday week boy in a strop due to excess leaves on the track.

Germans doing Piers, very well it seems, huh?
