We have decided to go to the Lakes this weekend as Simon’s colleague Shane from Melbourne, Australia is coming to visit for the weekend – thought it would make a change for Shane to see some of the touristy kind of places in the Lake District.  The weather forecast looks reasonably promising so we are going to go for it….

The new washing machine was delivered and installed today – shame the installation guy tipped half a bucket of water all over the cupboard next to the washer – foolish thing to do really – then to hop it quick smart after a feeble apology – oh, well what should we expect…..

Still no takers on the photos of Vicky as a reasonable youngster  – any votes for whether we should place online ????
