California Dreamin'

I have uploaded onto Flickr a job-lot of photos from our American holiday. For most of the two weeks we stayed with Sara's wonderful American cousins and other family members.

Take a look!

Southend Awayday

Look who's top of the League! I went to Southend yesterday to watch a thrilling match that Tranmere won 2-1 taking us to the top of League 1. The atmosphere was great and of course it was lovely to be beside the seaside...


Southend's ground, Roots Hall, is a bit old and small but it has quite a lovely charm that many modern stadiums lack. Nevertheless, I was very envious of Sara who went to Barcelona last week for a work conference and managed to squeeze in a trip to Barcelona's Nou Camp ground! As you can see, it's a bit bigger than Roots Hall...


Between us, we've both now been to the two biggest football stadiums in Europe (the other being Wembley), something that I'm tragically quite proud about!

Moving On

We've moved house! This was our really big summer project and we needed the big truck in the above picture, which somehow managed to squeeze into our old cul-de-sac in Camberwell, to do it. It was hard to leave SE5, but now we're living in sunny Forest Hill and it's terrific.

Of course, the only problem with this is that Forest Hill is in SE23 - I need to change the title of this blog!

Our new house has been pretty chaotic over the last few weeks as we've had windows replaced, new doors put in and even a brand new staircase built. But the end of the building tunnel is now in sight, we love the house and hope to see you here soon!
