Au revoir to the family home! Part 1!

We've moved!

How exciting!! We've finally moved - these are some pictures of the last few days in the flat when we were surrounded by boxes! Not fun!

Congratulations!

Congratulations to Andrew's sister Rowena who has just been appointed Deputy Head at Guildford High School! Well done Row! xx

Nic and Cloudia's wedding - 25/08/07

Absolutely lovely day, fab weather, scrummy food, gorgeous bride and groom - the new Mr and Mrs Singleton! Congratulations to the lovely couple!

Just in case anyone's wondering - the almost naked photo of Andrew is a result of a midnight skinny dipping session with the best man James! Luckily I had the camera to hand! Tahera (James' girlfriend) and I thought it would be very funny and incredibly mature to run off with their clothes and leave them in the marquee so that Andrew and James would have to come back naked to retrieve them! he he he...

My 26th Birthday!

I had the most amazing birthday this year. Andrew made me breakfast in bed and brought all my presents and cards to me - I got such lovely gifts! Then we went for a lovely pub lunch in West Hampstead where we both ate way too much food! Then we went for a walk at Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath which was lovely despite the rubbish weather! I suppose it gave me a chance to wear my flat cap for the first time this year!!

It was so great to speak to Ems all the way from NZ on my birthday - thanks for calling Ems, and thanks for the lovely bracelet, it's gorgeous!
Despite how it looks in this photo - I really am not pregnant!!

The most important bit in this photo is my new Mulberry handbag that Andrew bought me for my birthday! What a lovely man he is!

Ernest's Dedication

My little Godson Ernest Gil Ramos was "dedicated" today at a lovely service at Kensington Temple. He looked incredibly cute in his little christening outfit and was very well behaved! The reception afterwards was amazing - the family were so welcoming and the food was the best I've ever tasted - I could hardly walk when I left they'd fed me so well!!

Thank you for letting me be part of your special day!

Congratulations!

To Rupert and Sarah on their engagement! Great news! Fab party too!

The wedding season begins! 07/07/07

Congratulations to Emma and Nick - the new Mr and Mrs de Ujfalussy!! What a wonderful wedding! And the weather was amazing - which was so lucky considering the amount of rain we'd had the week before! Bizarre to think that it's only a year until ours!

Congratulations to Andrew!

Huge congratulations to Andrew - he has recently been offered a really fab new job and has handed in his notice as his current place - hurrah!!! Very exciting!

Well done Dodders. Am very proud of you! xxx

As you can see from the photos, we worked hard for your money!! xx

A lovely walk at Kenwood House

What a scorcher of a weekend!! I've been so bogged down doing boring boring essays recently - I've almost gone mad! So Andrew suggested having a break for a couple of hours - we went for a bit of a sunbathe and a walk around the grounds of Kenwood house - very nice and relaxing!

Mr Dodson, contemplating his future!
Balkers clinging on for dear life, knowing full well that Mr Dodson would find it really really funny to push her in to the lake!

This is the last set of photos you're getting Emma! Enjoy!
