Our Fifth Wedding Anniversary - 27 Sep 07
Continuing on the theme of writing about things that happened whilst we were away last week, I thought I’d better not let this one slip by.
Last Thursday was our 5th wedding anniversary and even though we were already ‘away’, we couldn’t resist the opportunity to spoil ourselves for just one night. So, with Ben enjoying the company of his Nana and Granda (my parents), we took ourselves off to the Beech Hill Country House Hotel, just outside Derry – Our second luxurious hotel break within two weeks, no less, but probably our last for a long, long time.
Learning to Surf - 25 Sep 07
Surfing is something that I’ve wanted to try for many many years, yet somehow I just never have managed to get round to it. Back in my school days, a friend and I planned a trip to Newquay, in Cornwall, so that we could learn to surf, but transport issues and money concerns meant that our dream never came to fruition. So, for the occasion of my 30th birthday (yes, I sneaked that one quietly past you in May), Sarah offered me a couple of surfing lessons as part of my birthday present and, last week, I finally got to try the sport that has eluded me for so long.
Back In Town - 23 Sep 07
We’re just home tonight from our little family holiday. Yes, it does seem like we’ve been away a lot recently, but given how long it had been before that, since our last break, I think we’ve deserved it.
Reusable Nappy Update - 14 Sep 07
Its nearly a month now since we made the switch to reusable nappies, for Ben, and really its a case of so far, so good.
A Weekend Away - 11 Sep 07
Last Saturday, one of my friends got married down in County Fermanagh and Sarah & I took the opportunity (read ‘excuse’) to make a weekend of it. Just the two of us. Without Ben. For the first time since he was born.
Playing Catch-Up - 04 Sep 07
I can’t believe how long its been since I last posted anything. A few days turned into a week and before I knew it, over a fortnight had passed. I find that if I don’t post regularly, I get out of the habit of doing it and soon forget all those great ideas I had for posts.
