Back after four months

Hello, Well i thought it was about time i posted something on our blog as it has been about four months since the last one. I have succumbed to guilt trips and bollocking's by Pam who somehow has the superhuman ability to blog 3 times a week.(good on ya though Pam we do love it).
I don't know what it is about writing these things i just find it difficult, I have come to the conclusion that just writing what you think is the best policy, the reason i fell out with blogging was that it took me too bloody long because i kept reading everything back and changing bits and so on. I suppose also when you immortalize something into the public domain you feel you should think about what your saying which isn't normally my policy as you probably know, so an element of self conciousness comes into the deal too. Another trouble i have had with writing these posts is that because only our good friends Pam and Craig in the US and my mum and dad really have read the blog up to now and no bugger bothered to get a google password in order to look at it, i ended up writing the blog as more of a personal message to the people i knew read it which isn't the point really because we have email for that don't we. So iam going to de restrict access to the blog and re invite all our friends and family to view it again.
Anyway this post every day for a month thing people are doing has made me think i should probably write more and it gives an opportunity to share experiences of life with our wonderful boy Noah through stories, pictures or video. So much time has elapsed since the last blog, you have missed a lot of what's been going on with us, so as well as current stuff going on with us i will keep going back to old pics, videos and the stories that go with them from time to time. Noah is growing and changing so rapidly there is a lot to include past and present so keep with me and i hope none of it gets boring because we all know what a nightmare parents are like when they get going on how wonderful there children are.
So enough of my ramblings, here are a couple of recent pictures.

This picture was taken at the Cambridge folk festival which we took Noah to for his 3rd festival. on our camp site there were entertainers and musicians, most of it geared up to kids which was fab, one day Noah had his face painted as a tiger which looked really cool, he was running around the camp site pretending to be a tiger and "roaring" at strangers. More on Cambridge to come, including video footage of him nicking my can of beer and necking it ( i hope social services dont read these things)


This photo was taken about a month ago when we were on holiday to the Lakes. We took fred off to the south lakes zoo for the day and amongst other thigs there was a penguin enclosure where the scuttle around your feet, i must have smelled of fish or something because they pecked me to death, Noah on the other hand got on great with them and i snapped this great picture which iam really proud of because you couldnt ever have posed for it. Oh and i later found out from a guide that the little buggers were in season and trying to mate with me. Lovely.

This litte pixie was photographed during a trip to a one day folk festival in dent (lake district) there was a stall with all manor of weird and wonderful hats and of course Noah had to try most of them on. We also bought him his first guitar here as a treat its a green ukulele, i will post a pic of him playing it sometime.

Thats it for now, i have already done what i said i wouldnt do and spend hours over this. will post again soon, and i look foreward to seeing some new dots on the clustrmap. Ta Ta

Oh a P.s - I have added a widget from one of my fav sites - last.fm - its a radio station where the music is compiled from people's similar tastes, i have nominated the band Shins, the site does the rest playing you music you already love based on your taste and music you dont know you love yet, fabulous idea eh. oh if you dont like the current track just flick to the next, if you like it leave the page running in the background of your browser it never stops. Ta ta.
