Well it's already March and the kids have already passed half-term! Time is flying by too quickly for me! We have had a jam packed year already. We have been up to mates in Nottingham Road, where we had a lovely weekend. Sean enjoyed the country bike rides, whilst I went for a run with Dee.

We have also been down to the beach quite a bit and I must tell you that Lauren is an expert fisher-girl when it comes to catching those little dogfish in the rock pools. She always gets bucket loads of them and always attracts lots of children. We do follow the catch and release programme!! Talking about fish, our fish tank at home hasn't been too much of a success - we've managed to kill off about 12 fish so far, there are 2 hanging in there, but the snails are thriving!!! This is very perplexing for Sean - as he has had fish all his life!! I think it's got something to do with the water.

Sean has just come back from a fishing weekend in Pongola on the Jozini Dam. He caught 6 tiger fish and was the leader with a 2kg tiger after the first day, but Alf managed to pip him on day 2 with a 3kg tiger! It sounds like they had a lot of fun, with a lot of drinking in between!!

We are off to Nottingham Road again this weekend as my great friend, Heather, turns 40 and we're all going away to have a party!!! So really looking forward to that.
