Dancing and sledges

Here's sledge mk II (with a lot o help from the extreemly talented Dave Homer - the Resistant Materials teacher from school).






And here's Aidan and George dancing at mum and dads during a lovely day with Alice and the four boys.

Sledge making

Went sledging with Mark and Isaac and the premier boy. Embarrasingly Owen and I broke Marks sledge attempting a large jump. We decided te replacemet 'Grew family sledge' should be home made. Cue an evening in a chilly conservatory bodging a sledge from scrap wood. We were ably assisted by the expert advice of James our new curate, from Canadia, and thus an expert in all things related to snow. (Isaac also pitched in before bed time)

Obligatory snow pictures

Here they are. The standard child with snowman shot, complemented by my washing line ice tower.

Merry new year

Merry new year to all, and to all a good night.






Mark doing an excellent job of Reading to the three eldest Jupp/Grew children. Post settling we enjoyed an excellent Mexican, (food, not an actual Mexican) followed by some Wii action and some fireworks by the light of a "death star moon".
