Visa adventures and other news

Greetings all good folk out there and wishing you a lovely Merry season. I thought I would do a wordy type news post for a change. We have, since the birth of Matthew been busy and also had fun. We had a lovely visit from the wonderful Margaret, who is over here for a bit of a hol and working on investigating a music library.



We have also been around and about getting paperwork for the mini foozle. We first got the boy registered and then citizenshiped and after that it was off to London for a passport. The last stage of course was the visa to remain and we had to drive up through the groovy Derbyshire county to Sheffield for it. The boys were very good in the car, which gives me hope we may survive our mad capped plan to drive around Scotland after Christmas.

This week I have been very pleased with myself as I am starting to cope with two wee ones. The first time out, of course took me an hour to get them both in the car. I had to pause while getting ready to feed Matthew, stop Timothy destroying something or just taking his socks off while I was putting his shoes one. But by the end of the week I have managed to get both in, in under twenty minutes. I actually did too outings yesterday.

Monday week we are off to Lille in France to meet up with Ben's folks and check out the Christmas markets. Should be excellent, if cold. The we have Christmas day and Boxing day in Cambridge, where we will attempt to see the Christmas day service at Kings. After that we are off to Scotland via the Lakes on the way up and York on the way back.

Here are a few more pics. Mathhew in varies states of snooze, Timothy on his first merry-go-round and making oatcakes with Daddy and an awake pixie looking foozle.
