Hello, and welcome to our blog. We are a comitted couple living in West Lothian with our seven furry (& thirteen feathered) babies - don't worry, we don't have kids with Hirsutism - they are dogs, cats, chickens and a parrot!! We consider ourselves to be happy-go-lucky individuals, who most definitely believe in living life to the full whilst attempting not to hurt people along the way! We enjoy the company of warm, fun people - a sense of humour is absolutely essential to 'get' us (plain silly to pure sarcasm). We don't 'gel' well with people who can suck the life out a duracell battery.

Our hobbies are vast and varied...We should spend a lot of time renovating our 100 year old cottage, but we much prefer browsing for hours in book shops, people watching, coffee shops, cinema, shopping, walking by the beach or being lost for hours in the country, cuddling in bed, watching DVDs when we really should be out cutting the grass!, cooking, eating out in quaint little restaurants that serve food so yummy you want to do a little dance at the table, playing Sudoka (and spending way too much money on those rip off little puzzle books!), debating (for hours on end) with each other (or anyone who'll listen) over the downfall of society, etc...and how everything was much better in 'our day', telling each other the same stories over and over again...and still expecting the laughs/knods like it's the first time we've ever heard them, Scrabble, spending money we don't have on things we don't need, xwords/arrow words, Eggheads (any quiz programme really), gardening - in an attempt to become as self sufficient as possible, spending hours upon hours sitting watching our beautiful girls doing what chickens do, reading/posting on various forums (addictive, isn't it?). Oh..and saving for our Civil Ceremony, planned for 2012.

This blog is about all of the above, and more. We hope you'll at least enjoy some of it - thanks for taking the time to visit!

First post of 2009...

I didn't manage to post over Christmas - so though I'd update the blog with all our Christmas piccies now. Christmas was a HUGE affair this year (due to the arrival of our Americans) held at my Mum's house - boxing day with my Dad, and his girlfriend.

Almost all of us (excluding those washing the dishes and taking the photo)

It's all too much for baby Q. She's sound asleep, on her little home made bed!

My Dad attempting to beat Liz at bowling, on the DS.

Liz determined to 'whup' my Dad.

My Dad & Fionn - awww, they love each other.

Unfortunately Liz and I were struck down with the flu the day after boxing day, so we had to skip the rest of the festive fun. Hogmany was spent in bed...the only buzz we got was cough bottle, antibiotic or strepsil induced. Bliss!!...not!
