How many 9 Anglo-Irish year olds dine on aubergine & corgette curry, vegetable pilaf with onion bhajis on a Sturday night?

What's amazing is that Rosie made the whole meal herself, rendering Dad redundant in the kitchen.



Even more amazing is her brothers wolfed the whole lot down too!

Well done Flossie

The build of of heavy winter growth on the heads of both boys became too much.

A quick trip to the crimpers, and out with the #4 for a USMC style short back 'n' sides.

Dunno what the Drill Sgt would make of the hair-wax though...

But then some of us don't need the barber

Snow Fun

First snow of the winter and finally the sledges Santa brought made their debut journey......on a public road.

Christmas 2011

Well, Father Christmas has been kind this year, somehow finding space on his sleigh for three bikes. 

Nanny & Grandad provided the helmets, saving Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, Blitzen & Rudolf from having to haul more.

So below you can see the monsters about to break the law and cycle down The Lane, Grandborough
