It's clearly been far, far too long since an update, and to be honest I have felt uninspired since our memorable trip last year. But James had snapped me out my funk with his win this weekend in the tennis junior club championship and I guess I just love to brag a bit. So i vow to update more regularly from here on out. Some of it may be mundane but it's all part of lifes' adventure. As for the last 6 months, we have all been healthy, and have been working hard and playing hard. James continues to work on his tennis, training 4 or 5 nights a week and somehow manages to keep his grades up at school. Long may that continue. Maisie also continues to excel at school and is now swim training 3 nights a week.

Dad has finally managed to lose some weight after committing to the process for once and feels a lot better for it. Mum is happy with Dad for this. Summer holidays are only 4 weeks away for us. No big trips planned this year, but we hope to escape a couple of times with some last minute adventures somewhere in between what will be a hectic tennis tournament schedule.
