june update

Hiya, well as you can see its winter here and its arrived with a bang.
We had 10 inches of snow overnight on Sunday 11th June. Oxford school closed for 3 days and many people lost power. Infact, some people are still without power 10 days later. We managed to stay nice and warm with our open fire and little coal range, people with electric heating were not so lucky.

We are all fine and well despite the cold. The kids are really into their sports now. Freya plays soccer for the Oxford Midget team and Ethan is in the Oxford rugby team. The photo was taken at his first night match and he got player of the day and we were so proud of him.

Chris is still enjoying work, he has got another pay rise so that put a smile on his face :)

I am enjoying life, Freya starts school at the end of next month so I am wondering about what I will do then. Ive joined a reading group and I just love it. Its great getting together with other book worms and we always have a good natter about everything/anything.
