Summer in the UK. I spent
the hottest 2 days of the UK summers assembling a
swing/fort contraption in the garden of Amanda's parents.
Thankfully, the weather stayed good enough for it to be
used. |

Richard & Fiona
holidaying in Conil, near Cadiz, on the Costa de la Luz,

dinner served at tables actually on the sand. |

Christmas might be over, but
that doesn't stop the Doodles from singing one of their
favourites. (file's too big at the moment:
have to find another location) |

You
might need to get Quicktime to see this.

Finally unpacked and settled, but would
you believe it, more disruption on the way at the end of
January when No. 4 arrives!! Christmas to get through
first, though and they're already asking how long they
have to wait. |

Which house is ours?
|
| 12/03/2001 |
Blimey, that was knackering!
Tough work, but we're nearly through. Settled in to the
house, school and office, with most of the unpacking
done. |
| 06/11/2000 |
The next phase of the move to Spain will
soon be with us: the school's arranged, the boat and
shipping company are booked, the house outside Madrid is
also sorted out. It's been a hectic summer, what with
Amanda breaking her foot 3 days into her month in Spain,
bringing Miriam over to help out until Amanda recovered,
a boat trip to the London Eye, a September schools/house
hunting trip to Madrid, the Severn Valley Steam Railway,
etc. |

We finally have a name for the baby - Angus Niall. |
 |
| 13/02/2000 |
No 3 has arrived. A nine
pound (4.08 kg) boy was born at 15:48 Friday 4th
February. He was a water birth at Charlotte's in
Hammersmith, after a protracted build up and rapid
delivery. Both he and Amanda are doing well, and since
all he does is eat and sleep, he's pretty well-behaved.
Cailin and Fergus are both pleased, although the
threesome are proving a major handful. Better get some
pictures up soon. |

No 3 is on the way near the
end of January 2000, so watch this space for
details
Both children are looking forward to
Christmas. The excitement mounts, with a nursery nativity
play next week (Fergus playing Joseph, Cailin an Angel),
and a recent trip on the Severn Valley Steam Railway
Santa Special. |

Fergus & Cailin are now
both attending a mixed language Spanish/English nursery
school in Fulham. Amanda was awarded a B in her Spanish A
Level and Mark is understanding less and less of what
goes on at home. |
 |
| 13/04/1999 |
Latest news is that Fergus
has been walking for a while and is obsessed with getting
into the garden or the street at every opportunity.
Amanda is busy studying for her Spanish A Level in June. |
