The Trampoline Finally Gets Built

Just 3 short hours later and lots of aching muscles - here is the trampoline that Libby and Millie had for their birthdays. They love it - if only it would rain a bit less often.

Rockschool Grade 3 - Download

Here is the second piece I studied for my Rockschool Grade 3 exam, "Download". Again, I wanted to make a record of this before I forget how to play it.

This time I decided to play using a "Brian May Red Special" guitar running through a "Digitech Brian May Red Special" effects pedal. So - there you have it - I have now admitted that I am a massive Queen fan...

Singing Happy Birthday Once More

I know it's hard to believe that anyone could have Happy Birthday sung to them this many times - but at least this one was on Libby's actual birthday.

Libby Turns 4

Wow - I can't believe that Libby is now 4. It feels like she is 14 most of the time...

Great Laptop Accessory!!

Thought this was just so funny !!

More JibJab...

Bet you didn't know we could dance like this - click to see the video.

Party Aftermath

What more can I say...

Bouncy Castle Time

My Favourite Picture

Just thought I'd share this picture which is my current favourite of the kids.

Rockschool Grade 3 - Hazi Taxi

I recently took the "Rockschool" Grade 3 guitar exam. There are several parts to the exam including improvisation, scales and music theory - but the main part involves playing 3 pieces chosen from a possible 6.

I have now started studying the Grade 4 pieces, so I decided to record myself playing the Grade 3 pieces before I forget how to play them. I also wanted a way to be able to look back and see progress. So - here is my first piece, "Hazi Taxi".

Happy Birthday Millie

OK - thought I would try something new. Here is a video of us all singing happy birthday to Millie.

JibJab

Gareth recently acquired a habit of creating JibJab videos of family members. Click here to see a hilarious disco sequence...

Millie's Birthday

Last Friday was Millie's second birthday - can't believe she is now 2 years old !! And now sleeping so well that we actually had to set an alarm to be up in time for her to open presents before Libby went to nursery...

Later in the day we enjoyed a birthday tea with Jennie, Nigel and Aiden and Millie's Grandma and Grandad.
