It's been a busy few months - 
In May we went to Abu Dhabi for a few days to celebrate a friends 60th birthday. It was lovely but very hot! The hotel was fantastic and we did a jeep safari which was amazing - like a roller coaster on sand!
At the end of May, I went back to the UK to see my friends little boy who had just turned one and is to be my god son. Also popped down to Cirencester to see the family which was good.
Also in May, my niece and fiancée came to visit and we had a fab time chilling out with them.
In June another friend came over for a visit and at the beginning of August, my brother and his wife came over for a well deserved rest! It was lovely to spend time with my brother and catch up on his work and the family events (especially the big wedding next year!).
August bank holiday weekend was our friends baby's christening and I was very proud to be his god mother. The weather was good and we all had a lovely time down the pub after the service.
My friend from work fed the cats for us and when we got back, Sable was missing yest again (he was missing for 4 weeks in July!). He has now returned thank goodness - only 4 days this time! He seems to wander off and get locked in somewhere I think.

The Garden

It's that time of year again when the garden needs a bit of a tidy and the addition of some plants. I went to a garden centre this morning to get a couple of shrubs and a few annuals for some tubs.

I really would have loved to get some gazinias but the snails decimate them! I got a lovely red rose , a jasmine and some petunias. I also spotted some sage and thyme as I would like to set up a herb tub again (the last one died as the cats kept doing their business in it!).

I have a helper coming on Thursday to do some of the digging as the ground is really hard.

Here is a couple of pictures of the garden -

UK Trip March 2012

In March 2012, we visited the UK to see friends and family. The first couple of days were spent in Sevenoaks with friends and the weekend was in South Cerney where my parents and brother and family live. Whilst in Sevenoaks, I went to see the musical Ghost in Piccadilly - it was fantastic and I would recommend it to anyone - the stage lighting and technical features were fabulous.

On the Saturday it was my parents 61st wedding anniversary so we went to a hotel restaurant for dinner with the family including my brother, his wife, their 2 daughters and partners. We had a very good evening. Here is a couple of pictures -

Thought it would be a good idea to set up a blog for family and friends where we can record some of our activities and share our pictures and videos.
