<br />
It's been a while...and many times I've gone to Facebook to post. I think it's time to come back to my little blog and start again...<br />
<br />
...keep looking for updates coming soon :)Katmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032412.post-89670518142085776942012-08-26T22:25:00.001+00:002012-08-26T22:33:10.734+00:00Summer Holidays 2012<br />
I’ve been very remiss recently with blogging. That’s more to do with Sharon being away and juggling with looking after the kids and work. Anyway, after Sharon’s recent employment in sunnier climes, we went away on our holiday to France. We went to <a href="http://www.lacroixduvieuxpont.com/?gclid=CNTgzfaahrICFcfKtAodtH4AiQ">La Croix Du Vieux Pont</a> situated about an hour and a half from Paris.<br />
The site was perfectly set out with 3 large lakes, indoor and outdoor pools and onsite restaurants. The countryside surrounding the site was rolling hills a bit like Fermanagh. We were able to take advantage of some brilliant days out including visiting the breathtaking castle at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_de_Pierrefonds">Chateaux De Pierrefonds</a> and pony trekking around <a href="http://www.lacroixduvieuxpont.com/berny-riviere.html">Berny Riviere</a>.<br />
Here are some pictures….<br />

We were blessed with good weather for our 10 days away. The temperature was mostly in the 30’s. One thing we didn’t take advantage of was the closeness of Disneyland. Lucy was too young to make that possible this time round. Perhaps another time…</div>

I know I’ve been quiet of late on the blog front……it’s mostly down to returning to work in January (no manpower, more work etc etc), sickness (kids sharing viruses and chickenpox) and preparing Sharon for detachment. Never mind….all is settling down now so back to updates on the rascals.<br />
We went to Emily’s parents evening and, no surprise, she’s doing well. Well mannered yet shy and her reading is great. That's not surprising either considering the amount of stories we read! Her art is fantastic…she loves colours but is a bit of a perfectionist…which has lead to a couple of frustrated tears at times…bless.<br />
Hannah has recovered from a horrible dose of chickenpox and a particularly nasty virus she still hasn’t fully shifted. Nevertheless she’s still a chirpy cheeky chappess full of love.<br />
Lucy’s walking! Heaven help us! She has come on so much in the last month. She isn’t a baby anymore. In someways, it’s a shame as I’ve missed all of her first year and I’m left with this strong willed, loving and giggling kid! She has recovered from chickenpox now as well.<br />
I know I’m going to be missing a chunk of occasions out since the last blog, but I’ve got to restart somewhere. I’ll revisit where I can because we’ve had awesome trips to Wales, Ireland, the North…..and had some wonderful times with friends and family. It would be a shame not to share them…<br />
Oh..I’ve had a few problems with spam being dropped into my comments box, so I’ve put a filter on the comments now. Please still drop comments off tho…….<br />

There have been so many places we’ve been so I’ve limited it to <a href="http://www.bekonscot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Beckonscot</a> in Beckonsfield in March 2011 in one blog entry, and everywhere else in a second. I’m just glad to be back home now and start blogging again about Sharon and the kids…so without further ado….</p> <p>We went there on a fantastic sunny spring day. Perfect…couldn’t have asked for a better day before I left so we took advantage of it and had a ball.</p> <p>Beckonscot is a model village which is quite famous around the south east of England. It has certainly expanded over the last few years and is a roomy and fun day out for the family, regardless of age.</p> <p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/-Z3Lpzu39JQg/TuPdh5BWK5I/AAAAAAAABHk/eFHUoHpTYlg/s1600-h/SAM_0590%25255B3%25255D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

I'll be back in a couple of weeks for a fortnights leave then back properly in November. It's been a long time away looking back on it. I got here in April, but the 6 month training was a bit of a pain. I hardly saw them. And I have only had a few weeks with little Lucy so a big bonding session is called for when I get back. Sharon's back at home with the kids and they're are all fine but we've lost Gypsy, our cat. She went downhill quite fast so hopefully she didn't suffer.<br />
<br />
Sharon's due to go away in February 2012 for 4 months so we'll have to make the most of our 3 months together. Expect lots of stories of where we take the kids..<br />
<br />
....as usual, my work blog will be updated with pics soon.Katmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032412.post-27542798760648608742011-03-27T20:14:00.002+00:002011-03-27T20:25:40.610+00:00Co Donegal, March 2011We slipped over the border to Co Donegal a couple of times. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossnowlagh" target="_blank">Rossnowlagh</a> has a lovely beach and its only about 20 minutes drive from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kesh,_County_Fermanagh" target="_blank">Kesh</a> where we’ll be retiring to. <br />

During WW2, it housed crews of seaplanes that patrolled the North Atlantic to protect the convoys from America. Prior to that it was a stately home of the Archdale family…the grounds and buildings are magnificent.  Although the main house fell into disrepair and was demolished in 1973, the rest of the complex remains and has been restored..</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5shsJOApI/AAAAAAAABFg/t0KjWvb075c/s1600-h/SAM_0477%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0477" border="0" alt="SAM_0477" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5siJmXKbI/AAAAAAAABFk/9m9v5CR6Ji4/SAM_0477_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5siiGRzDI/AAAAAAAABFo/61UsbNhbn5w/s1600-h/SAM_0478%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0478" border="0" alt="SAM_0478" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5sjN8JrBI/AAAAAAAABFs/jy7cG8xyV-k/SAM_0478_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5sj4hm7FI/AAAAAAAABFw/LLTJPEOg9-w/s1600-h/SAM_0479%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0479" border="0" alt="SAM_0479" src="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5skdbtOrI/AAAAAAAABF0/FjX4oGz5PvE/SAM_0479_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5slY7qAWI/AAAAAAAABF4/7TZnyRpM1WM/s1600-h/SAM_0480%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0480" border="0" alt="SAM_0480" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5slltFKNI/AAAAAAAABGA/lAYR-dpDT8E/SAM_0480_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5sm717tMI/AAAAAAAABGE/pTeBFQS_2r4/s1600-h/SAM_0501%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0501" border="0" alt="SAM_0501" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5snJ3xirI/AAAAAAAABGI/zlk8U8n2Ie4/SAM_0501_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5sn0ycXGI/AAAAAAAABGM/kgWwyPxpUqE/s1600-h/SAM_0502%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0502" border="0" alt="SAM_0502" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TY5soW184cI/AAAAAAAABGQ/eKSYsfd2WhA/SAM_0502_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p>We had a lovely picnic there…and all that good country air completely trashed the kids that night</p> Katmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032412.post-67633337699013389432011-03-26T21:42:00.002+00:002011-03-26T21:50:12.046+00:00St Patricks Day, EnniskillenWe took a weeks leave to go back to Ireland and see our family and our new house. Again Sharon’s sister Denise looked after us like royalty, and nieces Laura and Elaine pampered us and really made us feel at home. Thanks to the Armstrong's for that xxx. <br />
<br />
We were lucky enough to be over for Paddys Day this year…especially so because Enniskillen had reintroduced the Paddys Day parade through the town.<br />
The kids loved it…we went with Laura together with her son Matthew, Denise and their brother Stephens kids Alex and Dillon, and Elaine….so all in all, a nice little group of going down to see Paddy arriving at Enniskillen on the boat and walking through the town.<br />
<br />
Now the parade was a bit random…there were trucks going down there that got me wondering….like one with concrete pipes on, a fleet of unmarked white vans, a completely unusual gathering of a trike, followed by a knight galloping on an imaginary horse then an old VW Beetle…I got to thinking what Paddy would actually make of it…..<br />
<br />
Anyhow, have a look at the pictures……<br />

Emily really had one thing she wanted to see at the zoo; the penguins. She has a lovely song she learnt at nursery about them…<br />
…Hannah’s favourite animals were the giraffes and gorillas, while Lucy really slept through it all……bless<br />

Where else would he be?! And then, on Christmas morning, I managed to get up earlier than the kids and get the house sorted out.   Emily and Hannah even saw Santa walking away from the house through the snow! The lucky girls! <br /> <div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdNAvNONI/AAAAAAAAA7A/QN7bUZ-_SLk/s1600-h/25-06263.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="25 0626" border="0" alt="25 0626" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdNrOVO7I/AAAAAAAAA7E/1ASCmwjSono/25-0626_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdOFpC1MI/AAAAAAAAA7I/2ppMmAI7GUU/s1600-h/25-06273.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="25 0627" border="0" alt="25 0627" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdOoDfn9I/AAAAAAAAA7M/UkJq_enAQvA/25-0627_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdPS87k2I/AAAAAAAAA7Q/qQtLQycec0U/s1600-h/25-14023.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-right-width: 0px; margin: 0px auto 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: block; float: none; border-top-width: 0px; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="25 1402" border="0" alt="25 1402" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdQK7q98I/AAAAAAAAA7U/iG9Zs3tFSCg/25-1402_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></div> It was such a magical day and the kids loved it.  Their little faces lit up when they saw Santa, then came to the stairs lit up with fairies and down to all their presents. Just a lovely memory to keep. <br />On Boxing Day, we had a chilled time and just lazed the day away….We took a walk out to feed the birds and ducks at the local pond, and a quick snowball fight on the way back home. <br /> <div style="text-align: center"><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TSjdRSU3hYI/AAAAAAAAA7Y/5L3LOkjXS0s/s1600-h/26%2001%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none;

I lost my mum in September, and gained a daughter in November. Some people say that it was nice to have Lucy born so soon after my mum passed away.  I don’t think so.  Mum loved kids….I am gutted she never met Lucy..she would have adored her. Anyway, that’s a blog for another night..</p> <p align="left">I wanted to share a couple of pictures of the girls with you anyway because they are really close to each other.  We really are blessed.</p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgXdXjkzI/AAAAAAAAA6I/J9tMjhj-HDU/s1600-h/SAM_0160%5B5%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0160" border="0" alt="SAM_0160" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgXi5o2YI/AAAAAAAAA6M/Q6YqCR3jcwI/SAM_0160_thumb%5B2%5D.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgYsqzYsI/AAAAAAAAA6Q/m_hAxxnbIXU/s1600-h/SAM_0174%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0174" border="0" alt="SAM_0174" src="http://lh3.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgY8CqvjI/AAAAAAAAA6U/SNKqFd6Jnqs/SAM_0174_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgZtv0BjI/AAAAAAAAA6Y/dQbcEr1yyW0/s1600-h/SAM_0175%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0175" border="0" alt="SAM_0175" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgaJFCbOI/AAAAAAAAA6c/PXV2oXiY_RM/SAM_0175_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="244" height="184" /></a></p> <p align="center"><a href="http://lh6.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUga8mtUSI/AAAAAAAAA6g/VTDi0X4ouQo/s1600-h/SAM_0211%5B3%5D.jpg"><img style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 5px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="SAM_0211" border="0" alt="SAM_0211" src="http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TRUgbeidW9I/AAAAAAAAA6k/MNUTqEUBmyI/SAM_0211_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" width="184" height="244" /></a></p> <p>Well, Merry Christmas to one and all and have a stress free festive holiday.</p> Katmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032412.post-91849494734602907092010-12-11T21:44:00.003+00:002010-12-11T22:25:26.784+00:00Update about Lucy and the rest of the clanI thought I’d add a few more pictures of Lucy. She’s doing really well and a picture of health. She weighed 8lb 3 oz at last weigh in so she’s progressing at a good rate.<br />

We’re staying at another Siblu resort, but a bit further south than our normal Brittany haunts around Pont Avon and Quimper. We opted for Le Bois Dormant in the Vendee area because we thought the further south you go, the hotter it’ll be. And I got to say, it was the right option! The weather is wonderfully sunny and warm/hot, beautiful long empty sandy beaches, and the resort is, well, typically Siblu………clean, organised and no bling in sight.</p><p>Anyway, the girls are all loving it………here they are………</p><p><a href="http://lh5.ggpht.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/TH1d9CAv2mI/AAAAAAAAA1M/2JvoRuBeJ8Y/s1600-h/100_3794%5B2%5D.jpg"><img style="BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px;

It was nice to revisit and let the kids see the farm animals. Emily and Hannah loved it.

We've been busy getting ourselves sorted for my move back to Wycombe. I can't wait! This will be the first time Sharon and I have served at the same unit since 2004.<br /><br />Well, as you're all aware, Sharon & I have got our plots for working abroad for the next year and we've not got anywhere too concerning so I guess that makes family & friends happy.<br /><br />Emily & Hannah both had their H1N1 jabs, Hannah has taken to being a happy slapper - which we're addressing, and Emily is just Emily. Both are just too cute for their own good.<br /><br />We're hoping to start getting round the family in England, Ireland & Wales soon so hopefully theres some photographs to share about that. I had a quick review of the blog & there's not a lot of our families on so tht will be rectified this year for sure.<br />We have some photographs of the kids for February which I'll add in the next few days.<br /><br />Peace & LoveKatmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34032412.post-35485287649761753192010-01-02T20:59:00.004+00:002010-01-02T21:22:15.364+00:00Happy New YearHappy New Year to one & all.<br /><br />It's been a while!!!.........<br /><br />Well, I reckon it was about time that I took a bit more time on the blog. 2010 will be a better year for us, especially so because I'll be working at the same unit as Sharon; the first time since 2004!<br /><br />Sharon's doing fine. As are Emily & Hannah. They both loved Christmas day. We didn't take them to midnight mass; they're far too young for that yet.<br /><br />We've been over to Fermanagh a couple of times in 2009 looking at houses. I reckon we'll find that dream house this year and then that'll be us ready for settling down there in 2012.<br /><br />Anyways, here are a few pictures of the clan from 2009.......<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2W2r9BoI/AAAAAAAAAuA/tfpaYZ1lR7M/s1600-h/100_2701.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422252980130612866" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2W2r9BoI/AAAAAAAAAuA/tfpaYZ1lR7M/s400/100_2701.JPG" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2WdR2yEI/AAAAAAAAAt4/GOohNXV4wVQ/s1600-h/100_2606.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422252973310265410" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2WdR2yEI/AAAAAAAAAt4/GOohNXV4wVQ/s400/100_2606.JPG" /></a> <img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422252968570006562" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2WLnsLCI/AAAAAAAAAtw/9ylKwh-b8r4/s400/100_2590.JPG" /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422252962955435314" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-2V2tEnTI/AAAAAAAAAto/F6Xafs_4t14/s400/100_2589.JPG" /><br /><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5422254778615131682" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mkjGpRRC6bU/Sz-3_ikE7iI/AAAAAAAAAuI/X1iWjzAXwow/s400/101_2025.JPG" /><br /><div>I'll be back each month to update the blog.....it's a New Years resolution!</div>Katmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13842656887053391613noreply@blogger.com3
