Terrible twos

Oh dear...not getting what he wants, but it's all over in a jiffy.

Another engine (or two)

I think Alex did something really good (apart from using the potty). We got Rocky the crane and the store gave another one away free!! Here is Alex holding Paint Splattered Thomas (aka Dirty Thomas).

It's snowing!!

As built by Alex. It snowed on Thursday morning, very heavily. Half of the UK never got to work. and nearly all the schools/nurseries were closed. About 6-8cm fell.

In Belgium

Today I shall be staying with Chris O and talking to a speaker called Erik. Chris has a lovely place and loads of beer or wine.

A trip to Italy - Udine

Went, with Julie, to see Biofarmia, the skin care product people. We stayed at Ambassador Palace Hotel, Udine which was nice. The town is old and pretty. It took 20 minutes to get their from the factory and nearly 2 hours to find our way out of the town in the right direction. Next time GPS in the rental car will be madatory.

Windy day

Two panels of the fence blew down. It was a couple of days of storms. A bit tough since I do not want to spend much on repairs as we are moving.

Tenerife for a couple of days

Got to be one of my favourite hotels. Check it out if you are in the area or try the Hotel Bahia Del Duque link.
Before this it was presentations to the Dutch in MK, German speakers in Heidleberg - all grey wet and windy weather. I travelled with Doug B and Patrick M. We arrived late at night. I was so pleased and happy to wake up and see blue skies and sun.
