My first blog ..... wowowowowow

Hello Hallo (I still do not know which one is correct)!

Nell, you have all of my support ..... yesterday I was in bed with 39.5 dgrees of fever (that the way I celebrated my first year in England)! My phone dropped our nice conversation but I promise to replace it. Not only as a revenge, but also because it has numbers as big as my glasses (maybe it is a phone for old people) and because the signal is pretty bad! You and Martin sounded like calling from the house of frogs!

Well .... just to say I'm happy to be part of the family!

PS: can we add an option "check spelling" .... I'm still afraid of what I can write or mis-write!

First day at work

A complete disaster. I never even made it into work. I woke up around 6am feeling extremely nauseous. The inevitable ensued (I'll spare you the details) and spent the rest of the day and night in bed. Managed to drag myself in today to do some administrative stuff. Fortunately everyone was very understanding. I can't believe that my first sick day was also my first day of a new job.

Lovely to hear from you all - Martin said he's going to load some more party pics, later this weekend.

Hello Both,

I can't say I have ever blogged before, so this feels a little weird..............Great to hear your news. The pictures of your hike are fabulous and I am very jealous that you have walks like that at so close by (I am not going to show the pictures to Maurice because it will make him home sick). Your place looks very lovely and comfortable.

All is well here, other than we all have colds and flu! Callum is sleeping though.........well, most of the night. It's Maurice's big 35 next weekend and we are going out on the town to celebrate -- we thought we'd be really wild and go out for dinner and a movie. =)

Callum points out your car in the morning and then asks "if we can go see Nell and Martin".

We miss you.

Mandy

Greetings from Glossop

Hello Everybody.

Nell's Mom & Martin's mother-in-law

And he's from Hull......

SOme of you guys may have heard of this man - Karl Bushby.

He's trying to walk round the world. I've just seen a tv programme about his crossing of the Bering Straits on foot. In seven years or so, I'll be able to greet him as he arrives in Hull.

Cool

Hi,

Cool to be able to "see" you and your lives. Martin looks very British in the photos. The pics are a good incentive for us Canucks to visit.

In the past month, I've gotten a web cam, transferred my whole life to Google, and now I'm commenting on a blog. You'd think it were the 21st century or something.

Take care,
Jody

Thanks for the invite

This is all totally new for me, but it does seem a good way to keep in touch easily so I'm game to give it a go. It was wonderful to see your pics...your hike shots are gorgeous! Hope you're all settling in and getting a feel for the place now. Found a good pub yet? That always helps ...

I'll try to get the photo bit figured out and post some pics soon. Iain learned how to skate over the past week or so. He's Very Determined to be a hockey player. I'm not so keen on it...very expensive sport and you have to get up really early every weekend. Oh well, he's only 3 yet, I'm sure he'll have a few more desperate desires along the way.
