Farewell, Devoil
Uncategorized - 1 year ago
I attended the funeral of my nearest blood relative (barring of course, my daughter) in New Zealand today. Bob Archer was my dad’s cousin and as I found out today, like me, he emigrated from the UK to be with his sweetheart. He received military honours at the service, with members of Bob’s local Returned and Services’ Association centre in attendance.

We’ve been toying with the idea of updating the kitchen, and who knows, altering or extending the back of the house one day. After visiting a kitchen showroom recently and and getting the brush-off because we didn’t want a lucrative full refit, I’ve decided to visualise the kitchen myself in 3D using Google’s free SketchUp.

It was Emily’s first birthday today, and amongst a multitude of other gifts she got this big red trike. We can’t believe it’s been a year since she was born, and it’s a such a cliché, but it’s true – it does go by too fast. She’s been so happy and easy-going, and we feel so blessed to have her. Happy birthday, gorgeous.
