Going to update the blog as it has been months!!

Where to start??

In May we went to Brighton for a few days. We were going to a wedding so decided to stay for a few days.

Arrived Wednesday afternoon to stay in a flat in Hove. First we went out to look around Hove and Brighton and then went for a meal at pizza express- the favuorite food!!

The next day Iain's cousin Alan (know as Aldo) got married to Sakeria.

 Getting ready

The civil ceremony took place at Brighton Bandstand. Here are some photos.

Easter holidays- Visit from some Wallace's!

Andy, Lizzie, Heather and Daniel came to stay for a few days on their way back from France.

We went for a walk in Sulham woods.

We found a swing

The children went to Ganny and Granddad's house for a few days. They went Ice skating. Well done to Granny who went on the ice with them!!

Easter holidays
Iain and I went home and left the children with the Grandparents. We both had lots of work so we needed some childcare!!
