Other big event was heading up north to catch up with Toadboy, Zarah and baby Max. We booked a cottage on a farm an hour north of Newcastle in Alnmouth - which turned out to be a fantastic idea, as there was a combination of cows, beaches, fish and chips, Alnwick gardens, and a fabulous old second hand bookshop all within 10-15 minutes drive.
Unsurprisingly, the new parents (Max was 8ish weeks then) were a bit frazzled, but seem to be doing alright. Max seems quite cute for someone who is clearly going to be the Doom Of Us All.
Children were taken to a petting farm, where much moo's and baa's were successfully identified. Beaches were seen and fish-and-chip piranha's fed.

Other stuff: I seem to find myself travelling back to Watford, much to my surprise. Though I'm going to have to sort out a bike for the last leg, to try and cut the commuting time. I've got my eye on a Dahon Jack D7, but I'm going to have to wait for the gadget budget to recover from the pad purchase.
