Parkrun

Clara ran her 50th Parkrun today and Cam got a PB, 22:15.  Well done both of you.

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

Grandma took us and the Spains to The Rose Theatre, Kingston to see the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with Kate Tydman as the White Witch, she was very good and has a great singing voice.

The lion had some odd movements - more monkey than lion, the White Witch had a strange moment with Maugrim - stroking his bald head!  But worth a watch.

Happy New Year

Goodbye 2014. We've had a great year: Clara's had another successful dance show with Duets, started a new school at Invicta and joined a football team. Cam's doing really well at school getting good grades and being elected as Student Voice representative, he joined Bearsted football team and passed his piano exam at grade 3.  Pingala continues to go from strength to strength with a good team in place to take new ideas forward in 2015. We've had some great holidays, done some great things and had good times.

We ended 2014 at Cobdown Sports and Social Club with the Martins, the Smiths, the Goldings and the Girlings.

Lots of dancing (the younger members of the families even joined in after a while), a few drinks, some nibbles and a rendition of Auld Lang Syne.

 

Happy New Year everyone. Welcome 2015 - we've already got some great things planned - Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe with Grandma Saturday, Centre Parcs in February...

 

We're looking forward to another exciting year.
