Kerstin's 30th Birthday Weekend

Here are some photos of my 30th birthday weekend. Thanks to everyone who came along

(from near and far) to help celebrate and make this such an awesome weekend.

Catching up and drinking lots of tea.

The Big Freeze

The new year brought us lots of snow here in Swindon. Some were very happy about it: for example the children, who didn't have to go to school and could build snowmen instead. Some were less happy: such as the people who were struggling to get to work or who were relying on services such as post delivery or rubbish collection. Lindsay managed to work from home and Kerstin and the girls went out for a few nice walks through the winter wonderland.

Our house all covered in snow.

The path leading up to "our" playground.
