This is our new apartment that we have moved into for the next two and a half months. It's so great to be on the Clyde River and watch all the ships, boats and birds (heaps of ducks and swans) cruise by. At least we get to live in a bit of luxury before we start living out of a campervan and tent in July!

Sam and I and Hamish and Celia (our friends from NZ) are the proud new owners of a 1981 VW Campervan for our '07 summer tour of Europe......... should be fun times ahead!



Sam sitting on the seats that convert into a double bed. He is also sitting next to the little wooden cupboard which has a little fridge/freezer, gas cooker and sink - we will be in camper heaven!

This is how high the inside of the van is - plenty of room to move about. The carpeted space behind my head also converts into a double bed.

Isn't she a wee beauty!!!

This is the arrival of Georgia (the "little" girl I used to Nanny when she was 10 -13 years old - although she is not so "little" anymore) and her friend Finn. They both came to stay with me for the Easter break. Here are a few pics of our crazy and fun night out on Saturday night..............







The girls enjoying a cocktail at my favourite bar Kushion, which lives up to its name with lots of low wooden candle-lit tables surrounded by bright colourful cushions and funky chairs......


Here are a few of Sam's rubgy pics........

The boys getting ready to load the bus for an away game up in Thurso, top of Scotland

Sam and Snowy watching Scotland kill Wales at Murrayfield

The team enjoying a bus trip back to Glasgow after a win away in Thurso!


Sam and Jamie ( one of the boys ) in Thurso


The last game of the season which the boys won by 25-17 against the team that was top of the table!! The win kept them up in the league!! A great effort by the boys and also by Sam who scored 2 sneaky tries!!!

These photos are hilarious (everytime I look at them I have to laugh).
Sam and Jeff visited the Glasgow Science Centre and had their photos taken on a special machine that creates an image of what you might have looked like as a child and what you can expect to look like as an old person. Here are the scary results............





A couple of weeks ago Dad, Jackson and I snuck in a quick 4 day trip to Bournemouth, England. We had a fantastic time catching up with all the family and doing a bit of sightseeing.

We even managed to squeeze in a day trip to see Stone Henge (on one of the coldest days known to man kind - it was freezing)!


The hand of God at a cool Catherdral we visited near Stone Henge.....

The faces of Angels!!!
