Before lunch on Thursday, we took a brief walk around Faversham which is a very pretty market town. (click on small pictures for bigger ones) Faversham is probably most well-known for the Shepherd Neame Brewery which was founded in 1698 and is a great favourite of pao’s. He loves real ale so enjoys a pint [...]
I borrowed this meme from Chris. All you have to do is list the first sentence you wrote on your blog each month of 2006. January I woke up this morning with a bit of a headache but feeling much improved. I had flu which started on Christmas Day and lasted two whole weeks – [...]

Unlike Maidstone who had different organisations decorating trees, their theme was Christmas Carols. Here are a few of my favourites: [...]
How did that happen? Two days away?! Today would have marked our sixth anniversary with Jasper and I have missed him more than I could have possibly imagined. To try and take my mind off this, I have been trying to focus on Christmas but it is hard not to hear him yowling at Merlin [...]
Jasper seems to think that we need to say a Minnesota goodbye as our chai latte and mince pie goodbye wasn’t good enough. About an hour after we departed from Mrs H-B’s yesterday, Jasper hefted a sofa out of the way of the cat flap, proceeded to pick the lock on the cat flap, let [...]
