Cheese and Wine... and Wigs!


For our 3rd annual Cheese & Wine party, we decided it would be fun to add a little twist. Here are a few pictures.

Pearl Jam pictures


I've uploaded a few pictures from the Pearl Jam concert we went to back at the end of September. Apologies for the quality but our camera is pretty old and bulky so we don't usually take it places - these pics were taken with Steph's phone which was all we had. Still, hopefully they catch a bit of the atmosphere. It was a bit of a wish come true for Steph as she'd always wanted to see them live but never had. I'm not a fan of Pearl Jam as such, but I still enjoyed it. They played for 2 hours 15 minutes, so we certainly got our value for money. Even after the second encore when the lights came up, they still kept playing :) A top evening. We also saw Kings of Leon at the same venue a couple of weeks earlier, but sadly we took no pictures of that.

More allotment pictures


I've uploaded some more pictures to Flickr from our allotment recently, so I thought I'd post a few links:


We haven't been down to the allotment too much recently because the weather has turned somewhat cold and wet, but there is a work day on Sunday so perhaps I will try and snap a few pics then. Everything is mostly just dying anyway at the moment :)

Steph's parents visit


Steph's parents came to visit us recently. They spent a week on a road trip through the Rockies, and then joined us for 10 days in Vancouver. They had superb weather throughout, and had a very enjoyable holiday I think. We hired a car for one long weekend and did a bunch of day trips to different places around Vancouver. We also spent plenty of time buying, cooking and eating food :) It was lovely having them to stay.

I've uploaded some pictures from their visit to Flickr. You can see them here.
