Finally Back Online

Well its been a while since the last post. Unfortunatley my bag inculding laptop, ipod etc got stolen which resulted in us being out of action on the blogging and skype front for quiet some time. But all is good now... most of our files were backed up on the external harddrive - thank feck - and most of our music and photos were saved which made the blow less painful. So for all of you who dont back up onto an external drive... go and do it!!!! It is too painful to lose half your memories...

So whats been happening since the last post??? I guess highlights in those last months were our house warming party, our trip to Brittany to visit my granny, Tyler's visit, our trip to Oz for Sally & Tylers wedding, Sallys 40th bday, my 30th in Mullum and our short trip to Sardinia last weekend.

So here first of all a picture from the house warming - with a traditional bbq in the middle of winter!


This is in Brittany, around the corner from where my granny lives. This was during our Easter Break. We jumped on the Eurostar to Paris and from Paris with the TGV to Vannes. We ate loads of fish, seafood, cheese, saucisson... and drank loads of wine & champagne. In only 3 days we managed to pile on some serious weight but well worth it...

My gran lives right on the beach. This is the beach at her doorstep. My brother and i spent most of our school summer holidays here.
Mamie, Michele (my mum's sister who lives in Amsterdam) and me. The 3 generations...

The next pictures were taken when Borgus came and stayed with us on his Cruise trip to Londonia. A damm fine reason to celebrate!!! Woody joined us that weekend tooa and came up from Kent.And the good old selftimer picture...
After Tyler's visit it was our turn to jet off again and this time direction Hamburg to see the newest edition to the Pongs-clan. Little Faris was born in March and is my brother's third child. He's got Oskar and Klara with their mum Anna. He now is in a new relationship with Ranja and they have together little Faris. Faris is a Syrian name and is pronounced 'Far-is'.
Below, Oskar & Faris.
This Klara with her new brother...

And uncle Col with Klara...

In May we finally headed Down Under to see our closest friends, Sally & Tyler, getting married. OOOHHHH yeeeeaaaahhhh!!! After a 24 hour flight to BrisVegas, Col and I went straight into the hens and bucks night and survived sort of unharmed... With the bucks and hens over... the big countdown was on and the first mutants started to arrive and gather at the famous Hazlewood St. First special guest was Manta Ray Jane who brought with her some left over boils from her recent trip to Columbia. I think the picture speaks for itself!
Next to arrive were Ash and a visit from DJ Pooch.
