Sampling Route 66

We went to a new burger joint in Douglas called Route 66 today. It’s note quite new, because the outlet has been moving from one place to another in the Isle of Man over the years. The great thing about it is that it’s not a franchise, but a personal business so there’s a certain…

Weekend alone

It’s nice to have some time alone sometimes, but Camille and Arthur are down in Malta for a wedding and I’m actually missing the chaos and fun that a three-year old brings to the game and, well, I’m looking forward to the mess and disruption the twins will bring about when the arrive. Anyway, Camille…

Giving away the beamer

2004-2006 Mazda MPV photographed in USA.

Well, with twins on the way, we’ve decided we need a new car. We currently have an old BMW and a Jaguar, but really need a 7-seater MPV now. Space for the 3 kids and their bicycles, or visiting relatives or anything else that may be needed. We like both cars, but really need the…

Mother’s Day is coming up

It’s Mother’s Day this weekend and although we have Sunday lunch all planned out, we still need to make our cards and more importantly a gift. There’s loads of options available, but I know Camille prefers something hand made to something bought in the shop (guess I won’t be buying her eye cream again). So…

What’s the decor like?

I’ve just been looking around our bedroom and realise that I could possibly add a bit to the decor. It’s a typical bedroom, you know, with a bed, wardrobe, drawers and all the other bits, but it doesn’t seem to have the character you tend to get in some bedrooms. You know, some bedrooms have…

Starting to prepare for the twins

We had a scan this week which was all positive; we’re over the moon that the twins are doing fine. It’s still quite early, but we’re already starting to make plans, including moving away from the plan of a cruise for our 10th anniversary. It will be too close to the due date for comfort,…

Arthur at the gym

We had a party today which was held and a local gymnasium and it was great to see Arthur playing around, jumping all over the place and running all over. He had a whale of a time and we’re going to see if we can get him in there on a more regular basis. It…
