Easter Weekend

With Taavi's hufamily off on boat somewhere in the middle of the the Pacific and, in all probability with no internet access, the chances of them reading this before their return to the UK is pretty remote - however ....

Easter Saturday saw Taavi and I take a trip into Rugby to collect 2 house guests who had made the trip up from Herts to visit Taavi - a somewhat stress full trip for them as once again the railway service was disrupted - something about "an incident" - pft.

The 2 girls were delighted to see Taavi again, he too seemed pleased to see them. On our return they were introduced to Mylo and Kiva and then it was off on a walk - made so much easier with 3 pairs of hands to handle the 3 dogs. With Louise back from her trip to Holland the evening was pleasant and relaxed with the dogs chilled.

Sunday saw us take a trip up to Birmingham for a mini Lappy gathering in Sutton Park - I say mini but in the end there were 10 Lappies (plus owners) including 2 of Taavi's sisters. Time flew and 3 hours later it was time to drop our house guests back at the station for their train journey home. Pictures of the walk can be seen here http://www.flickr.com/photos/phelpsville/

Taavi is in there somewhere, honest

The dogs were shattered - also somewhat dirty as they all wanted to dive into the pools of black mud on their walk - no matter they had fun, as did we. The only time they stirred all evening was when dinner was served, roast chicken and all the trimmings - quickly dispatched they again settled down ....

Lappy days

Galapagos is really amazing!!
we have seen a live volcano, so much marine life snorkelling off beautiful beaches and so much wildlife to look at up close and personal!! cant believe we have been away 3 weeks. Glad Taavi is having such a great time and was able to see his sisters!! We cant wait to see him again!
