New Start!


I've been very bad about posting here in the last while. Life is quite boring so I think I've nothing much to share! So what is new with us?
I still have Me and so am ill a lot of the time. the children however are growing like mad and doing very well.
Last summer Alex my oldest son went to Uganda for 6 weeks to stay with my brother in Bwindi Forest and travel round in Uganda. He was 16 when he went so it was very brave travelling alone. He did and saw loads. He managed to see Elephants, which is very rare even for the workers there, the gorillas again usually people don't see them only researchers or tourists who pay a fortune. He also saw things like lions and hippos.
He also managed a bit of travel and even went white water rafting on the Nile! It was a level 6 I believe which if Id known in advance I might have worried about..anyway he was fine!
Now he is busy with 6th form and wanting to get into Medical school.
He's also volunteering in an old peoples home, working in Pizza Hut, swimming weekly and running in a 10 km soon.
Jordan and his band tried out for Britain's Got Talent this year but they weren't even watched. Seeing the show on TV now I'm convinced they only pick the best and worst to go in front of the judges and bands hardly ever get through to that.
He has been in Grease in a school production, and did a Dance course...He has such talent!
Ramsey my youngest is also doing well. Recently he had a pile of teeth out in hospital so I was there holding his hand, but he has recovered very fast.He won a certificate in school this week for an English piece which for him is fantastic achievement. He has also just learned to swim!
Currently Im with my parents again and its raining....LOL
Oh yes enjoyed the Royal wedding last week very much! We were glued to the set!
Wish them all the happiness in the world!!


Now for some photos from Uganda and Alex's trip last summer.
