The rollercoaster of living in London. Come & take a ride with us :-)

We've moved to new servers!

Well I finally decided to take the plunge and move the blog to a more reliable server. Let's see how it goes. In the next few weeks I will probably convert the whole blog into using wordpress.

What did we do Bank Holiday Weekend?

A week before the Salvador concert Tomás, Liz & I headed up to see Dave & Sarah in Durham (North East). I took the friday off and we flew up on Thursday evening - needless to say it was a great time had by all.





On Saturday Dave & I did some Kite buggying in the morning (no photos I'm afraid) and in the afternoon we headed to Hadrian's wall. Check out the pics below.

Pentecost Festival - Salvador Concert

Both Liz & I are big fans of this band called Salvador and finally they come to London for the 1st time ever! Here's a video I found on YouTube - all I can say is that it was probably the best gig I've ever been to in my entire life.



After the concert we had a coffee and on the way to the tube station, guess who we saw in the street - the Salvador boys. Check out the pic below:

From Snow to Sun

Well for some reason I had it in my head I had posted something since the last one. Obviously not! We have been enjoying ourselves a bit. A friend of ours turned the big 30 last week and Mike and I booked a babysitter for the night. The theme of the bar was Hawaiian and there were plenty of bold colours splashing about the place both in the dress and the drinks. It made for a very different night, especially being close to Elephant and Castle in south London :)

Since then we have had some fantastic weather making everywhere seems so much happier. One saturday we took Tomás to the local park where there are some water fountains which he really enjoyed and proceeded to get drenched. I have some pictures of the before water and after, but I need to find the camera first! I will be back to post them....
