Spring

New kind of snow!! The first signs of Spring have arrived- thank goodness!!! Beautiful white blossoms cover the trees and the petals cover the pavement...


Girl's Night!!

Girl's night @ my house- from the LHS- Tarryn, Hether, Karen, Lezanne and Marionelle. (The guys were all at men's camp for the weekend) We had an awesome time together, just being girls- noise levels were very high!! I made lasagne for supper and Marionelle made a delicious pudding. We all got into our pj's very quickly after covering the lounge floor with mattresses and bedding. We watched 'Little Miss Sunshine' and everyone slept over. It was such fun! Who said married women can't have girl's nights and sleepovers?!

Weekend with uncle Bruce and aunty Joan

We had a very special weekend at uncle Bruce and aunty Joan. They are like our parents in the UK. Aunty Joan always spoils us with delicious food. We went for a 2 mile walk around Eton collage's rowing club. This club will be used for the 2012 Olympics in London.

Valentines Day in London

Romance is obviously blossoming in London! I couldn't believe how many people were carrying big bunches of red roses in the rush hour tube traffic... it gave a brief glimpse into the lives of the all the nameless people i brush past every day.


My Valentine




Roses are red

Ernst made a delicious 3 course meal, which we enjoyed with sparkling rose and candles.

Snow again!!

We woke up to 15cm of snow and a breath taking winter wonder. It was so cool to hear the crunch of fresh snow under our feet as we walked to work.


Branches in the snow

Nothing left uncovered


Up close




Mr Frost

Ernst and I specially left for work earlier than usual so that we had time to play in the snow :o)

Re fresh

The next few photos were taken at a woman's camp called 're fresh' that i went to for the weekend. It was an awesome time of relaxation, connecting with friends and spiritual input.


Mirage Image

If you look carefully you'll see that everything has it's own reflection, except for the tree which looks reflected...


Firelight




Me, Marionelle and Karen

Marionelle, Karen, Lezanne and i spent lots of time together at camp. We had the most amazing time with lots of laughing (and crying)and getting to know each other better. This picture was taken (by me) after breakfast in the winter sunshine.


Lee Valley

We all stayed in wooden bungalows at Lee Valley which is in Cheshunt
