Huge album of pics from my phone. Which will probably keep growing. Most of the best ones (ie meals I have eaten) have already appeared on Facebook

Started a Garden 2010 album. Sticking it here is a bit of an incentive to pay attention to the garden for the next few months...

What happens when I get to look after the kids on a rainy weekend...

Christmas 2009. Which was all rather ace, truth be told. Sometimes it all works and everyone has a great time - and this Christmas was one of those.

Made a bit of an effort last year to take pictures of the garden as it developed over the course of 2009. So here they are.

Hastings, March 2009. The only time Al and I have got away on our own since Abby was born. Stayed at a fantastic boutique hotel on the seafront and spared no expense on some terrific dinners. Even planned it all out before in a Google Map. Proper chilled weekend.

February 2009. Can't remember better snow since I was a kiddy. Worked in the attic for three days and laughed at Hatty and Abby arsing around in it.

The Racehorse, Carshalton. My regular Saturday lunchtime contact point with the old chap. Sadly, I think I know everybody in these pictures.

Brenda Featherstone-Griffin. My Mum. Who died in 2007. Vick and I collected together as many pictures as we could find, to remind people of her life when we all collected after her funeral.

July 2006. Hatty had just been born and we wanted to get away for a couple of days. Finally decided it would be a giggle to see what Church Farm Caravan Site was like now, since I hadn't been there for decades. Four days later, we'd bought a caravan. I have no idea how this could have happened.

I got my 15 minutes of fame on the BBC 1pm news, 29/7/04. And, apparently, on the 6pm news and at various times on News 24, which means a lot of people saw it and phoned me that evening, which was nice. The Beeb shot 15 minutes of video over around 2 hours at my house in the morning, and thankfully used 20 seconds of the least embarassing material. I guess this actually means I have to find another 14' 40" of fame at some point.
