Five years along

Today (29th January) is our fifth anniversay..when it became certain, no turning back, that the boy was going to live with me permenantly...or at least until he grows up enough to venture out into the big world. So I thought I would take this opportunity to post some pictures from the last half decade (sorry utterly self-indulgent)...every day has been an amazing experience...and I'm not sure who's learnt more...



Xmas in Megeve...just a month before everything changed

On Newport Transporter Bridge the day after his mum's funeral. If you've never been on a transporter bridge do try it



With his sister in Portsmouth...one of the few times I managed to get them together



First time on a motorbike...monkey bike



And with Charlie Boorman



That sinking feeling - nearly learning to sail



Under the arches - living in Borough



Winning the javelin sports day



erm Madonna, outside our office



Camel riding in Egypt



Three generations



At the Natural History Museum...can you see the second face?



Better than a bike any day



Rugby...his great love as a half-welshman



Another great love...in Megeve



Giants Causeway...man and boy



Portmeiron this summer



And that's enough!
