I'm back.

A lot has happened since May when I last posted and each time I went to post it was all too big to put into one small update. 

These three girls explain my absence online.  Helen on the left Rose on the right and Tamirie in the front are the new additions to our family.  Bert and I legally adopted them from Ethiopia on July 18th 2012.  It has been an "interesting" six months getting them settled and we still have a very long way to go.  However, when I consider 6 months ago these girls had never eaten with a knife and fork, never seen hot water come out of a tap, and they could speak no english... I am amazed at how far they have come. 

I have promised my lovely friend Renee that I will update more often, so watch this space!
