A much needed quiet week here in Ralston... Ben & Olivia back at school, Charlie back at nursery, Leigh back at 'work'. I say 'work' as he has been away on an advanced skiing course for the last 5 days doing very silly things like double black runs and off-piste stuff! Not at all envious! So it's been a pretty steady week. Ben is back playing ice hockey
twice a week and if the kids are not at the ice rink then they are sledging down Higgins Hill which is just next to the school. What's even better is that I can see it from the window here at home so I don't have to go! Leigh is back tomorrow and is picking up our very own Mary Poppins (AKA Granny Plymouth, (my Mum)!) en-route. Mum is flying out for two weeks to see us all, and give Leigh and I a bit of a break. So taking full advantage of this rare opportunity, Leigh and I are off to Las Vegas for 5 days on Sunday. Yipeeeee! Hopefully we will win some money whilst we are there to pay for our current lifestyle! Failing that, Leigh will be back out on the Prairie for 6 months during the summer! So by popular demand, (and the coincidence of a boring week!) I'm posting recent pictures of Olivia & Charlie... and won't mention myself playing ice hockey or skiing! Hee Hee! I'll blog from Vegas if not before...
