This week I’ve been on two training courses – both courtesy of Living Social – one to learn about WordPress (web design & build, on which we’ve designed and built this blog site) and one an SLR photography course.

I can’t quite believe that we’ve created a website and blog for our grand adventure plans. What a good feeling, it makes it feel real!
We’ve talked about something like this almost since the children came along but only recently everything seems to have fallen into place and we’ve decided the time is now!! More
