The Wiltshire Christmas Cottage


B booked a cottage for the few days around Christmas this year. It was inspired. Here's a shot of it. We stayed in Downton (here's a map), which is one the edge of The New Forest. The cottage is owned by the couple next door- Richard and Judi- who invited over for drinks with their family on Boxing Day. We did a few walks around the surrounding countryside, while C stayed warm in his bear suit. I've uploaded some of the other pictures to flickr.

She arrives!

Dorothy Wijnanda Park has finally arrived. A healthy, petite (6lb, 7 oz) baby was born at 1:18 pm today, 28th of June. Baby and mother are both recovering from the delivery at Kingston Hospital in fine form.
