Historic Norwich Walk

Last Sunday we all went for a walk around historic Norwich beginning at the most modern building, The Forum and finishing at one of it’s oldest, The Guild Hall.  Click on to my flickr link below for pictures of our walk through the city.  Click onto the Historic Norwich Walk group where you can view the pictures in a slide show.  It’s a great way to see the ‘fine City’ as it’s welcome notice boasts as you drive into the city.  The walk avoids most of the commercial areas of Norwich and even enables people who live in Norwich to see things that you have never noticed before.  If we hadn’t been showing Nick and Jon our city then we probably wouldn’t have chosen to do this walk but it is well worth doing.

Oh no, no more Jesus song!

I can’t believe it! The CD is broken. Well, to be more accurate, Jesus song is broken. Mummy has been away for work all week and so we’ve had to go about in Daddy’s car and every time it comes to Jesus song it stops working. What am I going to do? What is Daddy going to do?

Anyway, I thought I’d share a few pictures of me with my Uncle Nick and Auntie Jon (the other way around Isaac) from last weekend. On Saturday we all went to Holkham Beach for a walk. It was really windy. I had a great time watching mummy chase my hat down the beach. I really impressed Nick and Jon with my longest ever crying fit, all the way from the sea to the car park – if you know Holkham Beach, you’ll know just how far that is. Poor mummy had to carry me all the way. Sorry mummy. Here’s a few pictures of our time at the beach.

It appears that it’s going to be, yes, it’s undoubtedly going to be a very blustery day.

It might look like I’m having fun mum but just you wait.

Storm Damage

The Village of Lenwade, like most of the country, took quite a battering from the wind yesterday. A number of trees came crashing down and a few houses in the village are still without their power. Isaac and I went for a little walk around the village to assess the damage. As you can see the river has risen almost to breaking point.

I want Jesus song!

I would like to introduce you to Gerry who my mummy and daddy first met when my Godmother Nick lived in Bristol. Gerry was the worship leader at the church that Nick went to when she lived in Bristol where she became a good friend. In November 2003 mummy and daddy went on holiday with Nick, Gerry and others to Aix en Provence at a time when Gerry was putting the final preparations together for her new album called Surprising.

The CD is brilliant. So good in fact that I refuse to let mummy and daddy listen to anything else when I’m in the car. Only The Archers is an acceptable alternative. Daddy thinks that he knows the album better than Gerry does. Yet despite having listened to the CD umpteen times, they assure me that they still love it themselves; a true mark of a great album. My favourite song on the CD is the Jesus song. Actually the song is called First but that’s what I call it. The moment that we get into the car I shout ‘Jesus song, I want Jesus song’ from my seat and despite mummy and daddy’s protestations I usually win through. This is what one reviewer has to say about Gerry -

‘She leads with an attitude of personal worship rather than performance and a keen awareness of what is going on and how the Holy Spirit is moving through the meeting and on top of all that she has a fantastic vocal range and voice.’

Check out Gerry’s own website where you can read her biography and purchase her CD’s. www.geraldinelatty.com

When Nick and Jon got married in April Gerry sat on our table. Unfortunately, not knowing who she was then I rather embarrassed myself (not to mention my parents) by throwing a spoon across the table clattering into the many glasses that were laid out for the wine and champagne.

Oh, one last thing if you get to read this blog entry Gerry, Daddy says please please please can you produce another CD soon before the album title changes from Surprising to Predictable.

New Year Greetings from Isaac

Well, another year rolls on. 2007. What joys and surprises will this year bring I wonder? Firstly, I’ve just learnt that I’m going to be going to Nursery as from next week, just for Tuesday mornings I’m assured. Should be a blast. Hopefully I”ll be allowed to go in my new Fireman’s outfit which Auntie Denise and Uncle Paul bought me for Christmas.

I had a great Christmas and I really wanted to say thank you to everyone who gave me presents. I’m really getting the hang of receiving gifts from people. In November I had lots of presents for my birthday and the following month yet more gifts. I can’t wait for what January is going to bring. I thought that you might like to see a few pictures of me playing with some of my new acquisitions – as you will see I appear to have an artistic talent beyond my years.

“Can you see what it is yet?” Move over Rolf.

Temples are my current speciality – Thanks to Uncle Jonathan and Auntie Sylvie for my brio blocks.

I had a great time over the New Year as well because we all went to spend the weekend with my Uncle Kevin, Auntie Sarah and my cool cousin Eleanor.

Apparently, my mummy didn’t go to bed until 5.30 on New Year’s Day. Strangely enough she wasn’t very good company on the way home that day, although by the looks of it she provided great entertainment on the night. Thanks to Kevin and Sarah for cooking us a crackalacking meal for New Year’s Eve.
