Update

First of all, I wanted to apologise for the lack of posts lately. I have a good excuse I promise!
A little while ago, our house was broken into, and our laptop was stolen, among other things. So we haven't had regular internet access since then. I lost all of the photos from our Las Vegas and Grand Canyon trip, but almost everything else had been saved to my external hard drive.
Other pictures I lost included the ones of our garden that I was saving for a big blog post, and ones that were reserved for Picture of the Day. So for the next few posts, I'll be using google images as a stand in for the lost photos.
Please bear with me as I get caught up to date, there are lots of great photos and stories to come!
We had an alarm installed for the house, and we have new, steel-enforced doors. We feel a bit safer, but still worry about leaving the house. We've been lucky to have lots of dogs to look after lately so they've provided a bit more protection as well.
Stay tuned for lots of posts...!
