Month end catch up - fully illustrated!

Well, it has been another busy month chez Robinson, or chez this particular Robinson. I spent a aweek in The Netherlands, a week in Dublin, Ohio and then a week in bed with tonsilitis. Any connection, d'ya think?

Dublin was snowy. In fact, they'd had the worst snowfall since 1910 the weekend before I arrived. Anyway, usual round of looong meetings, but lovely company in the evenings. First pic of a fantastic evening at Jennifer and Scott's home, complete with homemade Missisippi Mud Pie in honour of Jenny's (not Jennifer the hostess) b'day.



The week ended on a bit of a frustrating note......the short version includes the clocks changing in Ohio, but not in Colombia, a videoconference, changing flights and the equipment breaking down. End result - an extra night in Dublin, but a visit to a lovely french restaurant! Bet you're intrigued now! HOme, and the afore mentioned bout of illness, and then.....it was Easter.


Laura's hair is now long enough to scrape (!) in to the world's tiniest pony tail. This makes her very happy:




We had an indoor easter egg hunt this year ( and yes, she is wearing shoes with her nightie. We bought them the day before.)



Mummy got a very big egg for Easter:



And it snowed:

Easter 2007


Well, I seem to be managing one post per month at the moment - excellent going!


Easter was lovely this year - good weather and good company. We were very pleased to ahve been able to persuade Vronni to venture north for the first time in 18 months. On saturday the boys went to Newcastle for the day, so the girls did the thing they are best at - shopping. We were going to "do lunch" while in town, but we were seduced by the weather and had a picnic instead.


Sunday saw the Easter Bunny doing his business in Nana's garden. We took advantage of mum and dad's larger premises and had lunch at theirs as well. V and I cooked dinner, which was the easy bit - keeping Mum OUT OF THE KITCHEN was the challenge.
