Watermead Park

A rare sunny day so we headed somewhere new to stretch our legs today. This place is right next to the Grand Union Canal as it heads into Leicester. Loads of lakes and walks (and geese). Next time we will take the bikes as there are lots of cycle tracks and plenty of space to cycle (bit windy today for it). Nice to feel the breeze in my 'tache!

Do I look Italian in this?

In order to look as much like my character as possible by opening night, I have started to grow a moustache. This is it one week on (oh, alright then - 9 days). Click here to see what I am aiming for - Captain Alberto Bertorelli. I'll try to keep you posted over the coming weeks on progress - I think I need to drink tomato feed though!

Rutland Water

We decided to get some fresh air yesterday, as it looked like it was going to be the only dry day for a while. So we went for a potter round Rutland Water. We couldn't go far because Joe twisted his ankle at cubs playing dodgeball on Tuesday and it is still giving him problems. In fact it was so cold that we only lasted a few minutes before jumping back in the car and heading home for a cuppa!

Brother Reindeer

People often mistake me for Noel, or vice versa, or else assume we are brothers. Can't see it myself!
