The 24th of August was Di's 60th birthday. To celebrate Claire and Kerry hosted a family party at their house with Matt, B and Evan as well as me and Leah, and John and Di of course. It was a fantastic night, and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Fantastic food, great fun and Evan running around non-stop.

Leah was given some tickets to see Shakespeare's "12th Night" at the Open-air Theatre inside Regent's Park. The show was great, much funnier than we expected and we are able to follow it surprisingly well. We had a fantastic time, and would like to go again.

Rich and Louise's wedding was gorgeous and the weather was amazing. The ceremony was held at the Sculpture Gallery at Woburn Abbey (about an hour north of London) and the reception was in the backyard of Louise's parents house, where they set up two marquees.

The day after Rich and Louise's wedding we joined Dewi and Rhi for a trip to Cambridge. The actual town is really pretty and quaint, and the university colleges are amazing. We had a great day, and especially loved punting down Cam river.

Here are some pictures of our lovely house in Wales that we share with Leah's parents John and Diane. They were taken on a cloudy day so they aren't as good as they could have been, but you get they will do.

The Easter break was a great chance for us to see historic York and Durham on the same trip. York is about 5 and a half hours away with Durham a further 90 minutes. The main reason we wanted to see them was for the magnificent Cathedral's, but there was much more to see than we could fit into a single trip.

Faced with a Saturday afternoon of doing nothing, we decided to get out and enjoy some fresh air. We didn't pick the greatest of days though, very rainy and cloudy. More so in the moutains of the Brecon Beacons National Park. That didn't stop as though, and three and half hours later and some tremendous scenery, we were well and truly stuffed.

One part of the Brecon Beacons National Park we hadn't been to yet was the Waterfalls region. The loop walk takes a few hours and covers about 4 falls in total, the best being the Sgwd-yr-Eira which you can walk behind.

Not long after we had arrived in the UK, there was a significant snow fall. The Brecon Beacons National Park is only half an hour down the road, so John (Leah\'s father) and I went down to have a look at the snow there. We were not disappointed!

One of the things that we didn't get to see in Cardiff when we where here in 2004 was St Fagans, the Museum of Welsh Life. It\s a brilliant look back at Welsh life through the years, and a great way to spend a lazy Saturday afternoon.

The ruins of Tintern Abbey lie in the scenic Wye Valley, about an hour away. The Abbey was massive as you see from what's left. We just don't have this sort of thing in Australia.

On a beautiful sunny day in July Leah didn\t feel like going to work. So, we thought we'd spend the day at the beach. Nash Point is truly beautiful, and it\s only half an hour away from where we live.

Near the top of my list of things to do in the UK was see a major film star perform in a West End theatre production. Seeing Ewan McGregor in Guys and Dolls well and truly accomplished that!

Porthcawl is a seaside town about half an hour away. It's the surf capital of Wales and much better place to visit in the summer, but we had fun checking it out all the same.

The May Day long weekend gave us the opportunity to spend some time away. What better place than Cornwall, the sun and surf capital of the UK?

To celebrate the release of Episode III, the final Star Wars episode, London's Leicester Square played host to a whole array of Star Wars activities. The theatres there were playing all five of the released Star Wars films all day, with the premiere of Episode III taking place that night. Naturally, I had to go and check it out. Unbelievably, a raffle was drawn at the completion of the Episode II session that we saw, and we won tickets for the premiere! We got to walk down the red carpet and everything, spotting George Lucas and Hayden Christensen.

A Sunday with nothing to do resulted in a visit to Carreg Cennen castle. It sits on top of a cliff, a truly magnificent location. Unfortunately a lot of the castle has been removed (people were paid to remove it brick by brick to get rid of a gang that had taken up residence), but it still was great to see.

The Forest of Dean is one of the most beautiful places in the UK. We got really lucky with the weather the day we decided to go, which made the 1 and half hour trip there well worth it. We completed the Sculpture Walk, which goes past various sculptures and creations.

Our second holiday in Pembrokeshire, St Davids lies right on the very western tip of Wales. Its a beautiful place with a stunning Cathederal. This part of the UK is gorgeous, with beautiful beaches and clear water. We walked a tiny bit of the Pembrokeshire Coast Walk here and loved it so much that we hope to do a bigger stretch next summer.
