Yes George is back from Ireland and she brought loads of goodies with her! I thought I'd list a few of the best bits from her luggage to give you an idea of what we're missing out here...
1) 5 kilos of traybakes!!! give it up for Ulster scran... you guys rock! Gillian thanks so much for the rocky road things and the white chocolate marshmallow things and yer man from the coffee shop provided some ace caramel squares, malteaser sqaures, lemon tops (my absolute favourite!) and 15s... wow.
2) A new laptop - totally tiny, and only 1.5 kilos. OK I'm a techie gadget boy, but this thing is brilliant and I've spent all week getting it set up and ready for the road when I strate heading off to remote parts of Nepal. It has a 9 hour battery!!! Totally fantastic.
3) An electric blanket - now this is sheer luxury - when we have electricity this thing is awesome... dual controlled and it turns itself off! I can't imagine what I did before we had it, no more icy cold beds for us.
4) Gobstoppers and strawbery laces from Curious Candy in Bangor - the kids nearly freaked out and it has taken them 3 days to finish off one of their gobstoppers! They were in sugar heaven. Lulu had gobstopper juice all over her and couldn't fit it in her mouth for the whole of the first day eating it!
5) Hot water bottles - yep do you get the feeling that it's cold out here? We've got three great hotties for the kids so they're snug as bugs now when they're off to bed. We've had a complete change of wardrobe here as it changed from sort of late september autumn to deep winter in 2 weeks!
6) Percy Pigs - 
Good ol' Marks & Spencers - percy and friends rock expect we all end up fighting over the cola ones... they are just too cool for skool.

8) Angel Delight - well the kids have got to keep their E number ration up, they were basically getting withdrawal symptoms and a monkey on the back of 3 cheeky monkeys is not fun for anyone!!! Good ol' Angel Delight - tastes great out here.
There was loads of stuff - George went to Ireland with about 15 kilos and came back with 55!
Anyway there is loads of other news as you can imagine but I'll get to it over the next couple of weeks. Hope you are all cool.
Cheers...

Hi guys. Good to hear George arrived back safely, and bearing gifts. You must have had some party! Hope no-one was sick. It was good to see George, pity about the circumstances. Loved the photo and tribute to Nell. I was just about to show it to Heather and it had disappeared! Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers. Love Elaine.
