Here are a few pics of some of the birds attracted to our garden feeders. We have so far had Blue Tits, Great Tits, Robins Chaffinch’s, Sparrows, Pied Wagtails, a few Wood Pigeons and Black Birds. I have only been able to get good photos so far of the Blue Tits, Great Tit, the Black Bird male and a Sparrow.

Here are some pics of our new home in Warwickshire. We live in a small village near Leamington Spa. We live in a converted barn on a farm which seems to mostly have horses. We have three pubs within walking distance, one is only about 5 minutes through the fields. It is a beautiful area with a lot of wildlife and great walks. It is a great change from living in the city.
Our house is part of this converted barn.

We skied at Whistler for a week for Liv’s 30th birthday. Whistler is in British Columbia in Canada and is just the most awesome ski field. It is made up of Whistler and Blackcomb, so you actually get 2 ski fields-we loved skiing here, it’s way better than skiing in Australia and unlike any ski fields we’ve seen before. The runs are all well groomed, wide and smooth which makes skiing so much nicer. The runs are also really long so it actually takes you a while to ski back to the bottom- we skied for one and a half hours to get home one night. We stayed in accommodation in Whistler village which is pretty impressive itself. There are heaps of shops, pubs and restaurants in the village so we had a pretty good time. The best part was coming home to our hot tub!
Gorgeous ski runs and mountains.
The boys in their thermal underwear- it was very cold on the mountain.
