Here's to 2012!

So many blogs that I follow seem to have started their most recent posts with apologies for neglecting their blogs recently.  Well, I'm not going to apologise, sometimes life just gets in the way of blogging, and of course that's exactly how it should be - at least it gives me something to blog ABOUT!

So since my last blog-post we've been very busy...  partying at the Loan Service Bollywood Ball:

Meeting new babies:

Hello Esther!

Spending a day in Singapore...

en route to our most amazing holiday ever, 2 weeks in New Zealand:

Much more to come about New Zealand (I'll write a more detailed post about our itinerary soon, I'm positive evangelical about the place!).  We spent Christmas there, arriving back in Brunei on New Year's Eve.

All this, and announcing an impending new arrival to the world...

I'm already 2 weeks into the new term at school and so far 2012 is flying by.  This is the year when we'll be saying goodbye to Brunei and returning to the UK for good (although we're still not quite sure when...) so one thing's for sure, 2012 is going to be a busy year.

I hope yours too is full of wonderful things.

Happy New Year!

So it's goodbye 2009...

And hello 2010!

So far it's been beautiful - sunny and frosty (just the weather for a hearty pie!)

Here's hoping that the new year will be filled with good food and good friends, and plenty of excitements besides.

Happy New Year!

OK, so it's pretty belated now, but it's been a busy year, and we're only a month in!

I guess my resolution to write more blog posts has gone to the wall already... However, my resolution to see more of my lovely friends has got off to a great start.




I have also re-entered the world of work. It's not that I haven't been working for the last 2 and a half years, but somehow supply-teaching almost seems like cheating... no planning, no staff-meetings, great daily pay, usually great fun... Still, despite the planning and staff meetings, I am having great fun at my new school. But who wouldn't love working here?



I am working on a part-time contract, so am able to continue supply work too. Life is good.

I'm hoping that 2009 continues this well - for me, and for you too.
