Wow - Helen's pregnant (again!)

Hi,
You may have noticed from the subtle title than Helen is indeed pregnant. Well - something of a surprise (to say the least!), but a very welcome one, and we are currently thinking logistics for how to fit an extra one in (praying it is only one!) - in terms of beds, cars, bikes etc etc.
The due date is around 19th Dec, so in a stroke of genius we will have all three kids birthdays within a week or so, and thus I may be able to not forget them - I'll just never know which one is when, but hey, it's a start isn't it?
We’ve been having a scintillating time of late – spent the first May bank holiday doing May bank holiday type things – laid two areas of patio, one to put the kids playhouse on, and the other to put our new summer house / gazebo thing on. On the downside it was very hard work; but on the upside, I got to use all manner of petrol engined machinery (with plenty of assistance from small children) – a turf cutter, whacker to compact the base, cement mixer etc. Anyway – all completed now, as you can see from the photos… Hopefully Elspeth & Fraser will barely notice when we move their beds into the playhouse! I will of course be installing a bar and telly in the Gazebo (from where to watch Stoke in the Premier League next season (hoorah!)).
My veg this year is coming on nicely as well, as are the grapevines – before you know it I’ll be making gallons of high quality vino (well, perhaps a bottle or two of rancid vinegar in 3-4 years when they start to fruit!). We have pinot noir, Gewurztraminer and another variety, so I can make bad wine from well known grapes!

We've also been down to the caravan in Devon for a long weekend (forgot to take the camera - otherwise I could have posted photos of drizzly Devon & Cornwall), and are also off to Ireland in July with some friends, which should be great.
Cheers
Milo & Co.
