The new Allie...

After seeing James get his haircut earlier this week she was
inspired..and in school today apparently was caught playing
hairdresser! Needless to say she was banned from scissors for the rest
of the week by her teacher. Coincedentally today was the day we had
planned to go for her hair cut, she insisted she wanted it short short
short! Here are the results:

Thanks for your wishes for a Happy Anniversary!

Here we are at the Old Harry Rocks in Dorset.
Brian was under the impression that they were old and hairy, but it turned out they are named after old Harry!
(I set the camera up a top my bag and hoped for neither us or the camera to take a tumble);-)

Luke seriously trying to scare James as we wait to enter Highgate Cemetery

Thank you to cousin Brendan, we wouldn't have thought to have gone here if it weren't for his influence! He gave the boys a book
which takes place in the cemetery.

Walking up Egyptian Avenue

The boys were very excited as they had read about this part of the cemetery in The GraveYard Book, by Neil Gaiman.

Lebanon Cedar -Highgate Cemetary

This Lebanon cedar tree grows in a mass of earth at the center of this structure. These Mausoleums were built circularly,
and so create a sort of giant pot for the tree. The tree is as old as the cemetery which opened in 1839.
