We’ve been in our new home for over a week now (nearly the end of the second week in fact! – We moved June 15th) and it’s starting to look homely. 🙂 Here are a few photos of the house so far which Artur took on his new GoPro. We still have some unpacking to do (so you won’t be seeing the spare bedroom 😉 ) but it’s coming along…

Here’s a quick run down of what I did: Good Friday Traditionally in the UK we eat fish on Good Friday (so my mum tells me), usually smoked haddock. I’m not a fish lover so skipped that tradition!

Mexican Red Knee Tarantula
As you may know I used to own a tarantula, a Chilean rose hair tarantula to be more specific, unfortunately Hermy died Thursday 21st February 2008 and I’ve been unsure whether I want another tarantula. My favourite breed of tarantula for years now has been the Mexican Red Knee and I’ve been thinking lately about buying one and having another tarantula as a pet – this one would likely be…

Mother’s Day trip to Bath
This past weekend Artur and I took my mum to the city of Bath to celebrate Mother’s Day. She had given us a few ideas for her Mother’s Day outing the week before including Bath Bourton-on-the-Water and Longleat Safari Park and Gardens. With its Roman history and the chance to explore a new city – Bath was an easy choice. To be honest I’m surprised we took so long to visit this beautiful…
