March 2014 - Easter Holiday!


I was left to look through Poppy's school books outside class before seeing the teacher - couldn't resist taking a photo of this one - hillarious - what is to come?!


We have a new addition to the family - Thumper - really lovely bunny


The 6.00am school day starts are taking their toll on poor Poppy!


Sunday morning bike ride and breakfast at the local market - roti canai and dall - perfect!


Poppy's creative streak - design a hat for Scips 50th anniversary party


Discovered - in a jigsaw box - nightshirts bought in England 8 months ago!


Poppy with a few classmates at school sports day


It was a little hot...


Entrepeneur day at school selling homemade lemonade - apparently made the most money too!


At Kok Lok See Temple in George Town


Yes - he was born in year of the Sheep (however will it known it was Year of the Ram)


A night away at Hard Rock Penang



The view from our room - not bad!


Poppy half way through


With Jo-Joe new Malaysian lady boy at Hard Rock - great cut!



Hoorah - back in Thailand - and chilling...



...and we caught a rather tame version of Songkran!



Coco Eco Resort, Koh Lanta - wonderful chilled out place


Scritchley and Lazenbury children together again!


Its Mojhito O'clock - with the fabulous Narelle and Barb! Holiday booked with Narelle and family - to be joined as a total surprise to all by the Sterling family - awesome!


Poppy with pet beetle Bob!


It was a totally fabulous holiday!



The pool hustlers!




I just love this picture of Livi and Amber - milk shake o' clock!



Getting ready to dive again - slightly apprehensive after a year's gap - sporting the new full length suit - finally warm under water!


Poppy getting ready for bubble making - loved it!


Narelle, Amber and I ready to go!




Ian - who never uses a wet suit - easy to spot too!


Wonderful diving - a little hair-raising going in a few caves but incredible diving! We saw sea snakes, moray eels, puffa fish, angel fish etc etc. Fabulous!






The boys by the pool - its beer o'clock!


Ha ha mojhito time again! April was awesome - an incredible holiday with truly fabulous people! Cheers!

Yeah - up to date!!!!! That was a lazy Sunday well used! Hope you all had a good Easter!

Love from us all in Malaysia! XXX

February 2014 - A Quiet Month

Double sleepover with Ritu and Rebecca, Amber and Poppy's friends - pancakes for breakfast of course!


George Town!



Hawkers Market in George Town




Bizarre procession outside the Hawkers Market with people whipping the road with thick ropes?


Selfie on a rare child free night out


We were incredibly lucky to be invited to an Indian Wedding - amazing experience - the colours were incredible and all fascinating to watch and listen to!


Putting the toe rings on - I believe a sign that the woman is married - no wedding ring - we felt very lucky to be able to attend


I am learning Bahasa (starting with kids level!)


On a mosque tour in George Town


Trying to cool Poppy down with ice cubes in Ian's hat - overheating at a sports weekend playing football


Helped out at the first Family Day at POWIIS - great feel good day with tug of war, football and rounders!
