Ode to Guinness

In honour of St. Patricks' Day, we thought it would be fun to reminesce about how we all celebrated last year.

While we enjoyed ourselves in a pub in Cambridge with our good friends Adeline and Thierry, Guinness had other ideas as to how to most appropriately celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Looking back, we think there was a slight hint of jealousy since we spent so much time with that 'other Guinness'.


Alas, another opportunity has arrived to celebrate St. Pat's Day in style. We're going out in London with CW's friend from study abroad Denise and her boyfriend who are here visiting. Perhaps tomorrow will see another bout of destructive Guinness behaviour.

Go Ireland!

Gorhambury House

Gorhambury is an old house located just minutes from our house. There is a wonderful road which makes its way up towards it past fields of sheep.

If it were not for the strict lead rules, it would be a perfect place for us to walk Guinness (the sheep are behind fences), but at least it makes for a good weekend stroll once in a while and an excellent running route for CW.


Unfortunately the one weekend we've been able to walk up there so far it was closed to the public but hopefully one of these days we can get inside to tour it as it's supposed to be really pretty.

Home Sweet Home

Finally a few pictures of our new little home... none from upstairs as of yet since we are still awaiting our bed and wardrobe so it's a bit of a mayhem up there with clothes hanging off every doorknob and nook and cranny.

Anyway, just sharing another piece of our little life here as so many have requested... hopefully you can all come and see it in person soon!!
If you look closely you'll see a faint red arrow pointing at the road where our lane comes in...
