Phil Dennis is 50 (yes that's fifty years old)

Taken at Phil's 50th birthday fancy dress party. The theme was pimps and tarts - but I think Phil Dennis looks more like a 70's rock star. 

January blues......

Sadly Louise spent a few nights in hospital this month with a virus - but she's all back to fighting fitness now.

This shot was taken round at Giles and Sophie's house a few weeks back. 

Found this over at Wikipedia

I found this over at Wikipedia and wondered what the "Howdy Doody" was over in the states - can you let me know?


"Thirty-somethings of that era were generally seen as possessing an outlook on life colored by the loss of the perceived freedom that characterized their twenties (often exaggerated) due to the pressures of providing for their children and holding down demanding jobs to finance the family lifestyle (they tended to marry later than those who came immediately before). Their material tastes were often identified as a mixture of nostalgia for their youth (Howdy Doody, etc.) and a continuing battle to avoid appearing middle aged while increasing the material comfort of their lives — a mindset often denoted by the informal term "yuppie""

Louise Ellen Harvey - 8 Weeks on

In the post Xmas/NYE period not many pics or video footage being taken of the kids (more of the normal stuff like work, chores etc etc.) So I thought I'd keep the family (and those of you who are in the least bit interested) posted with the latest pic of Louise. So here she is - sporting her latest Eeyore romper design. 

Another year over...

And a new one just about to begin. Here's a few happy snaps taken over the festive period.

So glad it snowed yesterday as James hadn't seen it.

Coming next - Dean Harvey's new year resolutions.

Christmas in Brighton

James is very excited this week - he has specifically asked for very little - so I think we should make the most of this - it'll be different next year you can bet. No doubt they both will be spoiled rotten.

I'm really excited about spending Christmas in Brighton this year - I think that Alun Williams is going into the sea again on Christmas Day 

Just a few more pics from Friday night's head wetting session.

Wetting the babies heads...

On Fri we went out to the Alibi bar on Hove Seafront to wet the babies heads - Louise in my case and Baby Sam in Alun's. An early start with a late finish (thanks to the new licensing laws) with a few beers in between. A BIG THANKS to all those who braved the cold night to come and celebrate the arrival of the little people.

A wave

Another one for the album

Amberley comes to visit

Sam and her daughter Amberley were down to see the new baby Louise Harvey in Brighton today and kept Sarah company whilst I was out wetting the baby's head!

Funny how....

One win makes all the difference to the mood of the fans - my team have had a rough ride of late - but we're in for a tricky Xmas with Man Utd twice

Hi Alex - have placed your link now - thanks

Louise is now a number......

I registered the birth of Louise Ellen this week - so she now exists on the system and has her NHS (NI?) number. That's two "Born in Brighton & Hove" birth certs now have........ 

I just managed to get James to sit still for 5 seconds to grab this snap today - When I have a moment I'll cut out the chairs etc in the background....
