Been a while since we’ve put some Adair pictures up. Since it’s World Cup time, we got this shirt for Adair. Shame England left the World Cup so early…. Actually, as you can see in the picture above, we got a high-chair for Adair this past weekend – kind of like a birthday present, [...]

The weather hasn’t been that great the last few days. We had made plans to visit Leeds Castle and Canterbury over the Easter break, but the weather wasn’t cooperating. So instead we made a shorter trip to St. Albans, about 30 minutes or so north of where we live in London: we all piled into [...]
Christmas!!
Posted in MBH, Pet, Uncategorized on Dec 7th, 2009
Yep, it’s that time of year again! We trimmed our Christmas tree over the weekend – this was the same tree we had in Tokyo. Despite being in a box for two years, and despite the 5,000-km trip by boat over the Big Pond to Ol’ Blighty, the tree and our decorations seemed none the [...]
We woke up early and decided that for our first full day in Capri we’d hit what is said to be the highlight of the island: The Blue Grotto, or the Blue Cave. We had heard that depending on the wind and waves the Blue Grotto was sometimes closed, so we figured we’d give ourselves [...]
For our first-year wedding anniversary we went to Capri. Capri is just off the coast of Italy – about 45 minutes or so from Naples by ferry. Naples is a 3-hour plane ride from London. I accidentally booked our trip from Gatwick airport, which is considerably farther from our house compared to Luton or Heathrow. [...]
We’re glad we know – it eliminates 50% of the names we would otherwise have to consider. I’m convinced that pregnancies last nine months because that’s how long it takes to come up with good names! I personally think it’s a shame we have to give babies names before we know what they [...]
Proms & Denham

Every year, the BBC sponsors an eight-week classic concert festival – the BBC Proms. Most of the events are held at Royal Albert Hall. The MBH and I have talked about enjoying the arts and culture here in London, since the opportunity to do so in Tokyo is considerably more limited. So when we [...]
We live in north London. Most people don’t know the nearest station (Woodside Park), although they do recognize the next stations south of us (Finchley). Our area code is N12, and we are located in the London borough of Barnet. As I noted a few posts ago, Barnet happens to have its own football team, [...]

Actually, this wasn’t our wedding – instead, a co-worker, RH, got married this weekend. The MBH and I were invited, and since I was her previous boss, she asked me to give one of the introductory speeches. Needless to say, I happily agreed, but of course I was nervous as all get out; giving speeches [...]
