Guten Tag

Well, not really... I must have brought the British weather over with me to Berlin. Sightseeing has been ruined on more than one day because of the rain. Not too bad for me, I guess, as I've been to Berlin before and so the rain's been a good excuse for me to stay in the flat and relax (and update blog!).

As I write, it has just stopped raining so I will take my chance and venture out umbrella-less for another attempt at photo taking!

Still here...

Ok, time for excuses for the long absence. The house move has been exciting but has also meant no Internet connection till now and my needing to lend what lil bit I can to stripping wall paper/painting/moving stuff etc. I'm still trying to find my feet in the current project I'm in, whilst making sure it's not so obvious to others! And in a fit of proactiveness, I also volunteered for all sorts - leading training, managing other engagements, camping etc which has not helped at all!

Anyway, you probably didn't buy any of the excuses, so here are some pics to divert your attention for now... :)

Some pics of the house move:
Idris and Bri moving the sofa....
Our make-shift storage room.
Idris and Bri in front of the dodgy-rollercoaster-type van. Highly recommended to lend some much needed excitement and nail-biting experience to any move.
And here are some pics from my two-day camping trip with Debbie and Helen in mid-Wales.

Setting out our camps before going for our walk.The sheepdogs here have it easy - they get their own chauffeur! (Who was the first person we saw in 3 hours since starting the walk!)
Our sleeping quarters for the night. Surprisingly, the first 8-hour sleep I had in a month!
