Happy Birthday Jasmine

By Iain 14 June 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Wow, it's been a year already? It's the little ones Birthday today, and while I'm a bit sad we didn't get to Longdown Dairy Farm yesterday to see her, I'm OK as I spent a lot of time with her at David and Katie's wedding and at the BBQ afterwards. Look how much she's grown up in her first year.…

Moon Juice and Marriage

By Iain 30 May 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

We went to Maggie and George's house today for the after-wedding Barbecue - the purpose of which was so that everyone who was not invited to David and Katie's Wedding itself could celebrate their happy occasion. The rain stayed away, and although it was a bit windy, it was a lovely day for being outside. We arrived early, and my…

My brother got married today

By Iain 27 May 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

Jane and I went over to Southampton in the morning - it was strange, as we were making the journey on the train it didn't feel at all like we were going to a wedding later that day. It only felt like a wedding when we went to meet David at his hotel to "get him to the Registry Office…

Stag Do Done

By Iain 26 April 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

I know I usually do this post on a Sunday, but I wasn't feeling up to typing stuff out last night, so do forgive me. So then. David's Stag Night - an abridged version of Saturday night's journey. David, Alex (Katie's brother) and I started off at home, drinking Long Island Iced Tea and Corona. Mum made us a hearty…

I’m not the same person I was seven years ago

By Iain 11 April 2010Reflections2 Comments

I went back and re-read this post the other day – it was most enlightening. I was so sad back then, I look back and it’s genuinely hard for me to recognise my own writing. I mean, I know it’s just words on a screen, it’s not hand-written, but it’s hard for me to see that it was me.

Corned beef and tomato sandwiches

By Iain 14 March 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

I wasn't feeling too great yesterday, I was all bunged up, feeling like something was trying to slowly burst out of my head. But, because she's generally the greatest person in the world, Jane was totally lovely yesterday, she made me corned beef and tomato sandwiches for lunch. Took me right back to my Nan's house - corned beef and…

Spiral Onion Loaf

By Iain 7 March 2010Films/TV, ReflectionsNo Comments

Went over to Southampton to see the guys yesterday, it was lovely. Jasmine is crawling now - slowly - but she's getting there. Her teeth are starting to come through and she looks so much like my Mum. I'm glad she was in a better mood than last time I went over, she was all smiles and laughs - last…

Saturday: Good day

By Iain 31 January 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

So I went to my Mum's yesterday, it was lovely. Because of the snow and other random issues, we still hadn't given David his Birthday presents from the beginning of January, so it was nice to finally be able to do that. David and Katie told me the date for their Wedding (does the word "wedding" require capitalisation? I am…

Still not back to normal

By Iain 10 January 2010ReflectionsNo Comments

I was looking forward to getting back into a more normal routine and not having so many other people around all the time so I can just get on with studying, but alas, the recent snow has caused travel problems, so everyone has had to stay off work most of the week. Nothing else to add really, apart from I'm…

2009 Top 10: Jasmine

By Iain 31 December 2009ReflectionsNo Comments

Last, but by no means least, it's Jasmine. June 14th was a very special day, David and Katie's little girl, my niece, Jasmine Eve Stewart was born. She's got the most beautiful big blue eyes, and gorgeous chubby cheeks, it's always a treat when I get to see my favourite small person.
