THE SECOND HALF OF 2012

OK, given that we are now about 7 months behind, I think it's safe to say we're not going to be making individual blog posts about all our adventures. Instead, I'm going to share a selection of photos with you which will hopefully give you a bit of an idea of how we spent our time between July and December 2012.

J interviewed for and got a job near Battle in East Sussex, and we moved down here
