Tales From Little Bennett End

Hard to believe now that we've been back from holiday nearly 6 weeks but then as we write this just so much has happened we can't wait for the next one. Anyway straight after our trip to Scotland Joe headed off to San Francisco for a conference on the future of Collaboration and Social Networking. Amazing stuff. Learned all about how large groups of people when asked independently how to estimate something will be more accurate than experts in that field and also felt like an old man learning about wikis and blogs and how TV advertising will be killed off by them. If I sound over enthusiastic its because it may well be my next job to move into this field.

Anyway on his return we took Callum to his very first family wedding and his introduction to the Bennett side of the family. He was a huge hit despite a major nappy accident a third of the way through the service, daddy pranging the new family car and making his way right down the chief bridesmaid, Victoria's dress.

The rest of the month saw us visiting Sally friend's Jo, Tony and little Thomas in Birmingham. Some of you may remember Thomas as that tiny little baby from our wedding day. Well he's now 20 months old, walking, talking and signing little lad with a lovely nature. We also stopped by to introduce Callum to my old Uni friends Pearl and Paul.

We also were inundated with visitors. Caroline and Yvette came down for a few days to meet Callum and take him to the local bird park and my neice Claire came again to terrorise him.

Well its now well and truly Autumn/Fall here at Little Bennett end and we are in the midst of plans to decorate the kitchen and downstairs loo as well as planning for Xmas. This year we will be spending Xmas here and Ne'erday up in Scotland although no idea how we will get all of the little guy's (now 13lbs 10 oz) stuff up on plane along with presents.

Wrap up and get the honey and lemon out !!!

Joe, Sally and Callum
