Last weekend we took a walk down by the river to the ‘Hatch’ to watch James Blunt perform at the ‘Earthfest’ festival. We hung around and listened to the posh English bloke warble for a bit. I’ve heard that a radio station back home has got so tired of him, they now refuse to play his songs at all. Poor James and his over exposed middle of the road tunes. A band called ‘The Fray’ also played a few songs before him and ‘Miss Rhode Island’ gave a speech about saving the planet, recycling and stuff. Which was nice of her. There was apparently 100,000 people there and loads of other tents and stands promoting ways to save and conserve energy. No doubt some of them may then have drove home in their big, cheap gas guzzling SUV’s. But there’s interest in Environment issues here. The price of petrol has been rising and according to the news it’s making people consider smaller more economical cars and even scooters. I’d like a scooter.
I’ve updated my website with some new work, there’s also some stuff on the other blog,
Not been out with the camera much lately but here some of our latest shots of life over here.
Cheers and thanks for reading.

Lovely pictures - Em's obviously slathered in Factor 300 sunscreen and Mark's hat makes him invincible to the elements!
Top right photo - who's the guy with the unfeasibly large left ear?
James Blunt - stone him, the great jessie!
James Blunt.... (can you tell I don't like him or his dirge-like music?) Chris Moyles plays the first two bars of 'You're Beautiful' and then mixes in a fantastic trance jungle back-track making it sound all gangsta and club-stylie - god, it's funny: I started laughing & cheering when I first heard it and it sounded even funnier when the rest of the rush-hour traffic jam victims at the Albert Dock started to do the same!! Class.
And another thing....
He was a captain in the Army.....could you imagine trying to command a bunch of hairy arsed soldiers with a voice like that. "Coo-ee, I say chaps, would you mind awfully just asking that cheeky blighter over there to move along, there's a good fellow".....yep, I'd have shot him.
I think you fancy him really.
