Ian has been taking Tang Su Do (Korean karate) lessons for about a year and a half. He's gone from barely being able to walk in a straight line (quite literally) to executing entire series of forms from memory. It's been fantastic to watch him grow.

In this picture, he's receiving his promotion to orange belt with one white stripe, having tested successfully in Redcar in the first week of December. He's already terribly excited about practicing his forms for green belt and the next round of testing. Mum and Dad are very proud!

Digging out from the winter...

Well, it's been a long while since we've posted anything; our apologies to all. We are going to make every effort to make regular postings to keep you all up-to-date on the goings-on here across the 'pond'.

We've tweaked the blog a bit - hope that you all like it. Stay tuned for pics, postings and other random bits of madness that make up our day-to-day adventures.

In the meantime, enjoy this video of a man having a really, really bad start to his day.
