We went for a “McCormack Sunday walk” on the local fire trail just at the top of our road (it’s on the edge of the Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park and it’s where the fireman gain access for bush fires  … dogs allowed!).  Miranda couldn’t stop herself smiling at all the dancing light through the trees and Wellington tried to convince us the ball kept going in the puddles (yeah right Welly!).  After an hour of chatting (and throwing the ball for a soggy dog) we all arrived home and sat on our porch to catch our breath back !!!

Our Paper Wedding Anniversary was recently celebrated in style. Such a happy first year, and a gorgeous daughter to show for it! Being Paper - we were lucky that presents were easy (Cotton next - any ideas?).  Paul presented Deborah with tickets to a show - Billy Elliot - with music by Elton John.  We had our first G&T together in almost a year, and a fabulous night out (Sorry we left you behind Miranda - & thank-you for babysitting grandparents!!).  Set in Newcastle where we first met, the Australian/Geordie accents were hilarious and the music & dancing really were sensational.  A fantastic evening.

Knowing that Paul likes to get into the papers - Deborah wrote a silly article as front page news for the Hull Daily Mail (Paul’s home town).  On Monday 18th, Deborah presented Paul with it in a frame that now hangs in our study!
