Hey People

Peter (Mike's Dad) has just finished hand carving the family crest for the new house and it looks great. It was awarded in 1602 to the family at the time there was a King (Kaiser) in Austria. Somehow ages ago the family was a bit blue blooded but it didn't seem to be such a big thing to them. They just hung it on the wall and that was it. Here tis:


Nice bit of handwork eh ! They have also started on the new roof and the gib board:



All moving along quite nicely and the painter is coming on Monday to stop up the gib board (can't remember what you call it in English) and give it the first coat of paint.

Charly and I are driving to Italy on Sunday with a girlfriend of mine and her three kids so that should be fun. We are staying four nights in a camping ground. Charly and I are sleeping in the van and they are in a tent. They have never been camping before and Michi has never been on holiday with all three so it should be interesting to say the least.

Charly was at a birthday party on Saturday and they had ponies - so cute ! You can see her on the left hand side of the photo in a pink fleece waiting for her turn on the pony. Also just another photo of madam on her bike.



Ok gotta go as Mike has to show me something with the new apple so I can organise all my photos. Take care and keep in touch.

Love us 3 xxxooo
