You can't touch this pen...

without someone trying to kill it.

We had a colleague of mine and his family over for a BBQ lunch today. They've moved here from Stockport in the UK 3 weeks ago, and their daughter is in the middle of my two girls age wise, so thought it would be nice to get them together.

It has been so mild today, we ate out on the deck, and then walked down to the beach where everyone had a paddle and dug in the sand. Just divine!
