Stella?


Hiya Paps - [Birthday Greetings 2]

I had to laugh after translating this little 'insight' - the double meaning was quite appropriate!!! This was above the bar in the Belgian beer cafe!! It means "My home is where my Stella is", which is a type of beer (from the cafe) and of course our dog "Stella" - got to explain these thing for the kids, just in case :O)

Bitterballen

Hiya Paps - [Birthday Greetings 3]

"Lekker!" - some bitterballen and 'square' fritte in the Belgian beer cafe. We were celebrating my graduation and Alexia's new job. We had just come from an exhibition where alexia does some voluntary work.

Stells 1st Birthday

It was Stella's 1st birthday on 5th December. We celebrated the next day, Sunday morning, by taking her to the dog park for a 'good old' play around with other dogs and a swim. Of course she loved it!!

Swimming Stella



Stella has learned to swim really well in the last 2 months - she loves the water now - she swims like an otter!

Rolling Joey



Stella is rolling in something - watch the video to find out what??!!??

Dogs do this to mask their smell ready for a hunt - "wot for cans of dog food?" ;O)

Fleur's Restaurant

[I dare you to click on this photo - it gets B I G ]

Hello Family

We've had a wonderful time at Moeraki - 3 days away with Stella in the van :O)

Stella really loved the experience, she was so excited to be with us, and to be taken on at least 3 walks a day, wow.

Fleur's was brilliant again - we decided to do a late Sunday lunch, Stella was left in the van, where she crashed out after 2 walks; one on a beach with pristine 'squeeky' sand; and the other on a conservation site with the most amazing swimming holes in a river gorge.

OK something new again - I've joined Flickr (I don't think it's a Dutch site or they would never have chosen that name on purpose aye!) yet another social networking site - but this one is all about photos - so click on the links below and start viewing more photos of us ;O)
