Barthows: February 2013
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. As always, we try and resolve to keep more up to date with blogs every year. So, writing our first blog in February isn't too bad. In early January, we celebrated 8 years of marriage, which is really exciting - can't believe how time flies and all the cool things we have done in that time. We celebrated with a lovely long lunch together while one of Dan's colleagues babysat for us - yay. Speaking of babysitting. our. Baby is now nearly 1! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Barthows: June 2011
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 23, 2011. When we found our feet, we did venture out of the apartment though! That first night, we had dinner at the Drum and Gong restaurant in the. And, over the last week we have eaten at some other really great restaurants too. There is a lot to see in Beijing and we had to resign ourselves to the fact that we simply couldn't see it all. What we did see (through all the smog - mm, nice) was very cool -. For now, though, it's time to say good bye to Beijing and hello to New Zealand!

Barthows: Aotearoa New Zealand - Welcome home, the first 8 weeks
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2011/08/aotearoa-new-zealand-welcome-home-first.html
Friday, August 19, 2011. Aotearoa New Zealand - Welcome home, the first 8 weeks. Eight weeks ago we arrived safe and sound back in NZ. That means we have been out of the UK for over three months! Since being here, we have spent some time catching up with both sides of our family, getting to know our home towns again, and going on the job hunt. We have also tried to get out and about to see a wee bit more of this beautiful native country of ours. August 24, 2011 at 2:48 AM. Hope you are doing well. Subscr...

Barthows: November 2010
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 21, 2010. The Big 3-0 – Central Europe, here we come. At the end of May, the UK has a second May Bank Holiday, which coincided perfectly with Daniel's birthday. We took a couple of extra annual leave days off to make the most of this opportunity to celebrate in style. The next day we enjoyed the amazing views with our afternoon tea on Fishermen's Bastion (that is one big hill to get up on foot though! We even got to see a ballet performance at the amazing new theatre (grand total cost of...

Sunday, February 6, 2011. New Years in Ireland. Wedding anniversary in the northern Dublin suburb of Clontarf where we treated ourselves to a night in a castle hotel. Again, we were blessed with fantastic weather (it never seems to rain in Ireland while we are there.) and it was so great to just relax, unwind, and see our good friends. Dreaming of a White Christmas. Hard to believe that this was the last Christmas we will have in the northern hemisphere for a wee while! I was also doing a speaking slot a...

Barthows: Parenthood
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2012/11/parenthood.html
Friday, November 16, 2012. No excuse really but parenthood is a whole new world and we realise that keeping up with other every day things like, oh, I don't know, blogs (! Aren't always top of the priority list. That said, we love being parents and Kezia is a wonderful daughter to us. Here's a few of the highlights of our 2012 year so far. In Kezia's first 8 weeks of life, we visited Daniel's family in Tauranga 4 times! Later in August, w e went down to a small town. Ohakune (pron, Owakooneh) for a few d...

Barthows: December 2010
http://barthows.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 5, 2010. Looking for the Folk of Nor in Norfolk. We were also able to see a lot of windmills and our fair share of "cute" villages. On the last day, we took the long way round and headed down to Suffolk. There we visited the incredibly well preserved Medieval town of Lavenham - an amazing Guildhall, heaps of Tudor houses, and cute shops to boot. Isle of Wight - Spit Happens.

Monday, July 5, 2010. The Western Balkans - Easter 2010. So as you can see, our New Years resolution of keeping better track on our Blog and making sure it is up to date was broken by Easter! Over Easter we did a 10 day trip to the Western Balkans. We flew in to Ljubljana, capital of Slovenia, before heading straight to Croatia. We spent more time in Slovenia on the way back.
