The Burrows family are hoping 2009 is just as exciting as 2008, but perhaps without such a life changing event! Emily is keeping us very busy so we're a little behind with our updates, but hopefully there will be new diaries and photos very soon. http://www.getjealous.com/fay http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=629132&go=fay Call us suckers for punishment but less than one month after enduring a 24 hour flight from the UK we were back at Sydney International for an early flight to Queenstown on New Zealand"s South Island. With a strong tail wind we shaved 45 minutes off the journey time! We picked up the hire car and headed straight up the mountains to Wanaka. Fiona had booked a fantastic 3 bedroom house minutes ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=629132&go=fay Tue, 25 Aug 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=624257&go=fay With Emily happily settled in at Stonefold we were finally able to take advantage of doting grandparents and abandon our daughter for a two night break. We'd booked into the wonderful old Priory Hotel in Bath, the city where George and I first met 11 years ago. Arriving at Lunchtime on Tuesday we headed straight out to George's favourite lunch stop, the Cornish Pasty Shop. After wandering around t... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=624257&go=fay Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=612564&go=fay Our long awaited return to the UK didn't get off to a great start. With George and I still recovering from suspected swine flu and Emily with a hacking cough and seemingly endless rivers of snot, we were truly dreading the 24 hour flight. The less said about it the better, but a 15 month old doesn't get her own seat and is too big for a bassinet. And the Chinese couple next to us complained to the... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=612564&go=fay Fri, 10 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=609386&go=fay Yulefest 2007 was the Yulefest to end all Yulefests. Or so we thought. Beth had abdicated from the role of Yulefest Queen, after 9 outstanding years of organising the annual event. And a month after my rather embarrassing performance at the 2007 Yulefest dinner, I fell pregnant with Emily, which meant the end of such irresponsible behaviour - at least for a little while. But something was missing ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=609386&go=fay Fri, 3 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=598488&go=fay We've had some wonderful times staying with Fiona and Jason on their yacht at various places around the world, and it was about time we returned the favour. With baby Molly now 3 months old the Harvey's finally arrived in Sydney. We had a wonderful time showing them our favourite parts of the city, including several days at the beach making the most of the tropical ocean temperatures. The day afte... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=598488&go=fay Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=593665&go=fay Back in January we tried to take part in the Australia Day Havaiana Thong Challenge, which involved taking to the water at Bondi Beach on giant inflatable thongs. It was the worst organised event ever, and we didn't end up taking part in the record breaking attempt. We did however end up with 20 giant inflatable thongs between us. Somehow we came up with a plan to use all 20 of these thongs to dec... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=593665&go=fay Sat, 4 Apr 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=591803&go=fay Last time we took a wine tasting tour in the Hunter Valley in 2007, we were chauffeured around in a limousine and drank a bottle of wine between each winery. We were so drunk we ate steak and scrambled eggs for dinner. That sort of irresponsible behaviour is out of the question now we are parents, but we jumped at the chance to have a baby-friendly trip instead. With Flipper's whole family over fr... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=591803&go=fay Fri, 6 Mar 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=581425&go=fay Dan wasn't a huge fan of last year's skimpy pink and yellow crop top and shorts ensemble George organised for last year's Slam! volleyball tournament.So we weren't really surprised when he suggested that we return to the army camouflage theme, which seems to be the only fancy dress that Dan is comfortable with. Unfortunately the team name, which was decided upon when we were planning a very differ... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=581425&go=fay Sat, 28 Feb 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=579515&go=fay We already knew Emily was gorgeous, so when one of our friends asked if we'd be interested in doing a photo shoot for a hip and trendy baby clothing company, we jumped at the chance. Emily was a consummate professional, despite it being the hottest day of the year so far. We're looking forward to seeing her in the Rock Your Baby brochure very soon!Next week Granny Sue stopped over with us for a fe... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=579515&go=fay Mon, 19 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=577023&go=fay After a week on the boat it was time to give Fiona and Jason a break and see a bit of New Zealand. Originally I'd had great plans of getting around most of the North Island in a week, but we soon realised that the distances and travel times made that impossible. I'm usually super organised for our road trips, with the itinerary and bookings finalised weeks in advance. This time we were winging it.... http://www.getjealous.com/getjealous.php?action=showdiaryentry&diary_id=577023&go=fay Thu, 1 Jan 2009 12:00:00 GMT
