Rain, race cars and mud

Months ago Jelte and Ian started planning a trip to go see the F1 in Austin, Texas. Kristin and I agreed to come along after we realised Austin is also a kind of fun place to go explore with funky shops and nice restaurants - kind of like the San Francisco of Texas.

Jelte and I landed in Austin late Thursday afternoon and shortly after we realised that he'd forgotten the tickets at home! After a brief moment of panic we remembered our dog sitter could easily courier the tickets over to our air bnb..

The rain started poring down on Friday and the mud started building up at the race venue. Kristin and I were wise enough to stay away from the qualifying on the Saturday and went to the Texas museum instead. On Sunday the rain had stopped but the mud and wind were still going strong and we spent a very cold couple of hours watching the cars go round and round. And yes those are bin liners we're wearing! Some of the photos below are mine and some have been lovingly stolen from Ian :)

Birthdays, fireworks and shredding

We celebrated America's and Jelte's birthday in style this weekend.

Alfie was taking his duties as wrapping paper shredder very seriously indeed, and helped Jelte unwrap all his presents. I swear that dog thinks all gifts are for him!



The weather wasn't great so we decided to skip the 4th July fireworks and stayed in with a bottle of wine instead. We learned last year that you can't see any of the fireworks through the fog anyway so we didn't miss much!
