We took the family to the Duke of Essex polo at the weekend. The weather was great and we made the most of it with a huge picnic. The adults went back later for the evening party. Polo party Essex style: plenty of fake tan, skimpy dresses and attitude wielding C-list slebs. Awesome fun was [...]

Zara wins The Suffolk Show
Another show and another win for Zara. So far she’s unbeaten this season. Last week on Rupert she won the first Hoys ticket of the year with a win at The Midland Counties Show in the wind and rain. Well done Zara, Rupert, Martin, John and Team Harvey.

The health visitor last week described him as ‘thriving’. He weighed in at 15lb 8oz. In the last week he’s started giggling properly, getting him giggling is very addictive, one giggle is never enough.

Zara wins her first show
Not only her first win but she got it during her first proper affiliated show. Had Rupert not turned his back on the judge during the championship she would have gone champion as well. Jelly was also at the show and won, he’s the first pony in this video.

The network allowed everyone to access the shared 10 megabyte hard drive. The hard drive itself was the size of a [...]
Henry John Clark
Born 03/02/2009 and weighing a respectable 8lb 1oz. He’s a very laid back baby, either sleeping or feeding and apart from at his birth we haven’t yet heard him scream (only 24 hours old at the time of writing this). Fingers crossed he’ll stay that way and be a contented, happy baby. UPDATE. Overnight Henry [...]
