So we've finally gotten around to squandering some of our hard-earned on a flickr pro account. It will (hopefully) act as safe back-up refuge for all our digital photos... and what's more - it we can share (some of) our photos with you out there! Here they are.
In what is surely destined to be a futile attempt to de-clutter (is that a verb now?) our existence, I have digitised all the old negatives I could lay my hands on, including those taken by my old friend, Uncle Peter, when we had a year back-packing through the Americas and working in Oz.
The cream of the crop will gradually be released to the general public and will from this day forward be known as "Mike's Way Back When Machine."
Enjoy here.

Summer in the City
The Doubleus have just travelled down on the train again with Jeff dog to visit Maria, John and Fin in London. It was slightly different this time: a plan which needed military precision had been concocted whereby I would get on the train Mrs Doubleu and Jeff had already boarded in Newcastle when it reached Durham. Claire would have my ticket and I would need only to find the right carriage.
Well being on-call, and the need for an urgent home visit put paid to that plan, so I had to buy another ticket and meet the gang when I reached King's Cross.
The weekend improved from here on in, with excellent weather throughout. It was great to catch up with Maria and John; and Fin was pleased to show us his new teeth and blueberry eating skills.
We lunched outside with Rob and Laure one day, and barbequed the next at Maria and John's where we were joined by Meyrick, as well as Kat and Ju.
Despite the abundance of South Africans in Southfields, and even at this BBQ, it somehow fell to me to be in charge of the cooking. So, much to Ju's disappointment, the burgers and bangers were cooked the traditional British BBQ way: reduced to charcoal on the outside whilst still retaining salmonella on the inside.
