21st July 2010 - Isla Eastwood
I've added a couple of photos to the Photos page of the newest member of the Eastwood clan: Isla Mabel Eastwood.
She was born on 19th July 2010 at 11:56pm, weighing 7 pounds 14 ounces.
She's got the same haircut as her dad (plenty of hair on the sides but very little on the top), and the biggest cry ever heard in Linthorpe. We're at home now and hoping she's not going to keep us up all night every night!
8th December 2009 - My Chocolate Log
|
Here's a photo of the chocolate log I made this weekend, for a chocolate log cook-off. I'm dead proud of it, it's the first cake I've ever made. It's made from solid chocolate which I microwaved and poured into a mould made from a milk carton, then I smeared it in Nutella and stuck on bits of Flake. It tastes very nice (as long as you like chocolate). It's horrendous to cut though. Unfortunately it came last in the log-off. My attempt to get the other logs disqualified on the basis that mine was the only "log made out of chocolate" failed. Ah well, it gives me something to nibble on until Christmas. |

22nd November 2009 - Appo Digitally Restored!
 |
When selecting photos from our wedding to put on the website I was very careful to make sure that everybody who was there appeared in at least one photo. Unfortunately, I managed to completely fail. Here's a photo of Appo, who I originally managed to leave off. Sorry about that, mate. If anybody else has been brilliantly left off, let me know and I'll add you. Does anybody have any other photos from the wedding that I don't have a copy of? I'd appreciate it if you'd let me know so that I can collect them on a CD or memory stick. I'm hoping to sell them to "Hello!" magazine for a million pounds. |
21st November 2009 - Does Anybody Want To Buy (Another) House?
We're hoping to move to the sticks shortly. After the wonderful success of selling my house on this website last time, here's another try.
For a mere trifle, you could live in this historic monument: a former abode of Peter Eastwood. I'm thinking about getting one of those circular blue signs near the front door, saying that I lived there and the dates.
Here's the link.

3rd September 2009 - Wedding Photos
Is there anybody out there? Here's a surprise post after eighteen months of complete silence.
I have added some photos from our recent wedding to the photos page.
I haven't got the official photographs yet, the four million I do have are from various people's cameras (thanks very much). If anybody has any other photos from their own cameras I'd love to have a copy. I'm intending to buy one of those posh digital photo frames for the front room and have it cycle them all day and all night.
When the official photographs arrive I'll be sure to add them, and the ones from our honeymoon in Mexico.
