Right -- time to start putting that nasty fire business behind us, and get on with a bit of normality wherever we can. So here, as on virtually every other Sunday of the year, are some Shan clan photos -- fashionably late, as always!!!

These were all taken in Hobbledown Farm in Surrey, in the UK, back in the early days of the summer when the only heat we were feeling was the heat from the scorching July sun!

Hobbledown is a great place for a family day trip, and I've shared lots of photos from previous trips that we've made there. They have massive "jumping pillows" which are a cross between a trampoline and a water bed!!! The kids loved them, and as you can see, Mrs Shan and I made sure we got in in the act too!
