He's Got More Letters After His Name Than A Doctor!

This morning a letter arrived addressed to Mr J Miles CAE MIMI.  James has recently added a couple more certificates to his growing collection; he is now a Certified Automotive Engineer and a Member of the Institite of the Motor Industry.  We're very proud!

February Frivolity


This month started with a trip to Wales for another baby blessing, this time for our latest niece Lillian.  Our journey was lengthened thanks to a flat tyre which meant we could only do 50mph on our spare.  TORTURE!  As all of James' family live in Wales it's a rare treat for the cousins to all meet up and play together, they had so much fun!  (And I got lots of cuddles with the new babies!)


James was called as Young Men's president... for the sixth time! He'll be released soon from the High Council, now we get to have him in our ward every Sunday again!


I've finally framed my tea towel.  I love the artist Rob Ryan but my budget doesn't stretch enough for me to buy one of his pieces.  I can however afford this tea towel designed by him!  It looks great in my kitchen:
I tried to distract myself from the hole still in my carpet by stringing up some hearts for Valentines:
And of course we enjoyed Shrove Tuesday in the only way one should, with copious amounts of pancakes (flipped, not turned!):
And who doesn't love unexpected flowers from a friend?
