Slack updates! tut tut!

Hello all, so whilst the whole of the country grinds to a holt through the snow, and offically comes out of recession the main thing that has held this great country of ours together is this blog... which sadly we've not updated since new years day, due to this Chaos has erupted in the WHOLE country!

So the question on everyone's lips is what the dickens have me and Naomi been up to!? Well we've been riding some fresh powder on Dartmoor:


We've also been getting really board sitting at home... thus resulting in a new animation of ours:


I would love to say there's some deep meaning to this animation which reflects upon the inner child like emotions of our young marriage... but it really was just a animation for animation's sake... one day we'll create a full motion picture... one day!

So what else have the Devonshire Hodges been up to? Well sadly we've mostly been working! Paul (our car) has had a couple shady morning of refusing to start which has meant Naomi's been forced to catch the train to work at stupid O-Clock in the mornings! Luckily it seems he's back to his chirpy self (yes I did just say our car was Chirpy!). Whilst we're mentioning Paul, Naomi has been having more quality time with him than myself as of late, what with her driving him every day so I decided to take him away for the day on a day trip to Wales to go riding with my Brother and Dad at Brechfa:


As one might be able to tell from this photo of my dad that the white stuff on the floor is not an excessive amount of paint on the floor with black tire marks on top but is in fact yet MORE snow! Indeed the night prior to my trip to Wales (my chum Antony Bishop popped along too), the South West England and South wales got a slight sprinkling of snow (a very slight sprinkling), but this combined with a miss directed (my brother typed in the wrong address) satnav caused us to drive on a very minor icy/snowy road which was on a slight decline which resulted in this:


Surprisingly this was actually quite good fun and luckily no-one and more importantly no-cars were hurt/damaged in the production of this video! We ended up EVENTUALLY getting to Brechfa and had a smashing time riding in the snow! Here's the end results to the towels after the whole escapade:


So asides from playing in the snow we've actually being slightly adult like atm as we're beginning to start looking to buy our first house! SCARY! More on this in the next coming months I'm sure!

Well that's all for now hopefully the next update won't take AGES!
