This really isn’t good enough is it? I’m leaving it way too long before posts and paying far too much attention to twitter, facebook, audioboo, dailymile, and garmin connect (for my marathon training) while neglecting my humble blog, when I should really be hanging everything from the blog. I really must figure out a way of getting posts from my blog to auto-post to dailymile. Anyway, I digress…

The big news is that the certificate of approval finally came through for Kate and I and we were married on July 2 in a quiet ceremony in Richmond. We have just come back from a lovely relaxing weekend in the New Forest, which together with Oxfordshire, is becoming our go-to-place for a quiet weekend away from London. I expect we’ll be trying to get a few more of those is.

The even bigger news is that Kate and I are to be parents. Kate is 15 weeks pregnant now and the baby is due just after Xmas. We, and our respective families, are very excited – and also trying to pack in as much as possible before the baby arrives. We’ll be off to NZ in August for small wedding celebration over there and to do something over here too I expect sometime later in the year before the baby arrives.

Life is busy right now – and about to get even more so. Being a Private Secretary is interesting, but I’ll have to give careful thought as to how sustainable possible late nights in Parliament will be with trying to be a good dad to an infant.
