as mark twain put it: 'twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than the ones you did do. so throw off the bowlines. sail away from the safe harbor. catch the trade winds in your sails. explore. dream. discover.'

 robert made me a lovely necklace from these flowers, i think they're called primula, but that seems like it's the name of that cheese you get in a tube?

 happy cactuses! i think the one in front has just been prickled, and the one on the right has farted.
 
 horses at the belmopan agricultural fair. neigh neigh.

 tweet tweet! a birdie that came to have breakfast with us at the river camp at chaa creek. silly birdie that glass is for your orange juice.

 sunset in placencia. nothing funny about that.

 iggy pop! in our back yard.

 our local fruit and veg shop. i always wonder if those bananas hanging up are real, if so they must have to re hang new ones every couple of days or they'd be stinky and covered in flies, and they never are. they could be plastic perhaps.

 james bus line! could we use it in the wedding proceedings somehow jim?
 an old hospital on the way down the hummingbird highway.

 children cartwheeling on the beach in placencia.

 a beautiful flower. oh i wish i was a bee.

 boat's eye view of our house in placencia. we sit on the screened in balcony and have coffee in the morning.

 a cloud and a tree.

 a different cloud and some other trees. one of them is very drunk and being sick in the sea.

 if you look closely you will see this shop is called 'fair brothers pawn'. bet you didn't know belizeans had such a sharp sense of irony.

  a small fish that got caught on my fishing rod on our barge trip back from the island. the hook had somehow got stuck in his back, he hadn't taken the bait. not very impressive fishing. he was alive and we threw him back you'll be pleased to hear. i don't like fishing and will try to avoid it in future.

me walking in the jungle with our guide at lamanai. sarah you will like this one as the foreground palm leaves are in focus, and the people in the background are blurred.

me and the lamanai guide sheltering from the rain under a palm leaf. it was pretty exciting but i don't think the rain or the excitement is visible in this photo.

Urrrgh Monkeys... glad it was on lead though, so it couldn't try and sit on your shoulder. I totally would have run... fast.

The picture of the tree being sick is my favourite, closely followed by the cactus and the one of you fishing in a rather nice nautical stripy top.
