Up The Saguenay Without A Paddle











It is wonderful to hear all the good news from China and can't wait to meet Felix in 6 months time!
Dara and I have just returned from a week on a tall ship on the Saguenay Fjord, a 100 mile long marine highway into northern Quebec through stunning mountain scenery. The ship - the "Caledonia" - is beautiful and we were two of only 17 guests on the ship with a crew of 20. We saw tons of whales from the ship, including pure white beluga whales and this finback, the second largest creature ever to roam the earth. Chris climbed the rigging whilst under sail, while Dara tolerantly reviewed his life insurance details 100 feet below...We were able to visit tiny fjord-side communities via the zodiacs, bike up 400 foot high sand dunes, sea-kayak through the fjord rip tides and horseback ride through the forests to a mountaintop overlooking the fjord. Then we broadcast a show on the week. Now if only every show was like this...
Love Chris and Dara xxx

Felix Henry






Hello Family!
The Olympics are approaching and the censors are crumbling under the pressure... decided to have another try at hacking into the Blog after reading Silly Uncle Peter's last post and we're in! All is well here in Babyland, Felix will be 3 weeks old on Thursday and continues to delight his parents, his big sister and his Nana...he's doing well, despite the heat (his Nana's wilting a little!), and is now weighing in at over 8 lb (3.68 kg)... feeding well, definitely a boob man, like his daddy... and has a fondness for sleep, preferably on his father's/grandmother's chest. He's a generally placid little creature, who likes sleeping like a frog, making snuffly noises and drinking milk...shows little interest in the world in general, but does make an exception for boobs and cuddles, and is quite partial to his big sister, who is taking her new responsibilities very seriously, and is excelling at putting nappies in the bin, stroking and getting toys, and only occasionally asks me to stop feeding him!
Wishing you all love, and can't wait to be all together at Christmas...will try and get on here more often!
Happy Birthday Maddy - is the boat going to be big enough for the two of them?!
