		<title>Autumnal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This year, for the first time since returning to South Africa from England, May felt like Autumn, not Spring, and the usual autumnal wanderlust bit deep. Autumn was made for walking. At latitudes where the seasonal change is stark the reasons are obvious. &#8220;I could walk all day&#8221; becomes a mere 6-hour commitment, preferably with [...]]]></description>

		<title>6-lane Highway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Six. Wow. Two weeks in, this still seems pretty strange. Name confusion has pretty much settled down now; I&#8217;m fairly confident I really do know the difference between Emily-A and Iris-&#8217;ella. The change is a bit like adding a sixth lane to a five-lane highway. Everything keeps going in the same direction, in pretty much [...]]]></description>

		<title>Welcome Iris</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And so it came to pass, in the 775th week of their union, that Michelle and James welcomed Iris Raphaella Adlard into the breathing, seeing, feeling world. She weighed 4.34kg (9.57lb) and was 52cm long at 13.35 on the 12 February, 9 months and one week after she began.]]></description>

		<title>The Grinder</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was given some great beans for my birthday. Having utterly failed to hook up with any of the people I know with grinders I have resorted to grinding the proper way. Turns out it&#8217;s not a little satisfying, if a little time consuming. Appeals to my enjoyment of precision and ritual &#8230; I&#8217;m an [...]]]></description>

		<title>There is no z in Vuvuzela</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The vuvuzelas have sounded like a swarm of bees all morning here. All night they sounded more like the tractor-scaring scene from Cars. For those of you without small children or an in-built drive to watch anything Pixar studios produces, that&#8217;s a couple of cars honking their horns in the midst of a field of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ready to roll!</title>

		<title>Packing up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I drove to Cape Town on Saturday to prepare the house for packers. For those of you unfamiliar with the geography and/or process, that&#8217;s about twelve hours driving, two days dismantling-arranging-cleaning-preparing, a day entertaining packers, and a day entertaining packers and loaders (which is today). I&#8217;ve had to modify the Renault slightly to cope: The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wonderful girls &#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We moved into our new house on Thursday last. What incredible excitement! When I imagined the girls coming to the house I hoped for excitement but couldn&#8217;t be sure they wouldn&#8217;t be unsettled by the experience. I wasn&#8217;t at all prepared for the singing, dancing, squealing joy that accompanied the move. We really are most-very-extremely [...]]]></description>
