Not a day over 60. No really.
Last week in celebration of Uncle Ookie’s birthday, a number of us including new riders, Cuz D, Kev and Shan went for nice little ride ending at the driving range pub for a birthday drink.
Kev took a bit of strain riding for the first time in a good couple of decades wile Cuz D managed to get attacked by a reed. Uncle Ookie also decided to shed some skin for his birthday, not quite like the snakes do, but rather left some of it on the pedal. Grusome. Through all the injuries though, at least none of us were doing as bad as Ian who was sitting in a hospital in Pietermaritzburg with a broken foot and thumb.
Bun also learnt how not to use a bomb to pump up tyres. Three down and we resorted to a handpump again.. Sometimes the old technology is the best technology.
Good times. We will post some more of the pics up in another post.

Congratulations to Michael and Maritza and Sam and Brent on the news that there will be yet more pitter patters of little feet this year. Keep us up to date and email scans or news and we will track the progress on this blog for the whole family to see.

Thanks be to Aunty J to host the whole family at her home for an easter hunt. Apart from the deft parking I managed to execute, the kids were very impressed wiht the whole hunt. The Easter Bunny had been busy that morning laying eggs all over the place. How he fitted so many in his little hopipng bum will remain a mystery for now.
So much sugar can’t be a good thing and I have vowed to lay off the choccies for a while. This is the cake I baked. That’s right, I did bake a cake all on my very own.
Ame loving her choccies
Baby Sadie Belle loves choccies too
I think that she’s hunting for the easter bunny…and he’d better be careful…
Little Angel…yeah right 
Duncan ate a sour worm…I think.
Patiently waiting…
Pablo, Bjorn…whatever…I think we found a clown…
Hi all
Yes, that’s right, the Bells are moving into the digital age even if it’s a non-Bell getting them there. By becoming a digital Bell I’m not saying that the Cathedral at Notre Dam has installed a new loudspeaker, nope The Bell Grapevine should be as easilly accessible from your cellphone as it is from a computer and you will be able to be updated on all of the latest goings-on.
After much talk from Uncle Bunny about printing a news paper, I’m sure dont you find this far easier and Uncle Bun will thank me later for saving him so much of money. With family scattered, for the most part, in all over the Southern Hemisphere, this blog is intended to be a resource for family news, updates and funny stories.
Let’s start in simple steps. For now I propose that you send any news and stories which you would like added to The Bell Grapevine to the email address which I’ve email mailed or SMS’d to you. I, teh M0d3r8r, will then take some time to post the story on your behalf. You simply then just check in a day later and voila. (I hope) Eveything is there.
When I have some more spare time I will put together a comprehensive guide, or manual if you will, to uploading your own stories on this blog. It will require a login and some rudimentary understanding of the websites and writing, so if you are keen let me know.
I think the goal is to publish something at least a few times a week - one or twice, I’m not pushy – so as to not let this die and be confined to halls of fogotten projects. Remeber anything is news and rather send all you have than nothing at all. Also, remember that pictures speak a thousand words in the words of some great fellow whose name escapes me right now, so if you have a couple of those then send ‘em along too.
Right, so that is it for the first installment, I will load some other stuff up in the mean time so at least you have some pretty pcitures by the time that you log on.
