Busy time at work for both Bec and I, plus we are getting very close to our trip to New Zealand, hence plenty of things to plan for.

I'm still smiling about England winning the Rugby World Cup. It is a shame that it wasn't an England vs NZ final though.

Bec is currently enjoying a girl's Christmas lunch with Ruth, Jules and Laura, hence I am banned from the house.

Nothing much of interest to report since last week. I went to a RPM Records party on Wednesday to celebrate the release of the soundtrack to a cult sixties film set in East London called Bronco Bullfrog. Howard Werth from the band Audience who wrote the soundtrack sang a few songs.

On the website front, I've added a link to the website of a friend from Leeds, Graeme Moss. Graeme and Kim, whose own site is already linked, are expecting a baby soon, good luck to them both.

We finally have a dry day in London after what has felt like endless rain. I was half expecting Noah to roll out the ark.

We have had a busy few weeks. In case you have been living in a cave and hadn't heard, England won the World Cup. Yup, that's right, England's rugby heroes are now World Champions. Full credit to them though, it was a great game and they deserved to win. With the help of Brad and Tim I managed one small triumph for New Zealand and beat all my Pommy workmates to win our World Cup Dreamteam mini league. Result.

Andy has been very busy at work finalising budgets but we have managed a few nights out with friends and also had last Friday off work. We went out for brunch in South Kensington then went to the Natural History Museum which was very interesting. There was even a Moa! We then went to the V & A which was filled with lots of things. I liked the Japanese room and Andy was quite taken with the Casts room. After looking at old things that we couldn't buy, Andy uttered the words which every girl dreams of hearing.....'I need shopping therapy'. Once I had recovered from my shock we headed off to Harrods. It was the first time we had been there and it didn't disappoint. It was fab. Everything was fab. I loved all of it, the jewellery, the food, the clothes, the make up (oh the make up) and the shoes. Andy even voluntarily sought out the Jimmy Choo shoes. After a blissful few hours (for me anyway) we headed to Wimbledon for the movies and saw Love Actually which was very good actually. A lovely movie which I thoroughly recommend to anyone.

This week, we went out for dinner with Lydia and Neil on Monday. Last night (Wednesday) we went to a Brits pre show thing at Clapham Grand with Paul and Rachel. Muse, the Sugababes and Big Brovas did a couple of songs each and it was a fun night. It is getting televised at a later date but we weren't on camera as we were sitting up in the balcony on a comfy sofa rather than screaming at the front. Must be getting old.

On the website front, we have added some photos of me and young Oliver in Bournemouth. Ol's website has also been added to our list of links.

I am back from Edinburgh where I had a fabulous time with Katie and Lesley. We had a most enjoyable weekend spent mainly lying on the couch under duvets, watching rugby, videos and chatting. Not to mention eating. We hit the town on Saturday night after Lesley whipped us up some of her Mum's famous strawberry cocktails. Top marks to Lesley and Johanne Hay.

I'm sure Andy missed me terribly but I'm glad to see he got over his woe long enough to add plenty of photos on here.

On Monday Andy and I had booked a day off work and we decided to spend the day as tourists in London on a Big Day of Fun. We went out for brunch by Wandsworth Common then went to town where we explored South Bank under The Eye. We then went to The National Gallery in Trafalgar Square which was fabulous. We decided to head for The British Museum off Tottenham Court Road but got waylaid by a screening of Kill Bill at The Empire in Leicester Square. Andy thought it was excellent but I would have liked more blood and fighting. The Museum had shut by the time the film finished so we did a spot of shopping (result!) at Covent Garden then found a nice looking Mexican place where we had a very nice dinner. It was called La Perla and did fabulous mango margaritas. Then excitement of excitements we went to see Chicago! It was on at The Adelphi on the Strand. The only famous person in it was some old chick off Eastenders who goes out with Brian May but it didn't matter. I loved it although I suspect this time, Andy would have liked more blood and fighting.

We have put some photos of our Big Day of Fun in London on the site as well as few random others. I hope you like them.

The site has now been updated with some more archived photos. In addition we have also started to include narrative with some of the photos. Click on the latest photos section to see. Eventually all the photos will be presented like this, but it will take sometime, as the presentation of the site is changing over time, as we learn more about HTML.

Bec is currently in Edinburgh, Scotland for the weekend visiting friends. As you can see, I am using the opportunity to update the site.

Apart from enjoying the rugby, not much else is happening.

Welcome to the website of Rebecca Mackie and Andy Ellis. We are just learning the dark arts of HTML and therefore this site is work in progress. As a result some of the links may not work.

We hope you like the site, please let us know of any problems with it.
