Welcome

Welcome to our family website, a look into the lives of the Walker-Smith family, well thats the idea

To find out more about us read the whoweare page, to find out more about this site have a look at the colophon... hmm which doesn't yet exist

This site as it stands at present looks excellent on Mac, with Sarari, Netscape7.1, and Mozilla Firebird0.7, and now IE. If it looks bad in your browser, either buy a Mac or upgrade to the latest browsers!

This is a work in progress, I hope to turn the whole site over to this look and feel over the next few days, so this site may not be working 100%, esp in those pesky window browsers.

And that was the weekend

Four events. Three medals. One of each metal. Swimming wise it was not a bad weekend. However my club the Autoclub did not win the competition, such a shame.

Pamela, Andreas's sister, came around yesterday, we had a lovely pasta salad, followed by a trip to get ice creams and with a detour to watch some rugby. Rugby here in Anto is played on sand/dust pitch, looks terrible for the players.

Saturdays highlight was spent trying to find a lightfitting for the babies room, seems they do not exist here in Anto. We want to have a paper lamp shade, one of those globe type ones.

And that was just some of the weekend.
