Sporty boys? They try!






Coming from an active family, and being particularly talented in the area, Joss is exceptionally keen for the boys to be sporty!

Sadly, they have my sporty genes I fear.

Having said that, they do try (sometimes) - and every now and then show a bit of promise. Billy, for example, is now a brown belt in Kung Fu (two belts away from black) - and packs a mean punch. Above is a picture of a Kung Fu exhibition he recently participated in (the Kung Fu masters were amazing -- punching/breaking 3"+ thick blocks of wood etc). And he seems to be good at middle distance running (he's built like an Ethiopian so we should not be surprised). And Archie excels at breaking things (not records however - just things).

Seriously, the sporting/outdoor life here really suits them - every week, they have lessons in rugby; football; tennis (Archie); Kung Fu (Billy) and swimming (they're both good swimmers now -- Billy surprised us by being good @ the Butterfly stroke).
