All quiet on the western front

We enjoyed a few quiet days at home after our hectic road trip before Catherine jetted back to the UK and university life. After Kitty left the temperature plummeted causing us to switch from cooling to heating, but this soon changed on the first day of Autumn as we got hit by a rise in temperatures but now it is quite pleasant.

We've been really boring and other than an evening baby sitting for some friends it has been really quiet, although we we not at all quiet when we babysat.

We did kick things up a notch this Friday when we went to the Birchmere to see the Bacon Brothers in concert. The support act Rebecca Loebe & Raina Rose were a folk duo, had no support and played acoustic guitars as well as a washtub. Their voices were amazing and complemented each other perfectly - check out a video of them - Rebecca & Raina - Clean

Kevin Bacon was definitely the star of the show for most of the audience and he certainly seemed very at ease and had great stage presence but he whole band worked together well and certainly rocked.

The Birchmere is certainly a great venue as you get given a number when you arrive and then they call people through to the music hall where you choose a table and order and eat your dinner whilst waiting for the show to start.

We rounded things off wonderfully by going for a pootle on the fixies over to the National Harbour in the lovely weather today.
