Where to begin . . . . we are now in France, Strasbourg to be precise close to the German border, it seems very nice so far although we have sadly spent much of the day indoors due to some bad weather, I guess the rain had to catch up with us eventually. You're going to have to bear with me as this keyboard is a bit hazadous to get on with as these French types have cleverly re-arranged all the keys making it an uphill struggle to type anything remotely coherent - phew.

Over the last few weeks it's been a bit of a nightmare to add any updates as the tinternet has been rather expensive and time has become a little pressed. Over the last few days we have tried to catch up a bit and have added some much more recent photos, so if you haven't checked back in a while you should find lots of new albums from Copenhagen, Berlin, Prague, Heidelberg and Interlaken.

We've been having a fantastic time and on the whole the weather has been fantastic too, although we have been caught out a couple of times - particularly in Heidelberg when we got caught half way back from, the castle and ended up seeking shelter in a random portaloo we stumbled across whilst running for cover (much to some onlookers amusement).

Talking of Heidelberg we must thank Horst and Petra again for inviting us to stay in their very nice house, not to mention all the food and local beer. It was really great to see you both and Lena and hopefully we'll see you again soon! Whilst I'm doing thankyous I should also say thanks to Lowe Alpine for my shiny new bag - for those that didn't know mine broke and was being held together by some crafty stitching by Dani since Vienna!

Right I really better tie this up, enjoy all the new photo's. We've tried to include a few more of us for all the people that complain there aren't enough - although why you would want to look at our, ok my ugly mug is beyond me. Right everyone, Cheerio ta ta, Much Love as always  - PS I hope Di, Mel, Kim and whoever else was going enjoy(ed / s) the Hen party in Paris, don't wreck the place before I've seen it xxx

We made the most of the sunshine today with a trip out to National Trust Packwood house and gardens. Given the nice weather we decided to give the house a miss and spend the time wandering around the garden.

The sun was out, the sky was blue and the flowers were in full bloom, making for a lovely day out. We spotted some dragon fly and butterflies and even a hummingbird moth that zipped around a little too quickly for a decent photo. All in all, a nice day out, enjoy the photos!

Having added some media queries to make the site more mobile friendly, it very quickly came to my attention that the fancy new gallery was not mobile friendly. After a quick google I found the the same question had been published on stackoverflow.

All that was required was copying the following into the _setDimenion function

$(F.outer).on('swipeleft', function() {
   F.next();
});

$(F.outer).on('swiperight', function() {
   F.prev();
});

and then the following two JQuery plugins need to be included in your code

plugins.jquery.com/event.move/
plugins.jquery.com/event.swipe/

Simple!

It looks like the new fancybox 3 beta version natively supports swipe - but hey ho!
