Isaac’s First Day In Nursery
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on June 16th, 2009
Yesterday was Isaac’s first full day in Nursery. It all went OK, he slept both in he morning and evening. He also ate a lot of his food, especially his pudding! He seamed good when we picked him up too.
The nursery we have picked is Bridge House, which is attached to Ashford School. I am sure we have made the right choice in nursery and Faye seams to be enjoying the challenges of being back at work.
I am always saying I will post more pictures, but I will! I will do another post soon with some 9 month pictures of Isaac and some picture of our day out to Hever Castle which we visited on my Birthday. Thanks all for my Birthday cards and presents 
Isaac Russell Wood – 3 Months doing hand and foot prints
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on December 23rd, 2008
At the weekend we attempted to get hand and foot prints from Isaac to go into his red record book. We had mixed results but they look OK. Isaac is doing very well still growing and smiling a lot. Only 2 days now until his first Christmas, how exciting!
Here is the video of the hand a foot prints.
It has only taken 3 months but now Isaac is on youTube
Isaac Russell Wood – Weeks 3 to 9 – More Photos
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on November 17th, 2008
OK so I have not been as good as I was hoping I would be at posting photos of Isaac. Finally here are some more photos of the little man. These are all from week three to week nine.
Both Faye and I are starting to get the hang of this parenting lark. Isaac is doing really well he is 13lb1 now and growing well. In the last week he has started getting very vocal and the week before he started smiling.
Thank you all again for the lovely clothes you have given Isaac, he likes them all. More photos soon… Hopefully
Baby boy is here – Isaac Russell Wood – Week One
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on September 22nd, 2008
So it has happened. Faye gave birth to a lovely baby boy on Monday 15th September 2008 at 10:31pm. He weighed 8lb9 and we have named him Isaac Russell Wood.
The first week has been busy and tiring, but Isaac and Faye are both well. Here are some photos for you all, as lots of people have been asking me for some. I will try to give regular updates here so you can all see how he is progressing.
Thanks for all the cards and messages.
Baby due today, but no news yet…
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on September 11th, 2008
As most of you know Faye my wife is expecting our first born today. For those that didn’t know, you know now. We have our car seat now, a nice Maxi-Cosi Cabriofix in Trail colour. Tonight we should get our pushchair, a Phil & Teds Sport in Apple Green. Also we have our nice fluffy Bamboo reusable nappies, which are cool.
With the help of my Dad we now have a wardrobe in the nursery. I just need to finish decorating now, I will get round to it eventually.
Anyway just thought I would post to say no news yet but once there is some news or pictures I will post them here for all to see.
Thanks for all the thoughts and wishes!
A Video Of Me Flying My Kite
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on March 23rd, 2007
I thought I would post a video of me flying my PKD Buster 3m. I had good fun scudding about the beach as you can see in the video. This was filmed in Somerset by Sarah on 13/07/05.
I’m going out with my kites again tomorrow down at Greatstone. I am starting to get the hang of my HQ Crossfire 5m, did some little jumps a couple of weekends ago. I am hoping to get a go a kite boarding tomorrow, so more kite pictures and videos to follow soon. Enjoy
New Green Eco Website
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on February 22nd, 2007
I though I would take some time to post about a new website I have been working on called “be more green“. The site came about after Faye my wife commented on that fact that she was finding it hard to find information all in on place on topics like Vegetable Box Schemes and Composting. With many companies and local councils offering products and schemes to allow us to all “be more green“, the idea is to collate all this information in one place.
I have to give Faye the credit for the idea, but I am pleased with the work I have done to make the site live. Anyway take a look and leave feedback on the forums and hopefully in time the site will become a rich resource for all things environmentally friendly.
My Site One Year On
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on February 13th, 2007
In 2 days time this site would have been live in it’s current format for a year. In this year there has only been 23 posts, that approximately 2 a month. I love the site in its current format, but the reason I made it like this was to make it easier for me (and other people) to publish articles up here frequently. So I have decided one thing I am going to strive to do from now on is post more, and add more content to the site. I regularly search google and find no good results for the subject I am looking for. By posting on subjects I find little info on, I can use the site as a reference for the future and other people can benefit too. Look out for lots of posts coming soon.
It’s My Birthday Today

Blood Bowl Renews My Interest In Warhammer 40k
Posted by: Simon Wood in Lifestyle on February 22nd, 2006
When I was younger, roughly between the ages of 13 and 17, I was very much into Warhammer 40k and it’s various spin off’s. I have not played with any of this stuff for about 9 years and it has been collecting dust in my parents loft, but last night I had a game of Blood Bowl and now I want to dig out all my Warhammer 40k stuff again!
A couple of nights ago I was chatting to a mate about routing round in our parents lofts and digging out old stuff, he mentioned that he wanted to retrieve Blood Bowl from his parents house. Upon hearing about a game that I enjoyed in my youth we got chatting and he asked if I wanted to play sometime. Well last night was the night we only had one game of Blood Bowl due to time constraints, and I got beaten 2-0, but it was great! I really enjoyed it and we chatted about playing it more in the coming months.
I also text another mate today who I played with years ago to tell him I had enjoyed a nice game of Blood Bowl. He replied all joyful and excited, which lead me to spending most of today trying to catch up on 9 years of not following Warhammer 40k at all. From what I can gather there have been some new releases of the rules since I stopped playing. I think we can play with our old rules but either way I may have a Warhammer 40k battle in the not to distant future, once I have dug all my bits out my parents loft.
I’m really excited at the idea of routing through my painted figures, and if a battle does happen soon you can be sure I will post all the details here!
