In case you've been wondering where the blog updates have been over the past three months, we've been attempting to get back to the 'real world' in our new home. So instead of trying to review in detail what on earth we've been up to since we last checked in, we'll take you, in no particular order, through a whistlestop tour of the best bits... 1.
