Each year at Christmas we publish EsseryGRAM - a record of events and news over the previous year. They tell as much about us, out interests and how they have developed over the years as anything. Take a look.
Karen and Ed have a mid-life crisis - a red Mazda MX-5 (or Miata) - the best car we ever owned! To see more visit www.miata.net. For practical purposes we also have a Toyota Prius. Our boat and passion is a 34 foor Hanse 342 called Scorpio. In 2010 she took us on an extended cruise of the west coast of Scotland - a trip with its own blog. In 2006, after five years of ownership, we sold SKYBIRD our 27'6" MG Contessa 27 yacht - she replaced ffröhlich - our classic 20 foot Flying Fifteen day racing keelboat we owned from May 1995 to March 2001.
