Hello, and thanks for dropping by.

This is an idea I have had for a while, and thanks to the help of my good friend and colleague Dan Slade it is now a reality.

The J-B’s and our family and friends are spread far and wide around the planet and I thought it would be a nice idea to have a central source for news, photos and videos so you can check in from time to time and see what we have been up to.

We will be posting all sorts of things here – Updates on Mark and Jackies Dakar plans and news from all the family in Canada. News and photos from my band Stuntdog and Tommy’s too – Keltik Fish. Travel photos and videos. Life at IPH Print. I will even try and get Marge to write a blog and say hello to you all. It will be a fun place to check in to once in a while. Please use the comments section and let us know what you all have been up to, and if you have a story or pictures you would like to share – send them to me pete@jennings-bates.co.uk and I’ll post them for everyone to see .

Well, that was my first ever blog. Short and sweet. I had better go and get writing some interesting stuff.

Best wishes.

Pete
