He slept pretty much the whole of the first day, an we were worried he wasn't eating enough. Then the second and third day he's been feeding and crying. He got about an hour's sleep and is feeding again now :p

This birth pic is my absolute favourite Matthew!
Its brilliant, says so so much about what I understand of Caroline's birthing experience...serenity, exhaustion, at one with nature...I don't know the words to express what it says to me...makes me cry with emotionIts amazing, she is amazing...that's all

WOW! Fantastic job Caroline.. So happy. FELICITATIONS! With such a big baby he can wear my hat already! ;-)
See you as soon as we can. Make sure Matt looks after you even more while you recover from the birth.
I am so happy happy that you are all fine and healthy.

Lots of Belgian love all the way from Norfolk.

Mr dod :-) xxxx

:| Caroline must be properly exhausted! Thinking of you guys, hope it all goes smoothly, if not quickly.

William Russell — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 13:37:46 -0000

Just got home from work - I guess you're probably in the middle of birth at the moment! Good luck with it all!

Hi Cheryl

We didn't read much about Takihata Waterfalls before our trip. We just went on a whim, and I'm pretty sure we didn't actually find them. There was very little info after we got off the bus.

So... I guess to answer your question, if you have enough info with you (e.g. a map with the landmarks) you shouldn't have any trouble. It was a very sleepy area, but there was a shop where we got snacks. Maybe if you find the waterfalls themselves, there might be more in the way of signs and tourist info etc. The terrain was hilly, but not really bad.

We weren't prepared enough, so although we had a nice time paddling, we missed out on the waterfalls. (We had also just climbed Mt Fuji, so weren't willing to walk far without knowing we were going the right way!)

Hi Matt, I just chanced upon your site while looking for more information on the Takihata waterfalls. From your experience there, is it easy for inexperienced hikers to find their way around the waterfall area? Thanks!

Eurgh... probably the same reason photos emailed from iPhone end up sideways half the time when viewing on Windows.

What caused the photo to be upside-down? :P

Re: Epic post about tea. From 1946

Tea is a whole new experience when you have it unsweetened. You should definitely try again. You can enjoy the flavour of the tea (rather than the sugar), and apparently tea without sugar is _good_ for your teeth! (though not the colour of your teeth)

Re: Epic post about tea. From 1946

William Russell — Tue, 06 Dec 2011 13:17:08 -0000

Argh, I read (in "Nice Cup of Tea and a Sit Down") that 10 days without sugar was enough to never turn back, and indeed Orwell says the same, only a fortnight rather than 10 days. I tried it, figuring that 10 days was nothing, but caved in. Tea without sugar is just empty. Should I try again?
