The weather has finally picked up a bit - just in time to wish you a very happy birthday! 

Having added some media queries to make the site more mobile friendly, it very quickly came to my attention that the fancy new gallery was not mobile friendly. After a quick google I found the the same question had been published on stackoverflow.

All that was required was copying the following into the _setDimenion function

$(F.outer).on('swipeleft', function() {
   F.next();
});

$(F.outer).on('swiperight', function() {
   F.prev();
});

and then the following two JQuery plugins need to be included in your code

plugins.jquery.com/event.move/
plugins.jquery.com/event.swipe/

Simple!

It looks like the new fancybox 3 beta version natively supports swipe - but hey ho!

So a couple of years ago we went on a big summer holiday to America. Having been teachers for a while we thought it was about time we made good use of the holiday before they eventually take it off us, and so we headed off to America for 4 and a half weeks. Unfortunately the website was not up and running at that time, and so we weren't able to document the trip on here. Now that everything is running fairly smoothly and to celebrate a brand new shiny gallery, I've added some more photos. There's quite a few, organised into the different cities that we visited during the trip to please have a browse. Sign up, leave some comments and let us know what you think. 

For those interested in the new gallery - its powered using the FanscyBox 2 JQuery library. It was pretty straight forward to add in, although there was a fair bit of head scratching involved to get the photo comments back up alongside images. I'm pretty happy with the results though. Enjoy the photos
