Hi, this is David and Ivy Bell. David is English, and comes originally from Newcastle upon Tyne in the North of England. Ivy is Filipina, coming originally from Malabuyoc on the island of Cebu, but her family is now in Davao City on Mindanao. We met in the Philippines when David was on holiday, and got married in April 2001. We had our honeymoon in Los Banos, on the shore of Laguna de Bay in Luzon. Ivy joined David in England in August. Shortly afterwards, we held a service of blessing for our wedding, a good excuse for David's English relatives & friends to meet Ivy. Our son Charles was born in November 2002. David also has a daughter, Georgina, from his previous marriage; she was born in 1990, and is at school in Oakham in the county of Rutland in central England. We live in a village near Cambridge, on the Eastern side of England.

Ivy first thought of this website in 2003, as a convenient way of keeping in touch with her family in the Philippines and friends around the world, and to try a new challenge. Having Charles delayed the project for a while, but we eventually got started in Summer 2004. Our having no prior experience of website design proved no barrier, thanks to some helpful advice from friends and visitors to the site. You see the result .....
