About us
We are an oil industry family currently living in London after fours years in Texas. Geology has played a large part in our lives; hence the website name. The site started as a way to share our wedding photos with family and friends when we moved to New Zealand from Norway and it evolved as a kind of travel journal. Nowadays we share photos mainly through Facebook so decided to try blogging on for size.
Kirsty
I'm British (half English, half Scottish), formerly a geophysicist and now stay-at-home mum to two kids. I do the writing, including the html. I still enjoy yoga, surfing and snowboarding, but in very small doses these days. I'm more likely to be found cooking, baking or attempting to keep the garden under control in between reading stories and playing in the park. I find being a mum fascinating, entertaining and rewarding.
Niall
Niall is Irish and works as an Exploration Manager for an American oil company. He enjoys rugby, diving and skiing and likes making up silly songs and teaching his children to say "arse" in an Irish accent. He loves being a dad, but can no longer watch any medical drama involving children. Niall takes most of the photographs and keeps the website on track by exercising his managerial skills to "encourage" me to keep writing.
Éila
Éila was born in Texas in 2006. She's very outgoing and loves playing with her friends. She is best mates with everyone, enthusiastic about anything new and extremely determined and competitive. She likes to dress up as a princess.
Cian
Cian was born in Texas in 2008 and is too cute for his own good. He's not as shy as he pretends to be. He loves riding his scooter at great speed and playing with his friends. He's great at sharing and remembering names.
