A New Baby.

These people who live close by and we love so dearly because they are ace

have a baby

This boy will grow into this over the next few weeks

and then he will grow some more and some more again which is incredible because he has been so poorly and he can stay awake with the best of them!

By Christmas he has turned into a steam pudding.

Coming to the End of Spring 2015

These are just photos on the computer that don't really mean much to anyone but me they just put keep the days together.
Not to much blossom where we are but just sometimes you are lucky enough to find some on the ground.

Bluebell woods on the other hand have to be driven to.

I went a walking with two very good friends and their little girls. My two were in school it was great!!

Tried to teach P to ride her bike that she had got for her birthday in Dec 2014, the training wheel make things very very slow. She is not happy with the process and actually a year on we are no closer to achieving this skill. In fact she has told me she has no interest in pursuing with the bicycle, she prefers her scooter.

So she just played instead.

Looking back at photos, it looks like I want plaits but settle for head wraps instead as I just can't braid anything and T continues to pull off a WHO impression.

Whilst P is ever more alternative.

I am sure there will be many more posts like these, entries with nothing much to say, which proves a point that I need to update this blog or I will have thousands of photos and no recollection of why I took them in the fist place.

Groombridge Place.

The nurse has been here with her family and said that it was great for kids so along we went one day.
Hello Groombridge Place

If memory serves me right, its barn with good lunch quality and prices, activities for children, canal trip and activity play woods for everyone.

This season the gardens were planted with white. Very nice.

P looks so young.
Once in this walk way you have to go to the end unless you are fit enough to jump over, that might not be true but it is as I remember.
Then we wandered back to the house.

Then we wandered round to see it!!

My dream house!

There is was.

 

 Any guesses?

Is this the lake?
Still lovely even if it didn't evoke long lazy summer days, more brisk British Summer.

There you go just like in the movie

although less washing out and no livestock.

Home from Lanzarote.

Ice creams are always eaten, this time we were wrapped up in hoodies and jumpers.

We were asked to drink bottle water that could be purchased from the shop that was reached from the back gate. Before we left P had candy floss hair, a week of uber minerals in the pipeline, P's hair is smooth as silk. Don't know if I am happy or sad.

She is made up because she endured the kids club a couple of times to get a certificate, T is too cool for school and doesn't want to do the after dinner disco anymore.
G and the girls also like miniature golf.

What we all did whilst we were away was slept. This is not usual behaviour for the females of the family.

Before too long we were back on the plane.

My memory is not great, I am not sure this was a relaxing break more a period of windy limbo, always great to be together and I love my family with every heart beat.

It's a strange island, it could be so cool, like Reykjavik.
For instance there is what seems to be a nunnery in the middle of the island which is basically a couple of sheds and some goats, the Mexican trains for her triathlons there, and there are roads that wind between mountains and some of the beaches really are black. Then you go to a market and its full of toot sold by some expat hippy lady who seems to be surviving on the odd Euro and white wine.
Unless you are living the life where you are driving a jeep that has a gun in the glove comaprtment I am not sure its the place for me.

Pleased to be home safe.
