As Pooce and Kootcha relax after their 12 hour kips, those of us out of the shot rush round like mad things, to keep them in a manner to which they are rapidly becoming accustomed.

And below, Kootcha revs himself up for his daily outing in the pram to collect his big sister from nursery or meithrin. The photographer gets dressed up in wet weather gear to oblige.

Rain rain go away .....

... and wait til I go back to work before you come again.

Both kids asleep in the pram, outside in the pouring rain, leaving me time to change sopping jeans and have revitalising tea and biscuit. Oh the joys of living in Wales. Lucy loves prancing around with umbrella and wellies and Tom laughed his head off at his first proper soaking in the park.

It beats staying in bed.... or does it?

Proof positive.....

...At last, some evidence that the Pooce does bear some resemblance to Speedy. I am so proud!
