Lovely Lyme Regis!

The most amazing weather. We swam, sunbathed, built sand castles. We ate bubble gum ice cream (not me) and played in the two penny arcades. We caught mackerel and barbequed them on the beach. We spent time with the Gregorys and the Lovatts came to visit. Massive success.

Summer Break

Working full-time, looking after my two lovelies, listening to Dave (!) and allotmenteering, doesn't leave a lot of time for Blogging, but look at the results....our first courgette! School is out tomorrow and so there'll be more time.

Tilling the soil - allotment progress .....

And then, joy of joys, Tom met his hero in The Maltsters!

Bunnies!

After months of nagging, I have finally given in and bought two of the most gorgeous, 8 week old bunnies. It took the kids an hour to choose these two - they had a choice of seven. Welcome to Cheddar Cheescake (Lucy's) and Freddo (Tom's, yes, after the chocolate bar)

Nervous times watching the 2nd 6 nations match...

....whilst the girls talk to each other through their DS Lites?!

Team A's allotment!

It's gonna take a lot of work, but here is our new project.

Lucy - Capital Academy Champion 2011!

Well done to our beautiful girl. Tom and I were jumping up and down and cheering. xxx

5th in the vault! Well done, little Luce. And well done Tommy, who sat through a whole morning's competition, before hightailing it to Auntie Wenna's, and well done me who sat through the whole 12 hours!

Happy Birthday Dave ...and happy Children In Need Day Too!

Earned some great Mummy Points this morning with my imaginative take on the spotty theme! Wining and dining Dave today as he reaches a massive 46!

Cardiff Gymastics Competition for 8 and 9 year olds..

Lucy 1st on vault and 3rd on bars - amazing! Well done my little girl. xxxx Welsh Novice competition in a fortnight. And no, she doesn't get this from me!

Whooooooo...Happy Halloween xxx

Lily as Bridesmaid

And it's miracle - a photo of Dave and me where we both look reasonably OK. Had to publish it for that reason alone. Don't know why no photos of Luce - too busy running around outside with her new friend.

Allez les rouges!

Gym buddies

Lucy spends 11 hours a week at gym and Tom has found a group of other football and nintendo playing siblings to hang out with at pick up time.

Uncle Peter and Sherry visiting the new DNA

A year on - same children, different uniform.
