Half term break

A nice tour of friends and family.

Walking in the Cotswolds

and picnicing!

Playing at Grandma's

And a train trip into London for a dinosaur petting zoo visiting from Australia and a production of "The Queen's Knickers" - both part of 'Imagine' - a children's literary festival.

and to play in igloos.

Friends near Macclesfield

 

with whom we had a pre-emptive celebration of Kitty's upcoming birthday!

Back home and fun with cousins and second cousins. Mr B hadn't met this new addition before.

  

A trip to the local playground is a must...

...and the kids enjoy it too!

Back to school and 'normality' tomorrow.

Something in the water?

Argh! Our children seem to have mutated!

Ceilidh

Last weekend we were dancing the night away at a ceilidh for an  A Rocha friend's 40th birthday. We didn't know many people, but seeing this couple again, after a gap of about 11 years, was a lovely surprise!
