Post Christmas

Hot chocolate after a ride to the park on an icy winter day, Lego, pirates and more Lego...

Getting into the "big craft" (the stack of 8 plastic draws behind her are full of craft bits & pieces)

Not as good as last year but Gwen did get to help.

At the park

Gwen particularly likes this park because we bump into her bestie almost everytime we go (but not today sadly)

Gwen & Mum's totally amazing London adventure

This weekend Gwen & I went to London for the weekend. We started with a train to Paddington station, then a walk through Hyde Park, including  about 5 or 6 laps around the Princess Diana memorial fountain/death trap (water + granite with sharp edges + slime + kids running and splashing), a boat trip in the solar shuttle, afternoon tea and, as she had walked at least 4 kms by now, a quick nap for Gwen on my lap in a noisy cafe. 

A few more kms and we were at our hotel in Kensington. (Over 6 kms in total, which Gwen did walk/run probably all but the last km of)

Sunday was a quick trip to the butterfly section of the Natural History Museum (30 mins queues to get into the main event so we skipped it), and onto the theatre for  the Tiger who came to Tea where Gwen hid behind the seat until the show started but was fine after that. 

Now we are home and exhausted, but happy – Gwen disappeared for a few minutes after we got home and once the eerie silence got to me I found her having just painted her nails with Lucy's nail polish, without making any mess anywhere but on her hands.

A lovely weekend with a very cheeky monkey

Summer

A weekend of parties and paddling pools and bubbles and running…

Jump!

Some good weather and a trip to the park.

Easter at Blenheim

A cold day but not as cold as when we came last year (it snowed).
