Day 262

I wasn’t sure what to shoot today, as my back was hurting and so I didn’t move around much – but after a ride out with daddy, Alexei wanted to show me how good he is on his balance bike, so I quickly popped outside to watch. Think he is ready for pedals now!

Day 264

After a go-kart party, and a winning performance, Barnaby was on great form and happily obliged to be a model in a field full of rapeseed. His willingness to pose did not extend to having a natural expression, or even smile, and so I had to let him show off his medal in order to […]

Day 262

OK, I admit that i took this picture from the van – but I did pull over and it did give me some height to see over the tops of the first few rows of plants. I might try to get another image soon of a sharper background, so that it is more obvious how […]

Day 261

Day 260

Although Felix did put himself forward for a photo after a pub lunch, I thought this moody sky in the late evening was a welcome change than yet […]

Day 259

My son is obsessed with trash packs, and so was delighted when his trash lorry came today, having spent some birthday money on it! It is surely a fad, but he seems smitten so far and there is a great recycling message there, so how can I argue? It is better than us spending money […]

Day 257

Today was, once again, miserable, and as I have been finding it hard to move in the last couple of days, I did not want to venture far. So, whilst hubby took the boys to do strenuous activities, I popped into the back garden to snap some tulips I have in a pot. Apart from […]

Day 256

It was Grandpa’s birthday on Wednesday, but we didn’t see him then, and so everyone was very excited at his visit today. I am not sure if the kids were more worked up about seeing him, or blowing out the (numerous) candles on his cakes …. two cakes and each child had to take each cake […]
