It was great that Auntie Matilda was staying at the same hotel as us. The games of 'dobble' were very competitive!!

Team Browning on the Wirral - all smiles at the Premier Inn.

This amused us on our recent trip to the Wirral - obviously not much going on at Port Sunlight station.

A nice sun dappled walk near my work recently.

The cousins had great fun recently on a visit to see the birds of prey at Ladd's Garden Village near Twyford.

I loved this peregrine falcon.

Kezia is very pleased with her good-as-new second-hand England top.

Pumpkin recovering after his recent anti-lice wet-wipe!

Old bike, new bike....Kezia has had a transport upgrade!

Great gig at the lovely, atmospheric Islington Assembly Hall last week.

Great support act, Daniel Meade......

..and of course the truly wonderful Pokey Lafarge and his band. Fantastic.

A lovely half-term trip to the seaside - here we are en route at Brockenhurst.

Arriving at Lymington.

At the Town Quay.

The boats at the marina (and the Isle of Wight ferry in the background).

Don't fall in!!

The view along the coast back to New Milton.

Made it down to the beach.

Kezia just loves the seaside....even if the water is a bit chilly!

The girls on the beach at Highcliffe.

We didn't have a bucket, but we used empty coffee cups to make sandcastles.

Time to warm up after a paddle in the sea.

The coast at Highcliffe is beautiful.

It was lovely to visit Highcliffe Castle again (for the first time since 2009).

Kezia took a dip in the open air salt water swimming pool. My goodness, it was freezing! This photo was taken about half an hour after she got out and she was still warming back up!

The pool was just behind these two sillies.

Team Browning in Lymington.

A final windswept walk around the saltmarshes - Lymington was ace.

In late April and early May, Kezia played at two football tournaments in Thatcham. She really enjoyed it - particularly keeping a clean sheet in goal in a 3-0 win!

Tekkers FC - Kezia's team!

My final football match of 2014-15. Basingstoke v Whitehawk in the Conference South play-off semi-final. A close 1-0 win for Whitehawk (in red) and great fun.
