Have sledge, will travel

A mini sledge and an old dressing gown cord is all you need to get around! We pulled Kezia half a mile like this to get to Katie's on Sunday (and half a mile home again) - she loved it!

Fun in the snow at the Creeches

Katie's back garden is on a slope, so it was ideal for having fun in the snow last weekend.

Last football photos for a while - I promise

I don't want this turning into a football blog, but I just wanted to post some pictures from Tranmere's games at Brentford and Coventry last week. The first time I have been to consecutive Tranmere away games for over 7 years.

First views of the ground

Some action shots from the game

A proper football ground. I love Brentford - especially when we win!

Will celebrating our victory at Brentford

Coventry v Tranmere - the spaceship has landed

Freezing cold night in Coventry, Tranmere lost. Great fun though!

The Tranmere fans (I nicked this photo from someone else)

If you look very closely, you can just about see me. I am above the right-most "Ricoh" word, about three rows above the "R", just above the black seating. There are two of us sitting next to each other. One of them is me.

The away end - love this photo!

This bloke chose to stand all on his own for the whole game.

The 'office block' side

It wasn't exactly full!

The official crowd was given as 9,668 (in a 32,000 stadium). It looked WAY less than that to me.

A Tranmere 'Ultras' sticker (apologies for the bad language on the orange sticker - I blame Preston North End!)

One of our better chances in the second half. We lost 1-0. Ho hum

Game shot!

Kezia had to go to bed before the Lakeside darts final had finished last night, so she asked if I could put the result on a sheet of paper on her bedroom floor. In the end, I actually forgot to leave the piece of paper where she could find it, but I was quite pleased with the artwork.

Challenging for the title!

This is Kezia's first go at updating our magnetic league ladders. Paternal influence can't quite knock Chelsea off top spot, but we are working on it. Apologies to any Spurs fans out there.

Fun first visit of the year to Dinton yesterday

It was very muddy!

It WAS muddy, although Kezia did really well riding her bike most of the way round the route. She didn't fall off once, and she loved it.

Feeding a swan (who wasn't actually all that interested)

A bit of football nostalgia

I have nicked this from a football nostalgia website, "The Football Attic", which I follow. This is just for my Mum, Kezia's Gran, who worked with Alan Young for a while at Henshaw's (after he had retired as a footballer!)

A trip to see Grandpa & Grandma Sue

We started the year with a trip up to County Durham to see Grandpa & Grandma Sue. It was lovely to see them.

A slightly blurred but smiley first photo of Team Browning for 2013

The pink blob is Kezia's 'pillow pet' Pinky!

A tricky manoeuvre at Lanchester playground...

Raggy Aggie

We went to the park in Lanchester. It was empty when we got there and then a little girl arrived....by horse! The horse was called Raggy Aggie.

Kezia and the fox (there are a whole load of these carved animals along the river in Lanchester)

A smiley bauble (or something?) at Gateshead Metrocentre

Ace fun with Auntie Hannah - a Disney movie followed by pizza - brilliant

Now, you just keep smiling while Daddy pinches some cake...
