Our lilac bush

The lilac bush in our garden is looking lovely at the moment, though sadly it only seems to last for 2 weeks of the year.

Hazard in the security area!

A couple of times lately, we have been to this particular playground in the far corner of Palmer Park, where we don't often go. We have dubbed it the 'Faraway Park'. One thing that Kezzie particularly likes is this slide which is made of rollers, like something you find at an airport baggage security check. It is fun.

Kezia can write her name

Kezia has been quite keen on writing her name with help for a while now, but about 10 days ago, she got a piece of paper and a pen, and a few moments later said: "Mummy I have written my name". This is the result. Clever little thing!

A day out at Bucklebury Farm Park

Last week we went to Bucklebury with Katie & Uncle Mike. Daddy had only been once before and that was ages ago, so it was great to go back. The kids had picnic lunch, fed the animals, and wore themselves out on the adventure playground. It was great fun. Bucklebury is Kate Middleton's home village. Sadly no sign of the bride to be - in fact, there wasn't even a single bit of bunting to be seen!

Snack time for one hungry sheep, who took a particular liking to Daddy's trousers.


Deer oh deer


Feeding time


It was a nice surprise to bump into Joe, James and Bekah at Bucklebury as well. Kezia's friend Ollie (who goes to the same childminder) was there too. All the kids had fun playing together.

No goats were harmed during the making of this photograph

The goat easily had the better of the girls; the goat could fit through the fence at any point - the girls could not!

Since we last went they have installed this superb 'jumping pillow' (a bouncy castle with no walls!) - the girls thought it was ace.
