People, Picnics and a Wedding.

Its been a busy few weeks since we saw you last... We have seen lots of new friends. This is Albion and Clara. I looked after Clara when I first arrived in London many years ago - she is turning 18 this year, she was 11 when I started looking after her!


This is her little sister Mia who was born when I was looking after Clara - time has certanily flown!

As the weather has been so wonderful we have been making the most of it and having some lovely picnics in the park. 
This is Alby in Brockwell Park where we went and saw Hannah, Jon, Orla and their friends.

Aunty Sarah came and visited last weekend. It was so lovely to see her - she is going away soon so we want to hang out with her as much as possible!

We went into our park and sat under the trees... It was lovely!

 Alby loves having his clothes off so he hung out in his singlet and nappy!

People have been so generous with presents and we were givin this travel cot by a colleague of Don's - Gareth. he drives the motorbike when Don is filming cycling and other things.

 We had a lovely catch up with Liz and Paul Armstrong who were over here for a christening and a wedding. It was so lovely to see them!

Here are a couple of snaps of Alby walking in the park when he is supposed to be asleep... Cute!

Don has been working on the build up to the Royal Wedding for the last few weeks and also worked on the big day. Here's what he's been up too...
This is him on the London Eye.


With Will's and Kate.

 Dame Edna!

 The rehearsal the morning before the wedding... Very early!
  His vantage point for the wedding - not a bad spot!


Wills and Harry arriving.

Harry, Charles and Camilla heading to the Palace.

In front of Buckingham Palace.

 Don having a go at presenting... I wonder what they thought of him in the States?!

Albion and I went to out new friends Pete and Mia's house to watch it... Alby preferred to watch us.

He and his friend Hazel did watch for a bit.

But he wished he was closer to the action with his Dad...

On Saturday we went for a picnic in the park with Pete, Mia and Hazel... As usual we went overboard with the photos!









The most exciting news this week though is that Hannah, Jon and Orla Hill have a new addition. Sylvie arrived yesterday and we can't wait to meet her! Also our friends Mo and Jeremy had a little boy this morning who we can't wait to meet too. We are now waiting for our new cousin to arrive! Come on baby Gemmill!
