A rather long post...

It feels like a while since we last were here so we have lots to show you... 

Firstly here is a video of Alby's Splashathon. One of his classmates Grandparents kindly filmed it for us. Thanks to everyone who sponsored Alby. The money is going to a wondeful charity.

A couple of weeks ago Don was away working so Alby and I went on a City Break to London and stayed next door to the Hill's while their neighbours were away. It was a lovely couple of days. 


Here are some snaps of Alby on their lawn.





And here is Han and Alby having a chat.


It was a bit sunny.

But lots of fun.

Alby loves Sylvie.

And Orla.

 The next day was our NCT reunion. Everyone made it apart from Chole. I think you've met most of Alby's friends. From Alby clockwise there is Gabriel, Cerys, Hazel, Charlotte and Noah. Amelia was there too but she was snoozing so missed the photo!

On Thursday Don came home and Stan and Marion returned from their trip up to Scotland so we are back to a full house. We have been trying to spend as much time with Hannah, Jon, Orla and Sylvie as we can as they leave in a few weeks. They came and had a picnic with us on Friday. It was great!

Sylvie and Alby hung out in the living room for a bit.



Orla told Marion a great story.


We had a lovely spot in the park and the sun shone all afternoon.

And Alby had his first taste of food... Two spoonfulls of pear. He LOVED it!

There were lots of cuddles for everyone.



And Baxter watched on.


It was a very special afternoon.
On Sunday evening after Don got home form work we headed to Wales for a few nights in our favourite place on the Gower Peninsula.

We stopped and had fish and chips in Windsor Great Park on the way. Alby enjoyed it...



And Baxter met a swan.

We went back to the Shepards Huts we stayed in last year. It was a bit of a squeeze with the four of us (Don, me, Alby and Baxter) but we managed. 

Here's breakfast and a story.


We went for a lovely walk on the beach. Alby looked pretty groovy with his straw in his hat.
 


Stan and Marion stayed in the other hut so Alby got lots of cuddles with Grandma.


The horses were interested in breakfast.


And we made some space for Alby to roll... which he can now go from back to front and front to back... from both sides!


The sun came out on Tuesday and we had another lovely beach walk.



Then after breakfast this morning we headed homeward.




A wonderful holiday!

We are home again now for a few days and then hope to head to the South Coast for a few days next week while Don is working on the Isle of Wight.

See you soon.
