Maestro in the making

Firstly, some more pictures from our holiday in Wales. Yes, that is a nudey bum you see there on the left (below). William really wanted to go in, after seeing Stephen and Andrew go swimming. Once he was in himself though, he felt the temperature of the water and decided that a quick dip was all that he needed. Back to playing in the sand with all his new spades and buckets, flying kites with daddy, and helping to build sand cars and sand boats to 'zoom' about it.



William and Evelyn playing on the beach. The day we were here, the emergency helicopter came and landed on the beach (with smoke flares to guide the way) - all the kids thought it was VERY exciting.

By the way, Williams' favourite word at the moment is 'lots!'. It is the answer to most questions we ask him. This morning he ate more porridge than Andrew did for breakfast.

Finally, what I think is a pretty cute video.

Churchdoors beach, Manobier, Wales, UK

Mid August, mid-Summer.

Hop little rabbits, hop, hop, hop

This is taken on the green, opposite The Lamb pub in Nomansland, in the New Forest. All the kids know the actions to this song. I think that Andrew could just keep singing the second verse again and again, and perhaps they'd all calmly continue to lie on the ground...or am I dreaming?

Pembrokeshire holiday

First, the brief version of the holiday (entertaining for people NOT living in the UK). We went to a lot of lovely beaches during this holiday. But, in a bit of a typical UK Summer theme, we were rained off,
not once....

Not twice.....

But THREE times!!

I went for a lovely, refreshing, swim at this last beach - so good for the soul.

Weekend in the New Forest with friends

We camped for 3 nights with two other family friends, both with kids (Beatrice, and Maeve) the same age as William. It was loads of fun, if not the usual exhausting experience of life with two year olds. William really enjoyed sleeping in our tent.
