6th wedding anniversary

Andrew and I celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary with two traditional gifts.

Iron: see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Li4AvjG6Q98 (and yes, that is exactly how our garden sounds)

Sugar: High tea at The Old Parsonage (although the experience with kids wasn't quite as uber-posh as most meals here). Macaroons with glittery bits on them are yummy.

Two recent milestones for the kids are that William can ride a peddle bike all by himself (including starting off!) and that Sophie no longer calls William "Wuh Wuh" but now "Wim mem". Progress!

William's school sports day

I watched William and his class at their school sports day today. It was made that much more exciting by the (real) Olympic torch and gold medal Olympian (Lily was the cox for the LTAMix4+ boat which won gold in the Paralympics). William got to hold her gold medal!It was really heavy, he said.
