Getting excited!

Sunday morning and I'm going to Luke's party. Coming home I find Dick and Anne just getting out of the car. They have come for lunch.Home grown tates, parsnips,dwarf beans and courgettes were on the menu! I had already had some lunch at the party so I only had some pudding. It was lovely to have them for the afternoon but soon it was time to say goodbye and go in to help mummy pack the bags. We went to sleep waiting for our holiday adventure to begin...

Time to say goodbye

Pancakes for breakfast and a last play with Blythe and a walk with Polly before waving goodbye to Lorraine , Jeremy & co.






In the afternoon we went up to the pool, played with friends and after helping daddy fencing the school pond Becky came back to our house to play.... unfortunately she twisted her ankle falling off the zip slide on her second go and sat on the sofa watching TV with us for the rest of the time!!! I hope it isn't serious and the swelling goes down...... Family tea and bed for a very tired Stainsby gang.

Another rainy day!









We went for a walk and got soaked!

We went to ostler's plantation to give Polly some exersise. It was so bad that we had to take our trousers off! It even rained inside I&B's buggy!







When we got home we put some more clothes on and I watched Decade of great goals.

They've arrived.

It's cold. Julie came for coffee and Amy played I and B whilst I played football on the PS2.
Lorraine, Jeremy and Blythe arrived with Polly. We have got a dog in the house. We made some great tents in the bedroom but they had to be taken down because L doesn't like them when she goes to bed.

A boring morning in the minibus

Still no lie in! Mummy had to take the minibus to the garage to have a new tyre put on. Then we had to go and pick up a bit for Daddy's strimmer.... and after dropping it off to him we HAD to go shopping. BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We all cycled up to the pool this afternoon and I,B and L had lots of fun splashing in the paddling pool. It was a bit chilly but OK, Daddy came by to say hello. Mummy didn't get to read her HP!
It got sunny when we came home so played in the garden until bedtime.
