Back online...






















We have had a few technical problems, so haven't posted for a week or so. While we were off-line Kitty has been getting up to all sorts........

She had a trip to London to see cousin Olive and help us pick up the lovely old wood burner we bought on ebay.






















Kitty with dad at the services on the way down.

I love the wood burner and hopefully it will warm up the front room this winter. Should be good for drying nappies too.

















It has a pretty flower pattern on the enamel which is repeated on the hot plate.



































We also had a trip to Clitheroe to check out the shops and the textile exhibition at the Platform Gallery. Kitty got a new picture book from a charity shop and I got some nice chocolate from the new chocolatier - Coco Moyo .






















Kitty was very interested in all the nice shops. Me too!
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Textiles open exhibition was pretty good, though we didn't stay long as Kitty got a bit hungry. I really liked these 'hanging pockets' by Ellie Evans. I might have a go at making one - to keep hankies, hair grips, bubble-gum and whatnot.


















Both sets of grandparents came to visit over the weekend. Mama and Grandad Simpson on Saturday - bringing with them a massive new kennel for the dogs.





















Grandma and Grandad Pih and Darren, Nicky and Ben on Sunday - bringing with them still more presents for Kitty, from their recent holiday and from other friends and family.






















Ben gave Kitty a cute rattle, which she really likes.

















Since Kitty can't go to the pool yet, we have started swimming in the bath. This is currently her favourite activity. She likes the water nice and deep so she can float. I think by the time she actually gets to the pool she'll be swimming already!


















Today it's pouring with rain, so we stayed in and played. We have been following some of the activities in the Dr Miriam Stoppard book, Baby's first skills. It's got some good ideas of games for us to play and Kitty is getting to know some of the activities now and gets excited when she recognises her favourites.
