Halloween disco

Kitty's first school disco. Dressed as a cat of course.

RIP Bo 2004 - 2012

At the beginning of October, we lost our lovely Bosie. He had been losing weight for a while and the condition of his coat was pretty poor so I had been giving him supplements to try and get him back into shape. He was eating well and running around as normal, so I didn't worry too much but one night  when I went down to shut them in he didn't get up. Normally they both get up as soon as they hear me coming. I gave him some tea (usually a good pick-me-up for a sick goat) and called the vet out, but by the time he got here Bo was gone. The vet thought he might have had some kind of internal abscess. This along with his age wasn't a good combination. He went quickly and I'm glad I was there to sit with him. I miss him a lot. So does Rei. I'm going to start looking for a new home for Rei where he will have some company.

Bosie and Oscar 2004 as babes. We miss you both. xx

Last and first

Kitty's last day of nursery was full of fun, but we will truly miss that place and everyone in it. She has made some wonderful friends there and they have given her a cracking head start. The staff have played a massive part in her life so far and we are very grateful that she was able to go to such a nice place.

Kit lovingly made a bracelet for her best friend Riley (who is going to a different school) and together we made some fruit friends for everyone else as a leaving gift. She gave her nursery teachers lovely little thank you gifts too - scented candles, scrummy body scrub and yummy chocolates.

The very next day was first day at school. A really lovely little rural school just a mile or so over the tops. They don't have a uniform and seem to have a really friendly and relaxed approach which we like. I'm sure Kitty will thrive here. I love the metal tree sculpture on the front of the building (just visible in the picture) and the fact this seems to be one of the only schools in the County that doesn't have an 8ft high mesh prison fence around it has to be a bonus.

Caravan Club

This year, we decided to take Kitty to the seaside for a few days for her birthday. She liked the idea of a caravan, so we went to a holiday park in Filey on the Yorkshire coast. Not really our kind of thing, but she really enjoyed it.

Southfield loop

Our little babe is now a big girl. Four years old. We took a walk around the Southfield loop in the sun.

In Liverpool

A day out to Liverpool. We did bit of shopping and grabbed a pizza before meeting up with Uncle Darren and Ben to explore the sights.

 

Butterflies, fish and star fish at the Museum.

Daddy's girl

In June, Mummy was still feeling poorly, so Kit spend some quality time with Daddy.

A special trip to London for cousin Olive's 4th birthday.

A trip with Daddy to Manchester Museum to check out the dinosaur.

LOTS of Adventure Time. Kitty and Daddy's latest obsession.
