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.

Fascinated by a stuffed dead badger in a gallery.

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.

May

I didn't take many photos in May. Strange, but I guess I was a little preoccupied with being ill.

Together with a neighbour we rented the big field next to our house with a view to moving the goats in for the summer. Unfortunately the goats weren't as keen and kept jumping over the wall and running off to the near-by pub. We now have a very expensive private kite flying field.

We had a special tea party to celebrate and eat the cress Kitty grew at nursery. Eggy-cress sandwiches, cheese and biscuits, salad.

April Update

I have been neglecting this blog for a while. A number of reasons, but for now I will try and update with a quick run down of events over the last few months.

April - freak weather conditions provided some extra winter fun and a few days off work.

We celebrated Easter in style with Mama and Grandad and a homemade rabbit cake with extra lumpy lemon icing!  Fab rabbit cake mould courtesy of Auntie Alison - thank you!

Daddy was away a lot, working hard in France.

A trip with Mama and Grandad to Skipton museum to look at the pottery exhibition.

I wish I had a kiln.

Kitty had fun trying on some period costumes in the museum.





Making the most of the time daddy was at home - Tapas in Darwen.
