Mini Break

After our short Mini break up north we are now back in sunny Buckinghamshire. We had a great visit with TJ and his family, even taking a day trip out to show Lily some of the English countryside - which she loves! Feeding the ducks and geese, seeing the sheeps and cows in the field, watching the large trout swim in the river and running around the fields! Lily adored the hills and rocks of the Peak District, and wished she had brought her wellies with us. Grandad had been wanting a tart so there was no where else to go but Bakewell :)

Stoke on Trent where TJ lives is an old industrial area of England most famous for the Potteries, like Wedgewood and Royal Doulton. If you go twenty minutes outside of this area you are in the most glorious countryside England has, with stone walls, romantic cottages and rolling farm land! It was great to share this side of England with Lily.

Our photos have been added to the end of the slide show to the right, so sorry if you have to look at all of the pictures to get to the new ones! I think if you click in the bottom corner of it it brings up all of the photos!

Now its the countdown to Alecia and Marks wedding next weekend. Only 6 days to go! My dress is being altered as we speak......shortened would be more accurate. And we are shoe shopping for Lily tomorrow!

Lily Quotes

We were out for the day when Lily needed to go to the toilet. We found the nearest restroom, went inside and Lily became hysterical! She was crying and screaming and not making any sense at all. Finally as we were washing our hands I understood what she had been trying to tell us. She had been crying that "I have two legs..... I HAVE TWO LEGS MOMMY!"

She was upset as we had taken her into the toilets for the women with one leg!!
