A wardrobe can be a train carriage

If you have a bit of imagination, a wardrobe, in the process of being painted, can be an excellent train carriage.

Thankfully, the paint had dried before this game commmenced!

Hold my hand, Leia!

Leia was just starting to walk when we saw them, and everyone was keen to help her, to hold her hand. Rose was no different!

Hugs all around

Lots of love, here.

Hey, look! It is one of US!

Astonishing - a photo of us both! I take on average about 10,000 photos a year (no kidding) and these type of shots are rare indeed!

Boo!

Daniel leapt up from his hiding place... and note Leia's delight!

Such fun!

Leia was dancing around this fountain, with help from her Daddy. Such fun!
We all met up for a day in a National Trust garden, central to us all - though still hours away from each. There are days when you wish that someone had managed to invent a star trek transporter.

After blackberrys...

In August we went blackberrying, afterwhich Ana found a nice patch of long grass in which to hide.

First Steam Train Ride

We had a day out at the Leighton Buzzard steam railway. Ana loved it, but Rose was not so sure about the loud noises associated with ye-olde methods of transport. It is quite an interesting little rail line. It runs most of the way through what was once beautiful countryside, and is now a 1980's housing development! I wonder how the residents find the whistling at every road crossing!

Rose in the Orangery

In the Orangery at Castle Ashby, there is the (very deep) fishpond. Rose and Ana both love watching the fish, whilst us parents anxiously stand close behind them (or take photos...)

Cuddles with Papa

Sometimes, after a fair amount of running, a carry and cuddle is required.

Ana among the daisies

Way back in the summer... we had an afternoon at the gardens of Castle Ashby. Here is Ana by the orangery. She was pleased to see so many of 'her' flowers.
