A whole year has passed

Thanks to all who sent kind wishes/gifts for KP's birthday. As is usual when you host parties, we realised we didn't really take many pictures. We all had a lovely time on Saturday, it was great to get everyone together.


KP is delighted with her new doll, and all other dolls are thrown angrily to the floor if they dare to attempt to get a cuddle. T has spent the weekend taking care of Jessie's doll, which was left behind here, and Jessie left very careful instructions over the telephone that T had to take care of it.

We picked up a mega bargain at the market yesterday - I'm sure Ben will dine off the tale for while yet. He did try to tell me that mega bargains in large boxes from markets often have missing bits. Anyway, we haggled hard, bought it, got it out of the car at home, and a large yellow sticker fell off which said 'Argos returns, missing parts'. It is a 'Mamas and Papas childs pram set and luckily there were four wheels and indeed all the parts, the only thing missing was the dreadful changing station which we are actually relieved about. So it was actually a mega bargain in the end. Apparently if I say that one more time I will be in big trouble. The whole episode brought back memories of kites from China...

Today we spent KP's birthday with grandma and grandad at the gym, then the restaurant at the Garden Centre, and then riding bikes to the park. Oh yes, and still eating huge amounts of left-over cake...
