smells lovely

The boys have been baking again - chocolate brownies. A recipe I stole from one of the ladies who made some for our village hall tea party. I just hope these turn out as well. They are smelling delicious....

3 weeks

Here's Boots at 3 weeks - check out those blue eyes.

Toby is on toilet training now with some success. More success than not so hopefully we will sort it this time. No more nappies in this house no matter what. Just as we get sorted we'll have a puppy to toilet train.....

Puppy

Here's the first photo of our puppy - he's going to be called "Boots" - although the boys want to call him "toilet water"...mmmmmmmmmmmmm....

New addition to the family....

We were all out for a walk on Butser Hill this morning and bumped into a couple with the most gorgeous dog. Got chatting and the dog is a Cockapoo. Anyway we got the details of the breeder as he was so good with the boys and such a lovely dog we thought we'd found the perfect breed. We've been trying to decide what to get for a family pet for a while. Anyway - we went to see the breeder and have put a deposit on a beautiful 2 week old pup.

Spuds!

The boys are very pleased with themselves for growing their first lot of potatoes - and so they should be!



I have now agreed to Chair the Denmead Children's Centre Partnership Board - should keep me busy. Already hard to keep up with the village hall bookings & committee as well as the toddler group & friends of the school. I might have to leave the OU course till Feb time. The Festival of Speed was brilliant. We got there nice and early and had seen the lot by 11:30 when it started to get really busy. There's a sickness bug going around at the moment and we've all had it - lovely. I need to get a dress....off to a cocktail party on HMS Dauntless in 2 weeks - oh what to wear?
