Potty about Potter

No not Harry Potter but Beatrix Potter. We headed off to the lakes district last weekend and it was just lovely. So beautiful, just as you would image in the books and of course more recently in the movie Miss Potter which isn't bad either. We of course got a couple of books by the lovely lady, I still say they are for the boy but who and I kidding. We stayed in Winderemere (can't remember how isn't spelt) lovely quiet place but the closer you get to the water, struth its busy. We would hate to visit it in summer. its around four and half hour drive and the foozle did ok for the first three and half but melted from boredom.

anyway enough of my crazy ramblings, just check out the cool pics.

the pics in the garden are beatrix potter's garden, very cool. you can just see peter rabbit hanging out.

Daft but funny. At least to us.

Seix: part two

Well here we are again, i will try to get the pics up this time.








Some of the views from surrounding valleys


We also visited St Giron. A lovely town with one of the best cafes. It had a chocolate fountain and the hot chocolate comes as a jug of liquid chocolate that you then add to cups of hot frothy milk and that is without even the desserts they have. Wow what pastries, the french of definitely got pasties and breads all over the rest of us.

Trip to Seix: part one

What a wonderful place. So pretty and of course super great to see some fam' again. We visited this twee village in the Pyrenees where my sister Jane, hubby Ludo and kids are shacking up for a year for the real french experience.

pics of the village


Pics with the cute fam, there is Mahalia, Emile, Agnes and Felix all with their folks


The twee village after a few days of rain

this will continue soon alas i am having a bit of difficultly uploading the pics

Oh no!

Alas, the day we had feared has come to pass.

Timbo has been mobilish for the last month or so. He hasn't been crawling, but he's been able to shuffle here and there through a combination of sitting up and sitting down a little further away, rolling about etc.

Last Thursday, he decided he was sick of that, and started crawling for real. He is now crawling around everywhere getting into trouble. So happy he is in his new skill that he gets very stroppy when fenced in or otherwise repressed. Sadly now it is pretty much impossible to leave him alone even for a split second.

While we are both proud of the boy, life just got a wee bit harder!

Here are a couple of videos from last week.



Next week we're heading off to see the Theau's in France, so we'll have something to write about besides baby stuff :-)
