The Bloom Of Autumn

Picking these Damsons up the farm at the weekend reminded me that the bloom on them against the colour of the fruit is probably my favourite autumn colour...lovely.

Fun at the swings

This is James's new favourite thing - playing on the swings. He gets very indignant when it's time to go back in the pushchair.

Sleeping like a baby

I don't know how he does this, but Mab is often able to help James into a peaceful slumber by just holding him on his lap. He always fidgets for me.

Keeping safe and warm

Thanks to ebay we now have a fire guard to keep James's fascination with the stove at a safe distance

Out with the old, in with the new

Just as I was having two wisdom teeth removed, James has produced two teeth of his own. They are not visible from the photo as they have only just pierced the skin.



Not half as impressive as these whoppers.










It's pureed food all round then - here is hamster-face making soup for lunch.
