Fun Up North

We've trundled up north to play with cousins Dan The Man & Bethan Boo and have a little play in the snowy mountains. The initiation test was to baby sit all four kids and work out the controls of the tv remote.

On one of our visits we saw the real Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car in Keswick but only after recovering the car keys which Uncle Jon dropped down the drain much to the amusement of the kids. There's been lots of playing and even Uncle Jon and myself managed a quick birthday yomp up Red Screes when all the kids were safely asleep.

The kids sniggering after uncle Jon drop his keys down the drain.

In the snowy dark we found the summit, had a hot drink and then descended for a beer and some winter Olympics.

Armed with a newspaper cutlass and a cardboard parrot on his shoulder, James headed for Ben's party, full of excitement and "ha haaarrr"s. Happy birthday Ben, we had a great time!

Happy Birthday Jennifer

My beautiful little girl has reached the grand age of two. I can hardly believe how quickly she is growing up. She can tantrum for England, but she has a smile that can melt you in an instant. What a girl. :)
