Uncle Matt reads a story

Lucy's curiosity is peaked by the book that Uncle Matt is showing her. It is "In the Night Garden".

To start off with, Matt tries to read the book to Lucy.

After a while, Lucy has to take over and explains the book to Matt.

Later on still and Lucy has pretty much lost interest whilst Matt is absolutely transfixed.

Watering Can

Lucy decides that she wants to water the plans in Grandma and Grandad's garden.

It soon becomes pretty apparent that the watering can is a little on the large side for Lucy's diminutive proportions.

But Grandma is very smart and figures out that a milk bottle will be the perfect size.

Of you go then Lucy, water the flower!

Yay! She is quite the Alan Titchmarsh. With the emphasis on Titch.

Aunty Pink's Cot

Grandma though that it might be entertaining for Lucy if she showed her the little cot that Aunty Pink used to put her dolls in when she was a kid. Lucy rather misunderstood and thought it was her new bed.

It's hard to blame her, that lamby blanket is still as snuggley as it was 33 years ago.

Burton Agnes Hall

Who is this in the distance? Why it looks like Aunty Sue, Grandma, Lucy and Mummy.

Of course when they get closer we can also see that Grandma is holding Wibbly pig.

Grand Master Spork

Wow! That is a big chess set. Mummy sets Lucy up as a replacement Queen.

Ignoring convention, Lucy speculates on an early knight attack.

Feeling rather more aggressively she starts a pawn attack down the Kings side.

Down a bishop and a rook. Things aren't looking too good.

Lucy wisely decides to make a hasty exit defended by her rook and knight.

Culture at Burton Agnes

Lucy admires some fine statuary at Burton Agnes with Mummy and Aunty Sue

On reins at Burton Agnes

Mummy and Lucy go for a walk round the grounds of Burton Agnes

Obviously if you are going to enjoy an exquisite Elizabethan house filled with treasures including art, furniture and porcelain you need to take Igglepiggle.

And maybe a ball for a bit of a kick about

Then maybe a look at the carp in the lake.

Dinner with Pigs

Sometimes is is nice to dine with a coupe of friends.

Who's in the Hat?

Who's this funny character under the over sized hat?

No, still don't know who it is.

There she is! It's Lucy.

With Grandad in the Garden

Grandad takes Lucy for a stroll round the garden.

Where are we going Grandad?

Of course! To the bottom of the garden to see the statue of the pan.

Lucy loves that statue.

Piano

As is now traditional when Lucy visits Grandma and Grandad's, she makes her way to the piano for a quick recital.

So, what would you like me to play?

Mouse on the keyboard? Here we go.

Lucy and Uncle Simon

Lucy and Uncle Simon wave to everybody

Lucy points out where his tomatoes used to be until she scoffed them

Uncle Simon is very forgiving. Big hug Uncle Si.

Simon's Tomatoes

Simon has been growing some tomatoes in his back garden. He was waiting for them all to ripen before picking them. But he didn't recon on Lucy's voracious tomato habit. She pretty much scoffed the lot.

In the end Milly helped her get the few that were left.

Lincolnshire BBQ

Lovely, a nice BBQ at Uncle Simon's. Lucy is about to tuck into a sausage but it is a bit hot so she has to blow on it to cool it down.

Ah, that's better.

Milly goes for a fine chicken skewer

Uncle Simon checks out the Savignion Blanc before risking the food.

I'm not a number, I'm a free Sponk

Is it just me or does this look like a shot from the famous sixties show The Prisoner?

Baby you can drive my car

Lucy has a go in a funny little red car. A bit like Mummy's.

Hedgehog

Lucy has a go on a huge Hedgehog

Swingers

Mummy and Lucy have a go on the big swing

Lucy's having a great time.

Then Lucy has a go on the little swing while Milly has a go on the big fella

What a Croc

Lucy tries on one of Milly's Crocs. Could it be on the wrong foot?

"Oi! I'll put it on whatever foot I like!"
