Lucy fancies a hug. Who will give her a big cuddle? It's a Piiiiink! It's been a great BBQ at Pink and Stewbies. Lucy and Pink compare nose size. Pink wins.
I wonder if I can remember Grandad's phone number? Press Press Press. Hello Grandad. How are you? I was just wondering if you could do me a favour? Can you send someone to get me down!?
Mummy is carrying Lucy in Richmond Park. At a little over 3 stone she is quite heavy. In order to prevent hurting her back Mummy changes to the piggy back position. From this angle it all appears very lady like. Less so from this angle. Still - Mummy needs somewhere to park her bike Giddy Up Mummy!
Unsurprisingly, there is a Deer in Richmond Deer Park. At first Lucy appears quite unconcerned about a "Wain Deer" encroaching on her space. But just to check he knows who is boss, Lucy stick her tongue out at it. The "Wain Deer" appears unconcerned.
Mummy and Lucy are walking around the beautiful Pen Ponds in Richmond Park. Lucy is wearing her special Pirate welly boots. Lucy gets Mummy to carry her expanding stick collection They watch the wildlife on the pond Goose has spotted a Goose!
Mummy and Lucy are having an adventure in Richmond Park Mummy leads them into the bracken The path is getting a bit smaller Hang on Mummy - where is the path! Lucy takes charge. Come on Mummy - I'll find the path. Don't worry Mummy. I watched that Ray Mears. I'll get us out. I done it Mummy! I rescued us.
Mummy and Lucy are playing by Barnes Pond. Throwing bread to the ducks and swans. Lucy has had enough of Charity. She wants a drink. Lucy cracks on with her Orange juice. As soon as Lucy's back is turned Mummy cracks on with her "juice".
Mummy accidentally took us to a windy beach for our holiday. It was very windy. Lucy makes the most of it walking around Robinson Crusoe style. But this is not a nice sunny day for a beech trip. It's all a bit windswept
Mummy is drawing pictures with Lucy's new Felt Tip pens. Lucy seems distracted. What is this new game that Aunty Lorna has invented? Drag Sponk! It is not the most sophisticated of games but Lucy loves it.
There is a big fort at Belton House. It is really for older children so Grandad escorts Lucy around to make sure she is safe. It's exciting. After a while Lucy takes the lead. "Come on Gwandad!"
Another trip on the train. Grandma and Lucy wave to their adoring public. Grandma asks Lucy if she would like to hear a short anecdote. "No Grandma! No!" "...blah blah blah...fish and chips in Robin's Hood bay ... blah blah blah... oooh and it was lovely...blah blah blah...bus pass...blah blah blah..." When will it end! P.S. only joking
Lucy is on the climbing frame. Grandad makes sure everything is safe. Wow! That is pretty high! Daddy stands next to Grandad in order to look slimmer. Grandad, on the other hand loves to stand next to Daddy in order to show off his luxuriant mane and lack of a receding hairline. One all.
Grandad is giving Lucy a push on the swing. Lucy is quite amused. Mummy gets in on the act. What a push from Mummy! Luckily Grandad is there to stop Lucy just before she achieves escape velocity.
Hang on - surely Mr Newton would have some quibbles with this image. Lucy is certainly quite chunky for a two and a half but has she really reached equilibrium with Grandad? Phew! Natural order is restored.
Part of the reason that Grandma and Grandad chose Belton House to meet up was because it had loads of fun stuff for Lucy to do. This included a miniature railway. Grandma is going to have a trip with Lucy and Mummy. Lucy spots that Grandma is there As soon as Grandma turns her back Lucy sticks her tongue out. Cheeky monkey. Everyone is having a lovely ride.
Still at Hunstanton and Lucy has found the Otter enclosure. Apparently the collective noun for Otters is a "Romp". It seems very appropriate for the cheeky scamps. Lucy loves looking at them romping about. This cheeky chap is having his tea
We are at the Hunstanton Seal Life Center. Lucy loves the penguin rubbish bin. But look - there are real penguins here! But Lucy just wants the penguin bin.
