Scary Bear

Uncle Stewby is taking a photo of Lucy being a scary bear to send to her friend Jake.

Grrrrrrr.

Uncle Stewby's new Shed

Lucy is checking out Uncle Stewby's new shed

Lucy approves.

Baby Dylan

Lucy is playing with Holly's little brother Dylan

I say little, he is quite big for his age

Not quite big enough for a ride on a real shetland pony so this will do nicely.

Holly's Birthday Party

After the excitement of a shetland pony ride, the kids settle down for a party tea.

Lucy has obviously missed a couple of her dainty eating classes. Perhaps she has been taking some eating cues from Toby.

Lucy offers Daddy a bite of her pizza.

What a brilliant birthday cake!

Holly blows out the candles

If Lucy thinks she is getting a pony for her birthday she would do well to set her sights a bit lower

Small Horse or Large Lucy?

Lucy has come to the Shetland Pony Club in Surrey for Holly's 5th Birthday Party. Lucy is introduced to Toffee.

To get the kids used to the ponies when they arrive they are given the chance to groom them. This is Honeybee

Lucy is loving the little fella.

As more kids arrive, Lucy takes charge. Honeybee is going to be better groomed than cousin Jonny going for a job interview.

Lucy is introduced to her pony for the day, Toby.

Toby checks Lucy out.

Toby grabs a quick snack before their long trek.

Lucy rides Toby like a professional

Mummy takes over leading Toby and Lucy on their trek. Toby requires a little bit on encouragement.

Toby relaxes a bit and they have a lovely stroll around the Surrey Meadows.

Toby stops for another quick snack.

Birthday girl Holly is also having an excellent time

Small horses, big fun

Subtle Makeup

Possibly a bit more practice required before Lucy starts her beautician business

Chips

Lucy loves an occasional visit to Tanya's Fish Bar on her way home from Rashadee's house. She is clearly not attracted by their modern and sophisticated web site. Rather it is their enticing "Bag of chips with ketchup" which keeps her coming back.

Cousin Jonathan

Cousin Jonathan is very interested in Lucy's condiment selection at Ask Pizza.

Jonathan uses his Jedi mind tricks to try and persuade Lucy to share her condiments

The Jedi mind tricks fail so Jonathan takes a more confrontational approach. Lucy's response is pretty clear.

Aunty Pink can read

Looking like story time. Aunty Pink is in the driving seat tonight.

Zog is quite an intense story about a little dragons education. Lucy is all ears...

Fank you Aunty Pink, I learned loads about dragons and I really love you...

Now, about this Catnapping Cat ...

Ersatz Spagetti

Lucy loves slurppy spaghetti. Spag bol is one of her favorite meals. She has also watched "Lady and the Tramp" many times so knows how romantic it can be.

Daddy made the stupid mistake of thinking Heinz Spaghetti in a can can possibly compete with the real thing. Lucy was under no illusions. Yuck.

Michelangelo

Rashadee took Lucy and Milly to the National Portrait Gallery. These places sometimes have a sniffy air and appear elitist, but actually they have great activities for kids. On the day Lucy and Milly went they had a sculpture workshop specifically for little dudes. This is a photo of the sculpture Lucy created. Whilst it isn't the most accurate likeness of Lucy I have ever seen I think it is astonishing that they showed her how to create something so good (and I have seen the photos Rashadee took on her phone - this was all Lucy's own work). It's just a shame that the left hand eyeball keeps falling out. Must remember to glue it in again.

Down South

I think any competent bus spotter would be able to identify that Lucy was down by the South Coast. She was on a trip with Mummy to see Grandad Ray and Great Nanny.

Lucy: "Grandad, Knock Knock" Grandad: "Who's there?" Lucy: "Doctor" Grandad: "Doctor Who?" ....

Lucy: "That's Daddy's favorite TV program"

That really is Lucy's favorite joke. Look - she's still laughing (admittedly Nanny and Grandad aren't).

Train

Lucy is on the Whitton Express train on the way to see Pink and Stewby. She has brought her own first class seating using the booster seat that we will use for the taxi home.

She delivers a royal wave to the citizens of Richmond who may have lined the track to celebrate her passage.

In The Night Garden Live

Rashadee took her daughter Milly and the Donk to see In The Night Garden Live. To an adult it must seem like when the Grateful Dead used to give away LSD at their concerts. However, kids seems to take the baffling chaos in their stride. The three of them posed for a photo with Upsy Daisy on their way out of the madness.
