In fact Lucy loves all of it.

Nom Nom Nom.

Longleat 2011

Aunty Lorna

Aunty Lorna gets a bit funny about having her picture posted on the Internet. I hope she won't mind this one.

Pwayground with Lorna

Lorna* is giving Lucy a solid push on the swing. Wheeeee.

Lucy loves her new winter coat. "I'm a little bear"

The little bear leads Lorna*, Mummy and Stewby on a rocking horse ride.

High five Mummy!

*All pictures of LC approved by Mummy. Don't shoot the messenger.

Climbing on Mt Pink

Lucy and Pink are playing.

Lorna and Pink give Lucy a good tickling. "Anothergain tickle" says Lucy, cackling like a drain. Lorna and Pink know how to amuse Lucy.

Then it's back to jumping on Pink. "Anothergain Pink"

Windswept Lucy

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

Drag Sponk

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.

Wells-Next-The-Sea

Mummy, Daddy, Lucy and Aunty Lorna walk down past the picturesque Wells Harbour to the beach.

Lucy can't wait to start building with her new bucket and spade.

It is astonishing how few people are on the beach on such a lovely day. Wells is obviously a well kept secret.

Lucy fills up her bucket ready to turn out another sand castle.

Daddy can't resist getting in on the action.

Evening in Norfolk

The holiday cottage we stayed at in Norfolk had a beautiful riverside garden.

After putting Lucy to bed Mummy and Lorna enjoy a glass of wine by the river.

Not such a bad view.

And a pretty spectacular sunset.

I'll get my Goat

Aunty Lorna shows Lucy how to feed a goat.

Lucy checks out Lorna's holdiay snaps

Aunty Lorna is showing her holiday snaps to Mummy and Lucy.

Kinky Boots

Aunty Lorna was round wearing her high heeled boots. Lucy loves trying on other peoples shoes so she gave Lorna's a go.

Even with Lucy's great big flippers it is pretty clear that the boots are a bit on the large side. She still manages to have a dance with Mummy though.

Bouncy Castle!

Lucy is confused as to why Mummy would have put her swim suit on when she is in the back garden.

The answer is that Aunty Lorna bought Lucy this fantastic inflatable swimming pool for her birthday. At first sprocket is a little unsure.

But she soon realizes how cool it is.

But it isn't just an inflatable swimming pool ...

The swimming pool is actually the Moat of a bouncy castle

Lucy loves playing on the slide which links the moat and the castle.

Until we caught her trying to let the air out having found the inflation nozzle.

Fortunately we stopped all that deflation monkey business and she got back to sliding

Chock Sprock

Little Lucy had her first ever experience of Chocolate today. Aunty Lorna came round laden with a big Green & Blacks Easter egg for Mummy and Mummy had got Lorna some Green & Blacks chocky bars. With Aunty Lorna and Mummy in possession of fine chocolate there was never any question of waiting until Easter Day - it was always going to be a chocolate frenzy. Just coming up to her first birthday it seemed the right time to see if Lucy wanted to join their chocoholic coven. Mummy handed her a chunk of Green & Blacks Organic Maya Gold. At first she seemed like she might not like it.

But any doubts were soon banished as she happily chomped away, just sparing the minimum amount to smear around her face.

There is no doubt that the Sprock has inherited her Mum's chocolate appreciation gene.

Holy Cow!

Lucy, Mummy and Aunty Lorna went up north to visit her cousin Jonathan. In the North they have fields with cows in.

Jonathan attempts to Moo like a cow while Lucy waves at them as if she is the Queen.

Polesden Lacey

Mummy and Aunty Lorna decided to take Lucy to the National Trust pile Polesden Lacey over by Dorking. Judging by her expression she wasn't overly impressed. Daddy used to wear this expression a lot when he was being dragged round stately homes as a child as well.

However, there is no doubting that they know how to throw a few flowers at a wall to make it look pretty. And it was a lovely sunny day.

Barnes Fair

Lucy had what we hope will be the first of many trips to Barnes Fair. It will probably be a couple of years before she has a go on the carousel.

Much to her amusement, Ali managed to trick Aunty Lorna into pushing the pram.

Aunty Pink decided to try and teach Lucy how to buy expensive jewellery.

But Daddy had trained her to resist such evil mind control and to respond by throwing up on her arm. No wonder Pink looks a little peeved!
