Barney

Barney is sometimes portrayed as being somewhat subordinate to his Machiavellian brother due to being a "sangwich" short of a picnic in the smarts department and being rather timid

But Lucy loves both of her furry brothers equally.

A Day in Richmond Park with Mummy

Mummy and Lucy are spending a day together in Richmond Park.

Lucy is rushing because she wants to get to the "prayground" near Petersham Gate.

She starts of having a nice pig ride

... before taking a more conventional horse ride.

Girls together.

Time for a swing

Slip slip sliding away

Lucy is certainly top dog

I can see some deer from up here!

Walking back up the hill to Pembroke Lodge where the car is parked, Lucy has a quick pit stop on a bench.

However, it is rather apparent that Lucy is really tired.

Even though she is tired, Mummy tricks Lucy into climbing the hill by playing real life Whac-a-Mole on the mole hills which go up the slope to the Lodge.

And of course there is always time to climb a tree.

Many dazed moles are waving clenched paws at Lucy just out of shot.

Finally at the top. What a great Mummy day.

Lucy Linnaeus

Modern biological classification has its root in the work of Carolus Linnaeus, who grouped species according to shared physical characteristics.

While Lucy was playing in her bedroom she arranged all her animal models into three groups. Farm animals, Wild animals and Arctic animals. Apart from the farm Gorilla she has got it pretty much perfect. She was very pleased with herself but not half as pleased as Mummy was when Lucy explained what she had done.

Science Experiment with Toast + Banana Bonus!

Today Lucy and Daddy are conducting a toast based experiment. Obviously her science lab coat is required.

She has a special stamp that must be pressed into the bread.

This is a very serious experiment.

Must make sure that the pressure is even to get an accurate result.

Yup - the preparation seems to have gone well.

Now to place the bread into the processing equipment.

Start the equipment.

There is a lot of waiting in science.

The equipment indicates that the processing is complete.

What a result. Perfectly embossed Tom and Jerry toast.

Lucy is most impressed with the result of her experiment.

However, most great science is an amalgam of multiple disciplines so Lucy decides to push it up a level. Enter the banana.

Lucy chops the banana up.

Then mushes it into a fine paste.

She carefully applies it to the Tom toast.

Then the Pièce de résistance - the tasting

Altogether a successful morning of science. And yummy banana on cat toast.

Lucy shopping with Daddy

Mummy is away so Daddy takes Lucy shopping with Him to big Sainsbury's.

We are mainly buying salad and vegetables. Certainly not Yorkshire Puddings, mousse and fish fingers.

And Lucy's treat is NOT a Lindt chocolate rabbit. It is a golden carrot stick.

Afterwards they retire to the local Tofu Restaurant for a healthy snack.

Feel the goodness.

Pyjamas

Sometime when Daddy gets Lucy up he doesn't insist that she gets dressed straight away

She loves slobbing around in her pyjamas

Nasa

You wait all your life for a Nasa T-Shirt and then 2 turn up on the same day! Luckily Lucy is happy to wear the spare.

Underwater Lucy

At Lucy's swimming club they have invited Bubbles Photography to take some photo's of the spogs underwater. We are very impressed with the results. Enjoy!
