Plumptom Races for Brian's Memorial

We're at Plumpton Races with Al and Lynne to celebrate her brother Brian's memorial race.

Mummy and Lucy lose interest in the events on the track and hunt down the fairground.

Lucy waves regally from the front seat of her centipilla.

Time for a little dab of makeup.

This time Lucy opts for the Tiger look.

Then the Tiger devours a huge sausage.

Al and Lynne help judge the best groomed horse for Brian's race.

Daddy and the Tiger watch the excitement.

Seeing 10 horses rush by at full pelt is quite a sight for a little Tiger.

The little Tiger miraculously transforms into a cheeky monkey.

A Grand Day Out in Ripley

Lynne and Al arranged for a bunch of buddies to meet up for a pre Christmas lunch at The Talbot in Ripley. Daddy cannot praise the place (and specifically it's Sunday Lunch) enough but even though she was sitting at the head of the table, Lucy initially seemed a bit cool on the place.

Lightning Tom, Al and Lynne start off with a pint.

Mummy and Laura are both driving but we are taunting them with fine red wine.

Lucy is starting to warm to the place.

Especially when she gets a nice Huggle from Mummy.

Later on we adjourn to Frog Cottage, Al and Lynne's house.

Al lets Lucy have a go on one of his smaller guitars. I think it is pretty clear that she is going to be an awesome guitarist given the way she is fretting that F with her thumb. Just need to wait about 12 years until her fingers are long enough to finish the barre chord.

But in preparation Al serenades Lucy and at the same time gives her a first guitar lesson.
