I'm gonna catch you

Such balance and poise

Strike the pose kids!

Nannamoo-a-nory

What a treat. Nana Moo is reading Lucy her in chair books after helping with her bath.

Looks like they are taking this story quite seriously.

But they laugh like drains when they start reading about Lettice the flying rabbit.

It takes quite a lot of effort

Great Grandad Don, Uncle David and Nana Moo

Uncle David is over from Australia so we hook up with Great Grandad Don and Nana Moo and go to the pub.

Grandad Don is teaching Lucy chess.

King's prawn to bishops' horse nine.

"Well - I didn't expect a fianchetto!"

Lucy and Great Grandad

Lucy enjoys spending time with Great Grandad Don and Nana Moo.

"I'm off "says Lucy as she hunts down Jim to play more football.

Gardening with Nana Moo

Lucy is helping Nana Moo do some gardening at her home.

The gardening needs watering so Nana shows Lucy where the rain filled water butts are that they use to fill the watering cans.

"Worry not Nana Moo", says Lucy, "I've got it" she says attempting to lift a watering can about twice her own weight.

Plants are getting a bit tedious to Lucy. I wonder if there is anything more interesting we can grow?

A Lucy Tree! Where is that watering can?

Nana Moo reads for Lucy

Nana Moo is generously reading Lucy a story. A rather ungrateful Lucy appears to be checking her spelling and grammar using a dictionary which she has mysteriously acquired.

Are you sure you mean take rather than bring Nana?

Lucy's First Train

Nana Moo played a blinder for Lucy's Christmas present. Being an adoring grand parent she spoilt Lucy with loads of stuff including some books and this adorable black dress with red shirt. But where she really excelled herself was with Lucy's first train set!

As you can see, Lucy is entranced as her little train goes round.

Whilst it isn't exactly Hornby it is all there. A steam train with coal tender and a passenger coach, a station and a level crossing. That's the basics covered. What could possibly go wrong?

Boot!

Eat your peas Nana Moo

Many years ago Nana Moo created Mummy's bizarre and perverse aversion to Gravy by force feeding her rancid pea and lamb casserole. Would Nana Moo spot the link when she opened her Christmas present from Mummy?

She did spot the link, partly because Mummy was giggling like a naughty schoolgirl about her own cleverness. Nana Moo rose above such things and reads "Eat Your Peas" to Lucy.

Beach

Lucy visits the sea side for the first time with Mummy and Nana Moo.

Luckily it is lovely weather.

Nana Moo helps Lucy select some fine stones from the Beech.

They share a nice moment looking out to sea.

Sunny BBQ

Uncle David was over from Australia so Ken and Chris arranged a BBQ. David always seems to bring the weather with him - it was a scorcher. Great Grandad Don and Nana Moo admire Lucy's fine new Sun hat.

Nana Moo had bought Lucy a present. Lucy is getting much better at ripping open wrapping paper.

Mummy and Nana Moo take Lucy for a stroll round the garden.

Mummy enjoys a glass of beer in the shade.

And then Lucy has a bottle of the good stuff.

Little Green Dress

Nana Moo got Lucy this lovely green dress for her birthday. Mummy thinks it is very sweet.

Aww. That is a very cute little girl.

Still a cheeky little monkey though. Note that her dress nicely coordinates with Barbar the Elephant which Aunty Piiink bought her.

Parklife

It was quite a nice day today so it was time for a trip to the park. First up Mummy helps Lucy play on the rocking horse. Upsy Daisy was along for the ride.

Daddy helped Sprock have a good swing. He pushes the swing nice and hard so Lucy and Upsy Daisy squeak with excitement while Mummy and Nana Moo look on disapprovingly.

Nana Moo's swing pushing is a little more sedate.
