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.

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.

Wee Wii Fit

Lucy is having her first go on the Wii Fit.

She has really mastered the step exercises

Now she is trying a bit of Yoga

She has done very well.

We don't tell her she is the first person to ever try that exercise on our Wii sho her first place position may be a bit exaggerated. Having said that - probably not. Daddy is not famous for his Yoga skillz.

She does particularly well at the lying down and smiling game.

Splendid dismount!

Fireworks in Enfield

Aunty Lorna has invited Lucy together with Pink and Stewby over to Enfield to watch the spectacular firework show that the boy scouts arrange every year.

Lucy is very impressed with the candy floss.

Lucy gets a better view of the awesome display by sitting on Daddies shoulders.

This does not enhance Daddies ability to enjoy the fireworks.

Eventually Lucy agrees to remove her candy floss from Daddies face.

To reward Uncle Stewby for taking a turn carrying Lucy, she steals his cap.

A brief clip of the fireworks

Zombie!

Daddy enters into the spirit of Halloween through the expert application of some zombie special effects.

Lucy is so frightened that she almost drops her lolly.

Aunty Pink doesn't really put her back into the zombie Apocalypse

Longleat 2011

Cave Men

Lucy's first effort to impersonate a cave dweller was not a great success

Her second attempt was slightly more convincing

Waterfall

Lucy is intrigued by this waterfall in Syon Park.

Lucy attempts to wrench Daddy's head off his shoulders

Hello

Oh, hello

Genetics in Action

Do the maths kid. If Mummy and Daddy both wear glasses then the odds are that you won't be laughing about them when you get older. You'll be wearing them!

Possibly a smaller pair than these though

Countryside

Uncle Stewby and Aunty Pink have taken us to a posh country house called Standen. But we aren't here for the house, we're here for the glorious countryside.

Daddy and Lucy take a break from wandering round

What a lovely day

Lucy is feeling quite relaxed

Pretty girl with a pretty view

Pub

Lucy is playing on the slide at the Coach and Horses

She is scoffing a bowl of rather fine chips. Daddy look like he would like a chip.

Daddy requests a chip from his beloved offspring. "No Daddy, they are my chips"

Panda Returns

What a happy day. Lucy's best friend Panda has been "on holiday" for the past month or so.

It seems quite strange that his travel agent arranged for the last stop on his trip to be behind the telephone table.

Lucy doesn't care where Panda has been on his holidays. She is just happy that her best friend is back. And he even broke her a Panda hat as a present.

Lucy insists that Daddy tries on her new Panda hat. It is quite a tight fit.

It fits Uncle Matt very well though

Daddy

Lucy is cuddling her Daddy

That smile looks very natural, doesn't it!

Tabby McTat

Grandma and Grandad gave Lucy a fine selection of books for her birthday. This is especially appropriate since they got Lucy her fine bookcase where all her new books will live.

Lucy is a particular fan of the books of Julia Donaldson. She has most of her books, but there were a few missing and Grandma and Grandad cleverly spotted the ones she needed. She is particularly fond of the ones illustrated by Axel Scheffler and there was one that she did not have Tabby McTat. Lucy is entranced as Daddy reads it to her.

Did you enjoy your story Lucy?

Yes I did!

Daddy and Lucy at the Playground

Daddy and Lucy are at the playground. Daddy is pushing Lucy on the swing.

She is swinging very high

Swinging is great fun

Then she hops on her bike for the journey home
