Mummy's Music

What's on your iPod Mummy?

This should be interesting

You have got to be kidding me! Abba! Welsh Techno! Rick Astley?

Where is the Marillion? And The Sisters of Mercy? And Sideburner? And Crazy Uncle? Oh Mummy!

Eating Pizza

Lucy is so proud of the Pizza that she has made

She cuts it into triangles like a professional

Hmmm. It taste so ... interesting

Have you still go that number for Dominos Mummy?

Making Pizza

Lucy is making an Easy Peasy Pizza.

First thing is to add some tomato sauce to the Pizza base

Maybe some nice red peppers

Then some ham

And controversially - some more tomato

Manicure

In later life, ladies (and some men) love the pampering exprience of a manicure. Whilst understanding that having her nails clipped makes her more pretty, Lucy has still not fully bought into the idea, so hoof clipping is currently accompanied by a bottle of milk and a film on the Tele. Does the trick quite nicely.

Dinner at Chez Whitton

Pink and Stewby are quite rightly impressed with their new dinning table. Scoffing a plate of food on your knee is fine normally but on special occasions, like when your favorite niece is visiting, it is nice to be a bit more formal.

At first Lucy is a bit tentative.

Then she realizes that she has been given a grown up fork. Yum Yum, Stewby's Shepard's Pie (Lucy version without the creamy mash) is a triumph.

Then she gets to play with that odd dog. There is such a thin line between beloved family treasure and a yellow block of wood with 4 loosely attached legs. Lucy must be a Porter girl because she appears far more charitably disposed to it than her cynical father.

Bounce

Aunty Lorna got Lucy a proper trampoline for Christmas. There is a some what inevitable sequence to events. Bounce Bounce Bounce.

Wiiiiiiiii.

Bonk. Don't think this is negative though. She absolutely loves it and always goes down laughing.

Scrooge McSponk

Aunty Pink has given Lucy this Snowman money box. She puts all her coin collection in it.

Then she empties it out again.

Then she puts her loot back in. Normally accompanied by strident requests for "More Monies pwease". She is her Mummies daughter ;-)

Climbers Creepers

Lucy checks on the availability of the snail in Kew Gardens's Climbers Creepers

Yay!

This snail is almost as fast as Mummy's car

Sliding

Ready!

Steady!

Wee!

Horse Riding

Whenever Lucy decides that she wants a Pony she is pretty soon mollified by a ride on this super accurate simulator.

For goodness sake - don't tell her it is a cow!

Lunch

Before Lunch it is always a good idea to wash your hands. This is especially true when you are on a farm.

Lucy is disappointed by Mummy's audition for Doctor Who which fell short of the mark.

Nom Nom Nom. Smoothie.

Rabbits

It's cold at Bockett's Farm. That is why Lucy is wearing her big coat. Fortunately the rabbits have their own fur coats.

Stewby has a snooze

Uncle Stewby always takes a power nap for 30 minutes on a Sunday evening prior to our regular Scrabble game. Lucy decides to join him.

In an experience familiar to many men, Lucy decides to take the lions share of the Nug.

However, Lucy is a kind hearted Nug dweller and recognises that she taken a bit more than her fair share. So she gives Stew a bit of Nug back.

Ultimately her generosity gets the better of her and Uncle Stewby is restored to full Nug status

Dark Shape

What is this dark shape that Lucy is carrying about the place?

Lucy is introducing Boo to Peppa Pig. Poor old Boo.

Through the Web

Lucy is playing on the yellow climbing fame in the playground.

She thinks it is a bit like a spiders web.

Two Telescopes

Lucy has got two telescopes. I wonder what she can see?

She can see Daddy!
