New Shoes! Lily had a little treat going shopping to Asda with Katie today
Bonfire Night at Ingleton
|
|
A dry night and lots of excitement for Lily who was lucky enough to have all her grandparents on hand.� Most of the piccies were not much good but the sparkler ones came out okay. |
Some snaps from Devil’s Bridge
Some photos taken by mum when Lily spent a bit of time with her on 5th November. Cheeky face!
Short seaside break
|
|
We had a cracking stay in a caravan for two nights at Reighton Sands near to Filey, N Yorkshire. Managed to do just about everything you could wish to do by the seaside in three packed days and still came home feeling relaxed and refreshed. Three places featured in the photos are Filey, Scarboroiugh and Bridlington – all classic northern seaside towns in their own way.Thanks to the Bartletts for the kind offer of the caravan and to Fiona for sorting it out for us – shame about your fan belt (she never quite made it to see us)! |
A trip to see Dips, Jane, Flo and Libby
|
|
Our good friends Dips and Jane came up with their two girls to stay in a holiday cottage at Ireby, near Kirkby Lonsdale for a week, and we popped over to see them.� Had a lovely but brief visit, and a little walk along a line of some sheepfolds created by artist Andy Goldsworthy.

A brief stay on a bright October day with the Hughes family.
 |
A lovely stay with our friends Andrew, Denise and Will. We were travelling down for the national trophy cyclocross race in Cheltenham on the Sunday but had a great chance to catch up and enjoy a lovely walk together, complete with the usual Hughes hospitality. What prescious times!Piccies include some possibly slightly odd people enjoying re-enactment of the Battle of Ripple |
A brief intermission for some ‘objects’ from Lily’s early life
|
|
Just rearranging a few things on the hard disk and came across these things that I’d put on an early version of this website but were’nt there any more. I think they’re worth having albeit in the archive.
Varying from some pencil drawings of Lily and her cousins Matthew and Angus, to some early artwork by Lily and her very first sporting certificate !! |
Slurping noodles and lounging on a mattress, aged two and a bit.
 |
A ‘found’ video – found this footage and it had never been watched so a very quick editing job. It proves how valuable video is when you’ve got children. She’s at such a great age in this footage – a real person but so much less grown up than she is now – virtually double the age in this film. Simple things in it just make Katie and I laugh. |
Lily goes to Pre-school
A bit of time before the Three Peaks race with Phil and family
Lily’s fourth birthday
 |
Blimey – it’s flying by, isn’t it. The little baby is now four years old. Lily had a great party with fourteen friends and a cake fit for a princess. | |
Olly’s first birthday party
 |
Lily’s youngest cousin, Olly, was one last week, and on Saturday there was a lovely party to celebrate – we also had Fiona (Katie’s elder sister), Jenny and Lucy (her daughters) to stay for the weekend. Lovely time. See the party video here. |
