You can never have too many hats....

Martha - 5 months - where has the time gone?!

Back to Wales





We went back to Wales with Mike's family, the same place as our weekend away and the same house.
The town was quieter this visit as the schools were back which was lovely.
We pottered, I walked on the beach in the early mornings, we did some train things, had lovely meals, the men cycled and walked...Esther and I pram-pushed. It was a lovely break.

Visitors


My cousin and his wife stopped by for a cuppa on their way to their holiday. They were travelling from Scotland to the south coast so it was very nice for them to take the time to see us. Martha loved having them to play with her and give cuddles.

Come back and see us soon K&L xx

Flowers...


We were given these beautiful asters - they seem to be around for such a short time here and they are so cheery.



Another discovery that I find cheering are Sarah Smith cleaning cloths - what a good idea - pretty dusters, now that does help with the housework. It really does!

Tiffin


Friends Mark and Jan came to visit and I made some scones and some cranberry and pecan tiffin courtesy of Attic24's blog.
It was very yummy!

I've since made it for taking on holiday and am making it again this weekend - doesn't last long!
Such an easy recipe and no baking involved.

Ali visit


My good friend Ali came up to stay at her mum's new house so I went over to see her with my mum too. She took some photos of Martha with my mum - really cute ones! It was lovely to catch up with them all - Ali, the kids, her parents, see their new house and her sister Lisa too. We had tea and cake and the afternoon flew by.

August Visit


My parents came to stay for a visit and helped us lots with feeds and cuddles for Martha and also watched her while we chose tiles and bathroom and kitchen stuff for the new house - this was super-useful as it look a l-o-n-g time.
We had a few little trips too...into Kenilworth for coffee and walking around, to St Nicholas Park in Warwick where we watched the boat races on a sunny day and we also had a BBQ on a warm evening before they travelled home again.
