Weekend Away

Last weekend we had a long weekend in Harlech and decided to go by train. Height of excitement for Isobel taking the commuter train, tube (best of all beeping the ticket) and finally boarding the 'big' train. The weather was fantastic and we went to the beach everyday. This also meant ice-cream everyday and it amazes me how much Isobel can put away! She loved pottering in Nain and Taid's shop and thought everything was for her!

Visiting Granny



We had a long weekend in Somerset staying with Granny  - and visiting great Granny (where Isobel was on her best behaviour!). On Sunday we took a walk which Isobel took in her stride:

So grown-up                




Walking with Granny
I know I shouldn't really have these old apples....
Fascinating.....for both parties
And she did it!

Visits - Part 2

After the baby and toyshop extravaganza, we headed up to Harlech in North Wales to see Richard's parents - and Isobel's Nain and Taid. And of course Gryff - the black pug who was more than happy to be cuddled, sat on and bossed by Isobel in return for scooping up some crumbs at meal times!

We took Isobel to an animal farm where she met three little kids (goats!), calves, lots of goats, bunnies, sheep, chickens and the farm dog. Nervous to begin with, she grew with confidence and when we came back with Nain and Taid she was dashing everywhere.


Holding the bunny was quite an experience:


She also tried her hand at driving a few tractors:


And thought the car was fun too....

Visits - Part 1

Last Sunday we drove up to Bramhall to see James, Kaye and baby Max. He is gorgeous and so very handsome. Isobel was in heaven with a real baby and on the whole was very good with him.



Not sure he is ready for a choc chip biccie just yet:



Monday Isobel walked into Uncle James and Auntie Kaye's toyshop - she was in heaven yet again (and baby Max was with us too - the excitement!) She spent a good hour being very busy with a mini shopping trolley - filling it up, taking things to the counter, pushing around a pram, talking to the life sized soft dogs and giraffes....she even forgot to have a snack.



Isobel then proceeded into a number of the shops in Bramhall with pram saying hello to everyone. Even hanging out the washing with Uncle James was an adventure:
