You & Me

Although much of our time is still spent refereeing, there are increasingly some nice moments like these...



Grand Designs

A very proud Madeleine exhibiting her latest design for modern living.

These Boots Were Made For Walking...

...or not, as they really don't appear very comfortable and they certainly aren't orthotic. However, we are reliably informed that this is what all the kids in Canada are wearing. I think this look is complimented by the big nappy, a lack of trousers and a fake spider in the mouth. Thanks for the loan of these Nate.


Japanese Threads

Madeleine and Thomas in their traditional Japanese outfits - lovely. Thanks for fitting us all out Will & Mai!


Two Peas In a Pod

Madeleine and Bess spending some quality time together; first in Norfolk, then in Stamford. Bess' parting words as she was getting in the car were "larve you Mardy" ("love you Maddy")....very sweet.

Lemon Head

Lockerbrook

We had a day at home before trotting off to the Peak District to spend the weekend with 17 other adults and 15 other children (age range 9 weeks-5 years) in order to celebrate Esme's 30th.



Battling the elements.


This is the only occasion we were able to get all 17 children in 1 place at the same time (just). One poor kid's being prodded with a stick to get back in line!


And here is everyone.


Madeleine and Wilfred - inseparable.
