Another notch on the Belt
We had a special supper tonight as it was Halloween. Pumpkin gnocchi with blue cheese sauce, followed by mushroom risotto, and all wrapped up with apple fritters in a cider batter. Not bad for a Wednesday night in autumn, but it was our 19th anniversary so we had something to celebrate...

What on earth am I doing here?
A question we all ask ourselves from time to time, but this probably was not going through Lewis' mind at the the time I took the picture! The earlier frame was very dramatic but did not have much going for it in the engagement department, and I only shot two frames with the clan today.
It's been gorgeous today, and we had a nice walk in the forest this morning from Beaulieu over towards Denny Wood.

Life's a beach!
This picture taken by Lewis is a great mood setter for the weekend. We met an interesting chap at Calshot tonight who'd relocated to Calshot from Liverpool many years ago. He'd decided to bring his supper down to the beach to stretch his legs, which is exactly what we do on a Friday night very often.

What no photo!
The end of the week, and I am looking forward to a good rest having picked up a strange virus that has rendered my muscles fairly useless and my grip non existent. I have been struggling to even hold a camera, let alone have the will to take pictures. I am still having difficulty doing things like writing with a pen and even typing is a challenge - but I am feeling a bit better, and my grip is coming back too, so fingers crossed.
So this is what my blog would look lik without photos!

Sunady Dinner!
We all ate supper together tonight, and unusually it was a traditional roast dinner - well almost! The menu was adjusted to allow for alien snowballs, monster mash and astronaut pie... Greg and Lewis ate it all up - even if a Lewis had to trade a piece of astronaut pe for an alien snowball.
Empty plates that's what we like to see....!

Eggstatic
Miranda was a picture today, wearing an all in one bib with light covering of lunchtime bits, dressed with assorted stains and breadcrumbs.
She does look rather happy though doesn't she!
I have been trying to record those two new teeth on the top which look like Count Dracula's incisors, but so far I haven't managed to capture a very interesting picture.

Two thirty..... (Tooth 'urty)
Miranda looking very grown up, in Budha pose on Study floor... "Well you'd be crosslegged if you have nappy rash and teeth coming through like I've got Daddy!"
Teeth as my Dentist remarked today are always troublesome. Trouble getting them, trouble looking after them, and yet more trouble when they start giving up the will stay in your mouth... So look on the bright side Miranda, this could be the start of something.

Keeping Miranda stretched...
This is Miranda's gym/lab at present - one of those things you normally find on the bar at the pub. She has to demonstrate her prowess by getting the coloured beads to the end of the wire, (not) before Mummy can cook their tea, ...otherwise they don't get any!
She thinks it's great fun, until the bead escapes and she gets her head stuck...

The fly on the wall
This shot manages to capture the kids lost in playtime - and is how I like it, when the kids are playing merrily on the floor in the study, harmoniuosly, albeit separately!
Unfortunately it all too often descends into "I was playing with that first!" and such like, and bad old daddy has to intervene.

Lewis the Twitcher!
Tiger decided it was a great afternoon to go birdwatching, so here he is in action stalking a Redcap. We had a nice walk from Beaulieu Heath over towards Denny Wood.
Also today we had a good biike ride this morning with Greg riding a fair distance on both the road and pavement. He's getting to the stage now where I can trust him to ride on the road, so long as I'm an outrider!
There was a moment today when Lewis was far ahead of us and took a right turn as traffic was following behind - he looked, signalled and went for it all on his own - it made my heart stop, but made me realise just how sensible he is.....

Cycling Proficiency
Greg's football cones have been coming in very handy recently with the cycling squad - there's not many tests I can devise that Lewi can't master within two minutes. Greg always has to try to keep up, but unfortunately his technical skills are not quite as good as Lewi!
Tonight he fell off and cut his elbow, so there were tears at Bathtime....

Truck Trader
What Lewis doesnt know about trucks, probably isn't worth knowing - a slight exageration maybe, but he certainly could teach most people a few things they didn't know they needed to know!
He can spot a lorry make before you've noticed there was even a vehicle approaching... This was one of Lewis' party bags, made with his own fair hands.

A blustery day on the Island
Today we went over to the Isle of Wight for a treat. The sea was very choppy, and there were only five vehicles in on the ferry, but we had a nice day, starting at Freshwater Bay and heading on to Niton for lunch at the Buddle Inn.
A rather charming old lady came up to us and said what a fantastic family we had - so I guess we must be doing something right!
After a visit to the Botanic Garden in Ventnor we had to race home to catch the ferry....
