Dockey Woods - Fields of Bluebells

These fields of Bluebells bloom like this for about two weeks each year - there are pathways through miles and miles of Bluebells and people come to walk through them and take photos.

Lots of Different Adventures

William, Nana, Pop and I visited Druisilla's in East Sussex near Brighton for a Day Out With Thomas. William and Pop were very excited to ride on a large Thomas, we sat in the Annie carriage for a very very short ride around the park. William kept saying 'I on Thomas', 'I on Thomas'. He gave the small Thomas engine a kiss as we were leaving saying 'bye, bye, Thomas'.

William meets Cousin Isabella

William and I have just spent the last 5 days in the seaside town of Swanage visiting Paul's uncle Peter and his cousins, Emma, Katrina and Steve with their daughter Isabella.

William had loads of fun with Isabella and Katrina and we had to bribe each child to put their shoes on or eat their dinner with the prospect of going to see each other - it was quite funny!

William also had loads of fun with Emma, he took to her very quickly and sat on her bed going through her wallet and talking to her while she got ready for work - he reclined back on her pillows holding court and did not want to come downstairs to join the rest of us!

Trains on the kitchen floor with Emma and Bella

William's Trip to England - Part One

After much doubt our flight took off as scheduled on Friday 23rd - William had a great flight, was very well behaved and loved the in-flight entertainment, not to mention the pre-flight entertainment with the Qantas pusher and his Bob the Builder toy.

This is good stuff!

This is great Nana, I can choose between, Bob, Thomas or Fireman Sam and even the Wiggles, all under my control - WOW!

Trains with Pop and Fishing with Daddy

Well it is only a couple of weeks now until William and I along with Nana and Pop head off to England to see everyone. William has been talking with Grandma and Grandpa on Skype - we have to clean our screen from kisses!!!

We spent Easter on Phillip Island and Paul and William caught the most expensive Trout we have ever eaten - entry fee, fish fee and cleaning fee - WOW - but loads of entertainment and excitement for William - I keep telling Paul - it's not about him anymore!!!!

William spent the day with Nana and Pop recently and he had loads of fun playing trains with Pop in the shed - watching Thomas, Annie and Clarabel chuck along the track with squeals of excitement.

William now knows how to climb out of his toddler bed and stands at our bed at 5am saying - Daddy, Daddy!!! Oh No!!! He has been teething again which has meant some sleepless nights but hopefully it won't be long until they are all through.

Dargo was a washout this year - it rained for most of the time we were there and William burnt his hand on the camp toaster - after an hour of crying and "sore Mummy" he calmed down with the help of some panadol and a good sleep, then he was off exploring in the river with Paul. He had second degree burns on his hand but it has all healed up now.
