Little Bits

This is my favourite family photo!! No need to worry who is smiling or who has their eyes closed!! It was taken on a walk around my parent's new patch one Sunday afternoon. From left to right the shadows belong to; Lee, Annie-Joy (in pram), me, Timmy, my Mum, Luke, Jordan (with huge stick!) & my Dad (waving!)
During the walk we visited Oswald's Well, saw little alder cones, chatted to some local children who were building camps under some huge oak trees & saw the water treatment fountains!! Annie-Joy is wearing a lovely little top that my mum made for me when I was her age. considering it is 30 years old it looks good, doesn't it?
The boys all had the chance to be junior chefs at school & made delicious Summer Fruit Stacks (known as Summer Puddings to you & me). Timmy's effort was practically perfect! Annie-Joy & the boys have discovered that wearing my high heels is lots of fun! Annie thought I wanted to take a photo of the cracker she was about to eat not her looking fabulous in a lilac rar rar skirt & my shoes!! In the Davies household Friday is treat day- an incentive to behave at home & at school! The boys get to chose a treat from the corner shop by their school. Luke chose Space Invader crisps (yuck!!) one week & really did not want to put the empty packet in the bin after he had eaten them. We took a photo & then he was ok to throw it away! We picked up three cute boys on a recent trip to Ikea! And the boys love to climb on the green box on the way home from school. AJ likes to join them too sometimes!
Here are some cakes I made for the latest school cakes sale which helped to raise over £100! Not bad eh?

We still go walking in Sefton Park. Last time we saw a squirrel by the Fairy Glen & the boys hand fed it with acorns & conkers! AJ thought it was a mouse & kept calling for mousey!

Lee & a few other Dads we know all took their boys to the Southport Air Show for the day. They had a lot of fun! They enjoyed going inside the army trucks although the soldiers were a bit surprised that our boys wanted to try out all the levers & pedals!! The boys had fun playing on the beach & brought back about half the sand from the beach in our car!! Took me ages to hoover it up!

We all went into the city centre when Jordan had his suit fitting for Felicity & Urim's wedding. Jordan enjoyed trying on all the top hats! Afterwards we went into Lee's favourite watering hole called Brew & had fancy tea, hot chocolate & toast! The children thought it was the best!! On the way back to the car we walked past St Luke's Church which is known locally as 'the bombed out church' because it was bombed in the war & now only the walls are still standing. Inside are lovely gardens & there are often concerts & events happening there.

So, that's a little update to keep you going for now! I have lots more to blog about so hopefully I will be back very soon! Hope all who read are well. :o)
