A big day (especially if you are 4)


The Wiggles' stage

Today was a big day. We took the day off to see 'The Wiggles' live show in Plymouth. 'The Wiggles' are TV song and dance heros of the children and the thrill was amazing for us all. Helen's mind was blown and for the first 45 minutes just stared in jaw-dropped amazement. The boys loved it, singing and dancing. At tea time, once back home, it was a special moment for Angus as his teacher-to-be, Mr Unwin, visited our home. Angus was chufffed, he ran to open the door and was so proud to be the subject of all the attention. To cap it all he dressed up as Spiderman and impressed the teaching legend with his sword! What a day, I am exhausted and I am 40! A few piccies.....

Taking advantage of the great weather and inspired by the fun of the previous weekend, we ventured for 24 hours to Salcombe regis in East Devon. The campsite, weather and scenery were terrific. However, with the exception of Helen we were all tiired. Helen however was thrilled to be camping again and refused to go to sleep until after 11! Next day she awoke early, so we returned home to sleep it off in shifts! Happy days - see the pics here.

Last week we spent the school holidays in North Wales. We stayed in a great cottage near Colwyn bay, visited Beaumaris Anglesey, and went up Snowdon on the train. The highlight of the week ended however with meeting Dave, Katie and Lily and camping at Dolgam, simply terrific. Let the photos tell the story from Dave and us.......
