Thursday 9th July 2009
Well as expected another busy week was on the agenda. First of all on Friday we went shopping!! We headed to York but had to change our plans slightly as it rained so heavily we could not get out of the car!!! We made it in the end though and bought some lovely clothes for both myself and mummy and we even got daddy a lovely shirt too!!
On Saturday we stayed in but had lots of visitors in the shape of Great-Grandma and Grandad, Auntie Michelle and Ian, Ben, Andrea and baby Henry and Uncle Jonathan, Auntie Jo and baby Manina - phew!! We had a lovely BBQ with lots of yummy sausages and burgers and the sun was shining, so Henry and I jumped into the pool to cool down, baby Manina was too little to join us though.
Then on Sunday we had more sunshine and more water as we headed off to the seaside - we went to Bridlington and two of the pictures at the top show me in my sunny beach day outfit and also playing on the beach with my bucket and spade, I also had an ice-cream (well some of everyone else's) and sat very briefly on a donkey before i cried and mummy saved me by lifting me off!!
Monday was shopping day again and we headed into Leeds (and more rain). We met mummies friend Sarah for lunch at the art gallery which was really yummy!! We also caught a bus which was fun and made me very sleepy, especially when mummy was chatting to random people on the bus.
Tuesday was another big day out as we headed off to Knaresborough with Grandma, Auntie Becs and Manina and her mummy and daddy! Once again you've guessed it we had sunshine and then rain!! Luckily we found a coffee shop to keep dry in - some things never change no matter where you live!! I played my first game of golf as well, it was crazy golf and we lost although I think that was mainly mummy's fault!! We had lunch and dinner in a pub - apparently this was only Nina's second time in a pub - so I am being blamed for leading her astray!!!
Then on Wednesday we headed of to Lincoln, which was lovely. After a bit of retail therapy we met up with Ruth and Archie for lunch. Archie is two months older than me and we had fun eating our pizza (or more technically throwing it all over the floor) and then running along the waterfront chasing pigeons and ducks!!! I have attached a picture of the two of us running around.
Phew!! Finally today we had some more shopping to do including a brand new pushchair for me (not sure how mummy is getting that one in the suitcase!!) and then we had a lovely visit from Great-Grandma and Grandad - which resulted in me discovering what the biscuit tin looks like!! Then when we had picked Grandad up from work and I had had my third (!) sleep of the day, Isobel came round to play with her daddy and granny (they are friends of June next door), although we had to hide under the gazebo to play in the ball pool as once again it rained!!!
Well I am thoroughly exhausted this week and have been catching sleep wherever and whenever I can (I am generally asleep within 5 mins of getting in the car no matter what time of the day it is!) I have tried some new food as well - peaches (not that good), rice pudding (yuck!), chocolate pudding and custard (created a complete meltdown - double yuck!!!), Auntie Bec's chocolate buttons (double yummy!!!), Auntie Bec's ice lolly - like the lollies but not that keen on ice cream ones, Auntie Bec's water (so much yummier than anyone else's) - poor Auntie Bec's has not managed to eat anything all week!!!
Well, I hope that you like this week's blog - am sure that there are lots of things that I have missed out. I have a new best friend in Jasper dog - he makes me giggle and is the first thing that I look for when I wake up on a morning, I enjoy chasing him around the house, although I am not entirely convinced he always wants to be chased. As you can see from the pictures he loves me too, why else would he be trying to get in through the cat flap??!! (Mummy has just reminded me that he is trying to get in that way as I had sent him out and shut the door behind him - ooops!!)
Well, am going to say bye bye for now. Next week's blog will be slightly late as we will be on an aeroplane at the time the blog should be going to press, heading back to sunny and rainy Singapore. Mmm, home from home I guess!!
Love and kisses to you all
Ellie-Smellie (as Grandad likes to call me!) xx
