Owl and Otter sanctuary

Beth spotting some wildlife in Buxton.

Ambulance

Emily gave us a scare last week. She was struggling for breath, we were ambulanced to the hospital at 7am, she responded well to steroids and antibiotics and was treated for bronchiolitis. She is fine now, back to shouting and screaming at all of us.

Race

What a glorious weekend weather wise, perfect for an animal race. Emily had her first go on these, Beth was a pro, jumped on and shot off. This was at Ellington fayre on Saturday afternoon.

Rheims

A few pics from our fabulous trip to France.

Easter egg hunt

There were plenty of eggs to be found in the Stringer house.

Hop scotch incident

It's a dangerous game for a two year old..

Tooth number 6 going with the fairy tonight.

The blink of an eye

No sooner had I left the room to get Emily some milk...

Tea anyone?

Birthday

Emily and I had a lovely birthday on Saturday, despite the weather trying its utmost to spoil it. We spent the morning at home and the afternoon at Grandad and Grandma's house. In the evening Parkes and I ventured down to the Thirty-Nine Steps pub in Broadstairs, followed by a stonking curry in Spice Cottage. Thanks for all the good wishes and cards peeps. 

Roast Dinner

We haven't been down to the Belgian Bar for sunday lunch for a while. Lots of staff changes but the food is still good and plentiful. I took a snap of my chook - it gives you an idea of the belt-busting quest ahead of me.

Quiet

Sorry we've been a bit quiet on the blog, no excuses, just busy. It's Team Feb Birthday weekend this weekend. Emily wants to go on a bus and Stringer wants to go to the Indian for a cuzza. Thanks to Grandma we can fulfil both Birthday wishes. We shall post pictures accordingly.

Hmmmm

Strings in a compromising position with a covent garden performer. I think he liked it

Beer!!

This was taken at Gadds' Uber hop beer launch. What a great night!

Breakfast gear

Emily came to eat her breakfast wearing this.. She was born in the wrong era, there's a hint of a raver about her.

Christmas cheer

It's fast approaching...

Drawing

Emily enjoys a bit of drawing. We have been looking at junior schools for Beth, what a minefield! We will put our choices down and hope for the best.

Lazy Saturday

It's handy having a big sister to read to you. It's a rare moment when both of them are quiet, happy and not shouting at each other.

It really is the big man himself!

Father Christmas popped by on Sunday, nice fella.

Christmas present??

All Beth wants for Christmas is her two front teeth... Her pox are clearing, but Emily's spots are appearing at a rate of knots.
