Engarland 2010 - Road Trip - Devon

Only two days in Devon, but two very lovely days! George was over the moon to see farfar Andie again so soon! And even though he was terrified of doggy Stella to begin with, he soon warmed to her and bossed her around like he'd done nohting else... Very funny!

We went down to pretty Lyme Regis and threw stones on the beach and had the obligatory Fish and chips, which were yummy! George and Ursula Granny Devon went looking for fossils on the beach, whilst myself and Matt took a wander through the little town.

On the way home, we stopped at an animal farm, with lots of cute little animals and an amazing amount of different birds! However, George was most impressed with the guinea pigs and the playground...

On Saturday we took a drive through some of the quaint little villages surrounding Honiton, and had a very scrumptious lunch at the gastro pub 'Man in the moon', with amazing views over the valleys! Breathtaking!

We headed back to Ampthill in the late afternoon, and George handled the trip amazingly! No tricks or tantrums, but we did keep him quiet with sweeties... Stockholm detox awaits!

Stopped to see Tom in St Alban on the way back. Lovely to see him! They've just bought a new house, which was really nice and will be a good place for their little family for the next few years!

Engarland 2010 - Road Trip

First stop: Beckley, East Sussex.

On the way there, we also stopped in the small town of Rye, soo picturesque with all its little shops and pubs. Very nice.

Stuart and Sarah's house is an old Tudor style. Very old... But the kitchen had been done up and was very nice indeed! We had a lovely evening and George and little Frank hit it off straight away! Frank, being the old and responsible one, tucked tem both in behind a blanket when they were watching a dvd... How sweet...

We slept in little Betty's very pink room, and after a few more crazy jumparounds on their trampolin, we set off for Farfar Andie and Granny Devon.

Engarland 2010 - Ampthill

Happy days being back in Ampthill! Farmor had made George his very own Tipi, which he spent most of his time in during the first day! We also celebrated Timmo's new job, big congratulations to you!

Farfar visiting

Farfar came to see us a few weeks back, and we've been so busy, I haven't had the time to post anything since...

It was great to have him over! He helped tremendously on the house - he and Matt finished off the guttering and the edge boards of the roof, put up all the tin lining around the window (still a lot missing, but they put up all we had...), sorted out the water supply on the outside, and more... Big thanks for that!

We also thought we'd better treat him to some nice outings, so one day we went to Rosendals Trädgårdar, where they had a nice garden exhibition on; 'Sommarsalonger'. Me and Matt got some inspiration for our garden which was good! Then we had a picnic on the lawn and a yummy ice-cream in the quaint little cafe!

And not to forget how happy George was to have farfar around! In the boiling heat I might add! Tropical Stockholm!
