Victorians!

When I went away a couple of weeks ago Del and Mia went to the Victorian Festival of Christmas. Here's some photos of them dressed up as Victorians! They look the part don't they!
Mia also met Father Christmas but she didn't look very happy in that picture!

Newspapers over breakfast

Mia likes nothing better than catching up on the news over breakfast!

Mia at 18 months

I've been a bit rubbish at posting on here recently and plan to do some catch up posts with some photos from our holiday to Bournemouth and of Mia's first haircut. But for the time being here are some photos from today of Mia as a big 18 month old!

Snacking

This is what Mia does while I'm trying to prepare breakfast, poor starving child!

A bank holiday day out in Brighton

We decided to go to Brighton for the day on the bank holiday. We went on the train which Mia seemed to enjoy (certainly more than she ever enjoys the car!). Mia liked taking in the sights and sounds of the Brighton streets.
One of the reasons for heading to Brighton was to see Ruth, Andy and Ronald who were cycling down from London, however the trip took them longer than they thought and they only arrived at 3.45 and our train home was at 4pm! It was good to see them even though it was brief!

A visit from Ness and Jim

Nessa and Jim and Nessa's 20 week baby bump visited last weekend. We had a really good time with them. On sunday morning there was a free art event at Southsea Skatepark, there was lots of artwork on display and if you liked it you could take it home with you. It was supposed to be limited to one per person but we got a bit carried away (as you can see in the photo)!

Storytime

Mia really enjoys storytime. We've had various guest readers recently, including Anna and Jim
