Autumn is here

and the nights are drawing in...

aside from more teeth coming through, I've had a lovely week, even though Mummy & Daddy went out on Thursday, and Julia kindly looked after me for the night.

First pic is of their night out - one of the olds favourite bands - Doves - played some BBC event with the London Bulgarian Choir and by all accounts it was pretty special.


We were meant to be going to see Isla, Catherine and Dan yesterday, but Dan and Isla weren't so well, so we were advised to keep away, and instead we had a walk towards Ealing. Once I'd had a nap, Daddy spotted Steve and Sylvie walking past so we asked them in for a cuppa and I could show Sylvie 'round the house and talk at her for a bit ; )

So pic. no. 2 is Sylvie and I playing with a ball...


And finally for tonight is a nice pic of me this morning captured in the bright autumn sunlight streaming through the front room windows. How lovely.


Until next time, night night,

Something new

70 and counting

Wow - 70 posts, look at me showing off...

Sorry it's been a week between the last one and this, the olds have been pretty busy / tired / lazy of late, but don't worry, I'll have a word and try to put them straight.

In the meantime, i've not had that many photos to approve for the blog, but here's a couple you might like...

Hi to Granny Jean who's in Australia visiting Aunty Dawn - and also to Dawn, Andy, Jack & Cole!

Being a good girl and brushing my teeth before bed, whilst modeling a groovy pair of specs...

Again showing off my dental hygiene, nice bodysuit/babygrow - thanks dad! Where's my NIN one?

Birthday Girl !!

I am now most officially one.

Fantastic.

I must say it's gone in the blink of an eye, but I've also crammed so much in that there's way too much to remember.
Thanks to Daddy for this blog!

So - 365 days young as of yesterday. We were in Liverpool for the weekend - at the Royal Hotel to be precise and I had a party with around 60 of our closest family and friends attending. Coming soon - a roll call of everyone who came along, but for now - a huge thank you to everyone who came along - it really was great to see / meet each and every one of you and an even bigger THANK YOU for all of my lovely presents - I was totally spoiled rotten.

Special thanks to Mario for the loan of the stereo, Clan Lewis for the loan of the CDs, Granny Jean for putting said Clan up for a couple of nights and Ian and Sarah for putting Granny Anthea and Grandad Tony up and also for the "after hours" party back at your place!

And now... a few pictures.
