Photo Overload

No time for talk, look at pics instead!! Had a busy couple of weeks, with a few unexpected days off for Mum and Dad 'cause poor Julia has been really ill - hope you're getting better now Julia - lots of LOVE...

So here's a load of photos from the last two weeks, including...

Mum's new haircut, photo-bombed by moi

And now, without me...

Father's Day!

If "cute" is a competition, I win.

Not really, it's Uncle David's, who came to visit on Sunday!

My absolute favourite type of swing...

Moody / cool.

Sandcastle: going, going,

...gone.

Hi everybody,

Today I went to see my first ever indoor concert! Mum, Dad and me went to the Hammersmith Apollo to see The Wiggles! We were very lucky as someone Dad knows helped him get free tickets, so we had enough money to be able to buy me a Dorothy the Dinosaur backpack AND a red 'The Wiggles in Concert' t-shirt.

We got there at about 1.15 pm, bought our swag and took our seats (row J) and waited (and waited) until the lights went down at around 2pm and then... the ringmaster started the show and introduced each of The Wiggles: Jeff (in purple), Greg (in yellow, his first tour since about 2006 because he got sick), Anthony (blue) and Murray (red).

It was a very special show because it was the final London show ever for this line-up. After their 2012 tour dates, Murray, Jeff and Greg are all leaving the band and a new version will tour from next year. They've been doing it for 21 years and need a rest I guess : )

During the show, lots of people had taken flowers (for Dorothy), bones (for Wags the Dog) and all sorts of cards and signs for the band and sometimes the band came down into the audience to collect them!

At one point when this happened, me and Dad went out to the foyer to get me a drink of water and we bumped into Murray as he was making his way back downstairs so we said a quick hello and he asked me what my name was!

The view outside!

Diamond Jubilee / Lincolnshire Fun

Hi all,

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II has been our Queen for 60 years (wow!) so to celebrate, the whole country (well, most of it) has gone Queen crazy (in a good way).

And on Friday, we had our Jubilee picnic / concert at school. This meant Mum could come along to school and stay around all afternoon to watch me get up on stage with my fellow Butterflies to sing a special adaptation of 'Tea For Two' and also 'I'm A Little Teapot' which was great fun.

Then on Saturday, we drove to Lincolnshire to visit Grandma Anthea and Grandad Tony (not forgetting Uncle Andy, Aunty Sarah and cousins Joe, Beth, Katie and Adam).

Sunday saw us going to Skegness for (some of) the day as the weather was too bad to be outdoors (which was the original plan) and involved my first goes at 10-pin bowling which was great fun.

And yesterday we went to a local Farm Fair where they had a few cool rides and a miniature train which I went on THREE times!
