Mini-me!

My mum keeps telling me I had an uncanny resemblance to the Pickle as a baby, so I thought I would do some digging!

A quick flick through the photo albums and et voila! It actually is pretty uncanny, despite the obvs boy/girl difference (and check out the funky brown sofa - sorry mum!)

Me at seven months, circa 1980 - have you ever seen such concentratation trying to get into a tube of smarties?




Pickle at seven months about to chase after the cat!.

I actually think I was a chubbier baby than Pickle, but hey I was obviously as fond of chocolate back then as I am now!

A day at the Farm

I love animals, the outdoors and generally anything to do with the country. Hence, last weekend prompted by a visit from my sister, we decided to pack up and take Pickle to Church Farm.


Church Farm is fab!!! You could easily spend a whole day here, and I can totally see why families buy season tickets for the place. In additional to the cursory animals there's a indoor soft play area,  outdoor play area, trampolines, ride alongs and my personal favourite the straw barn! Basically a barn full of straw that you can let your toddlers run wild in!

I thought it would be rude not to try it myself! Anyway, much fun was had by all and I have a sneaky feeling we might be making a few return visits in the not so distant future.

Not quite a Ronaldo in the making, but you never know!
