Maddie

Just a couple of Maddie taken last week. She now has her own little chair and was merrily munching on a rusk whilst I was preparing dinner. She still is a dream to look after (long may it last) and is almost crawling.

Lindy's 60th birthday

My very good friend Lindy turned 60 and had a 1940's birthday party on 29th Aug, she is the one in the red dress. Everyone dressed up in 1940's costume and all looked great, there was a variety of outfits ranging from an evacuee, land army girls, spivs, farmworkers (which Colin went as), american and british servicemen and ladies out to tea (that was me). Lindy had the hall decorated with bunting, old posters and had ration books printed, the band she had was a 'swing band', they were really good and some of the music played was from the Glen Miller era. Lindy looked liked she was having a great time which she deserved. Lindy and I trained together along with Raine, Gill and Veronica who are in the group picture, two of our group are not in the picture, Elaine was doing the catering and was in the kitchen when the photo was taken, Alicia couldn't make the party, she had to travel up from Cornwall but her daughter had just had her first baby and Alicia was helping her out.

Suggs

Suggs had just been having a wash and brush up and was disturbed by Colin to get some photo's of him, poor old Suggs looked a bit put out, can't say I blame him really.

Maddie

Maddie is now 8 months old and weighs in at 12lb 3oz. These photo's were taken a couple of weeks ago. She is up on her knees but not crawling yet but rolls about the floor and gets her toys with no problems. She likes her bouncy thing that hangs in the door which is useful when I want to get on with things.
