Swing and Bubbles!

Mya's clever Daddy has made her a fabulous tyre swing, very cool.



She was also very excited by her new cat bubble machine. Although John did have to silence the extremely annoying tune that it played.

Babes in the Garden

A beautiful day with wonderful company.

The sun was shining so we put up the gazebo, put out the picnic blankets and paddling pool.

So much fun. Let's hope it's the first of many this Summer.
