A Day with Jan Chalmers

We've had a lovely day with Jan, mother's very dear friend at East Dean, West Sussex.




It was so wonderful to spend some time with her at her and Rob's beautiful cottage in the country. Whilst Mya enjoyed playing on the quilted rug next to the Arga, I was spoilt with a very tasty lunch.

Relaxing with Great Granny Rose and Tescos Shopping

We've had a quieter day today, mainly because Mya seems to be teething and has been a bit grizzly.
She enjoyed relaxing with great granny Rose in the lounge, playing with her toys.



Mya also had her first experience of supermarket shopping when we popped into Tescos to get some supplies.

Just like old times

Today we caught up with Zena and Ross. It was so wonderful to spend time with them, it felt just like I hadn't been away.


Thank you Ross for taking some fabulous photos and being chief entertainer for Mya.

Visit to Hayling

This morning we went to pick up Granny Rose and go to lunch with my godmother Jill.




Before heading along the road we had a cup of tea at Granny's. Although it was only 1 degree outside, the sun was streaming thru the patio doors and it felt really cosy.








We had a wonderful lunch with Jill and she was great with Mya. She had lots of toys for her to play with and it was so lovely to have some time catching up.

Glad to be home with Granddad

It's lovely to be back in Petersfield and Mya had big smiles for her Granddad.

Travelling back down South

The temperatures since we've been in Lincoln haven't reached much above 4 degrees since we've been here. A bit of a shock to our systems. But today, as well as the cold, we've woken up to snow on the ground and falling from the sky. It won't deter us from heading back down South, just putting lots of layers of clothing on!


Well we made it home to Petersfield and have to say it's not the -3 degrees weather or blizzard conditions driving home that I've missed, it was sitting in a traffic jam on the A1 for an hour and a half. Really makes you appreciate the quiet of New Zealand roads.

Happy Mother's Day

I celebrated my first Mother's Day with Mya surrounded by family up in Lincoln. We spent the day at Annette's house ( John Sister). Sister Tina, Sylvia and Michael, and Annette's daughter Rachel, husband Loui and their gorgeous baby son Oliver also came round. It was a very special day.







My wonderful daughter, assisted by my gorgeous husband bought me a beautiful bouquet of flowers, it's great being a mum!
