Flipping the Top

Feeding the ducks with Nana and Grandad at the park in Cambridge (man there were HEAPS!! obviously they know that it is duck shooting season and head for the nearest urban park, they're not silly!!....which can't be said for those unfortunate hunters sitting, freezing their bits off in a damp cold maimai of a foggy morning rofl!). Lovely to see some Autumn colour as we don't get much here in the North....will add some more pics tomorrow....I wore myself out making the fantastic new blog banner up there so I'm heading to bed...heh, heh.


Edited to add more pics......
A beautiful sunshiney Cambridge day!

Look at how big these two rascals are getting! They had a great time at Rainbows end on the way down, there favourite bit was the arcade where you bought tokens and played different types of games which gave you tickets at the end depending on how well you did...you then got to trade your tickets in on toys at the counter...they really enjoyed the whole process, counting up the tickets, and working out what they could buy for that amount of tickets...we came away with a wonderful booty of rubbishy plastic toys...the best one was the wind up false teeth which we presented to Granddad in case he might need them some time soon rofl!! We did our bit on the kiddy rides at the Cadbury Land area but I could see that next time we go they will be well ready for some of the bigger rides like the log flume and the go karts etc....we walked around and looked at the big swinging pirate ship and the new roller coaster, their eyes bugging out with glee!

Our little fireman Sam...every single day there is some sort of fireman role play...the little plastic one he got for Christmas is on its last legs with bits lovingly pulled off and the wheels enthusiastically squashed down so they don't turn anymore, the siren dosn't work anymore, but he still loves it. The ride on firetruck loaded with the belt off my dressing gown for a hose and with a serious crack in the seat that has been worn smooth by small bums still gets raced up and down the house to various emergencies followed in hot pursuit by Tom the helicopter pilot (Mum) who has to whirl a piece of plastic piping above his (her)head when flying the helicopter. Playcentre is a favourite as the play fort has a fire engine incorporated into it and any time we go to a playground the first thing he flies down is the pole...in fact many things are turned into firemen poles...the washing line pole, the leg of the coffee table, the shade cloth pole (owwee splinters!)

Here is Mum and Dads Beautiful new house, currently having a new garden landscaped with ponds and all! They has even joined the blogging world From the Horses mouth so we can keep uptodate with life in Cambridge!

A bit horse riding action across the road at the training track every morning makes for a great atmosphere!

Its a great home stay I tell ya, gorgeous rooms and we got bacon and eggs for breakfast and delicious roast dinner, a little waiter who runs around swatting the flies and they even have a baby sitting service! 5-star **** recommend to all! heh, heh, heh!!
