Summer continued

If memory serves me right, the best weather we had was in the first few days after we arrived which meant we could enjoy Nanna and Granddad's back garden to the full.

Amy blows bubbles from her bubble "watch".

Granddad gets busy in the sand pit.

Manolo, happy as Larry to be able to work on his tan!

Luca having a munch.

Amy is delighted to have another hands on experience at Tam O' shanter's

Amy admires a camel at Chester Zoo.

While Uncle Andrew takes Luca in search of snakes. the rest of us collapse on a bench having walked who knows how many kilometres around the zoo!




Another day, another wildlife adventure, this time at Knowsley Safari Park. Unfortunately Tanya and I missed out as Tanya was too ill to go but apparently everyone else had a good time. Luca was particularly impressed by the "litres" of wee and "kilos" of poo produced by one elephant as they watched. He even has photographic evidence!

Luca and Amy cheesed off about not being allowed on the rides. Never mind, there's always next year!

Luca and a very long lolly ice.

Who let this beast into the car?!

Also had a lovely day out visiting Gaynor and Alistair at their house in Shropshire.

Looking for newts in Alistair's pond.

Having a well earned rest and admiring the view after our uphill ramble.
