Christmas in Kent

Ottie has a bit of a treatment from Emma on Boxing Day.

This is about as posed as it could get after christmas lunch

What do you think about my new picture - the artist is being a bit bashful

Pearl's 4th birthday

Birthday girl with giraffe wearing giraffe hat

Blowing up balloons the Farnicombe way - with a compressor

Sid and Dad playing games on computer

Right. YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. You can see the gap left for this year's photos of ALL of you

Montage of the Big Weekend.

Some of the 34 pics up on the wall in the study/playroom

and here's the gap

Major event - Baz's first catch, a lovely rainbow trout

Really scary film - called 'Ratatouille' I think - so Rachel & Pearl are both hiding inside the tent

And then there were three

Pearl, Iris and Ottie and play doh - note Ottie checking out an escape route

Iris and Pearl played really well together, although by 1.30 Pearl had worn Iris out

Now she's even taken over my desk ... and still in hre pjs




 

when they're really naughty I send them out to have lunch with the garden team

Bit of a result.... Bliss

Keeping one step ahead of those down under. Where are your pictures?

bit of home cooking with play doh

followed by some DIY

Ottie had the first aid kit out just in case

Ottie FINALLY got the hang of blowing rather than sucking

Middle of October & these two nymphs are barefooted playing with the sand on the deck in full sunshine

3 Schoolgirls siting on our steps

Do you think we might have taken the concept of downsizing too far?

Pearl, practising being a farmer .... all she needs is a bit of straw sticking out of he mouth. She has certainly got the one-handed driving bit.

So what do we call the house now that my lovely tree surgeon has taken down all the pines?

... and now posting from Cornwall! Katie enjoying a round of golf with Baz

Pearl conducting the music at Gifford's circus

Rachel reckons this family pic with Phil represented by his guitar (as he is at Glastonbury) as seriously 'tragic' - never one to mince her words!

Hen Party at the Cart Hovel

Josh making his two word speech at the Rocksalt opening party.

Perfect place for lunch on a sunny day at high tide

Certainly more buns for your money

Da da .... yes you guessed it ... isn't it pretty

I knew there was no-one there ... am I talking to myself?

Guess what is under the dustsheet?

House for sale ... with picturesque garden water feature ... house has no water but garden does

More Big Weekend - from Na this time

Aren't they playing nicely?

So that's what a paddling pool is for...

And here is Sunday
