An old friend becomes a new friend.

Someone has a special mega jumbo cone with a home-grown strawbalily.

 Don't worry, she'll run it off at the school sports day. Come on you blues.

Going for gold. Well bronze, as Lily came third in the skipping.

Lily likes Daddy's new bass. But it might be a while before she's big enough to play it as well as her own one.

Another whopping strawberry that Lily grew herself.

Well, at least she got stickers from the dentist for behaving well. Though minus a few points for the fillings...

Lily saw Charlie chilling out and instantly copied him.

Grace had a cool pool party for her birthday. And Lily Boo was ready to jump right in.

Who could resist a trampoline picnic?

Lily got to meet Mummy and Daddy's old college friend, Big Chris.

We wanted to show him around, so Lily dressed for the beach.

Chris certainly picked the right weekend to visit, weather-wise.

First there was shrieking because of how cold the sea was. Followed by shrieking from spotting a jellyfish...

The Factor 50 gang.

We took a few supplies.

And a few group photos.

20 years ago, this was not an uncommon sight on the beach at Great Yarmouth.

Then it was home for tramposkipping.

And a goggle-eyed tea party.

Finally, to capitalise on the sunshine, Mummy bought the biggest paddling pool we've ever seen.

It was even big enough to dive in.
