She's really back in the swing of things at school now. Including the Tuesday morning cross country run, whatever the weather. Grateful for those gloves from Nana Suzie though...
The latest homework was a look at dragons in different cultures all around the world. Mummy and Lily came up with the cool idea of representing them with flags on a line of bunting.
Lily wanted to show off her 'crinkly' hair, from sleeping with her plaits in.
Now here's a thing. Nanny Rachel bought Daddy this nano brick guitar model for Christmas. Lily and I tried to put it together yesterday, but gave up because it was so hard. Lily had another go this morning on her own. You can see who the weakest link was...
This morning we set off on an adventure to the end of the pier.
We all boarded the bullet train together. Seen here moving at actual speed.
If you can click on this picture to make it bigger, it's worth it. This is a panoramic view from the Lifeboat station at the end of Southend pier.
Here's a great one of Mummy and Lily.
And here's one of Lily with... gah.
Mummy liked the wooden Lifeboat building where where sweethearts had scratched their names into the planks.
Here's another arty shot, this time of a wall that forms part of the new pier venue and cafe.
We decided to walk back. Because it's a fantastic stroll along the longest pier in England. And because frankly, it's quicker than the train.
'Are we there yet?'
The great thing about the walk is that it works up an appetite. And Rossi's is just a stone's throw away.
