A magical May.

A clever girl has been doing very well at school. She even featured in the newsletter and on Instagram.

Lily gets a cuddle with Marley.

And makes sure Miggsy doesn't feel left out.

It's Taco Tuesday in the Snug. On a Friday.

Aunty Sarah took Lily to a musical.

Through Lily's love of Stranger Things, she wanted to have a go at the boys' favourite game...

Lily was a wizard. Mummy was a Paladin. And between them, they took down a Thessalhydra!

Polyhedral dice. That's how she rolls, yo.

For a musical homework, Lily had to cover a song. I reckon she nailed it.

The loveliest girls in the world.

Nice weather meant lunch in the garden.

Though you can't beat a chip butty indoors.

We visited Nanny and Grandad in Lingwood.

Lily went out to get us a Chinese takeaway. Apparently there was a problem with the prawn crackers.

We went round a couple of Norfolk garden centres.

Notice, Mummy is holding a little bay tree. That was a present from Daddy as part of...

...our thirteenth anniversary.

As a very special dessert, mummy and Lily made chocolate brownies, just like the ones we served at our wedding years ago. But this time, Lily and Sammy cat joined us as cake toppers.

Lily invited some friends over.

Looks like everybody had a good time.

Check her out, chillin' in the swing chair.

We extended our anniversary with a lovely family Sunday lunch at the local Italian restaurant.

There's those lovely girls again.

We took a football over to the park for the first time in a while. She's still got it (but so has Daddy).

Nanny Rachel came to join us. Mummy made a special breakfast which might give a little clue as to where we were all heading.

Yes, Southend Airport. Uh, well, that was where we set off from.

To get to Disneyland Paris.

Here's a little girl with a unique set of ears made specially for the occasion (by her amazing Mummy, of course).

We wanted to see the fireworks. But what we didn't know was that at this time of year, they don't start until 11pm.

We waited and waited. Sure enough...

Was it worth the wait? Look at that face.

We hit the rides. Here you can see two different reactions to Hyperspace Mountain.

We wandered around the parks.

And found some lovely places for photo opportunities.

We took the tram tour around the Hollywood film set with the special effects show.

And this particular Stitch had to come and live with us.

Cute and fluffy.

Someone's taking the Mickey.

Speaking of which.

We saw the fab parade.

Then these cool guys did the Star Tours ride.

Mummy and Lily braved Crush's Coaster twice.

And just for reference, here's how our 'little' girl has grown since our last visit.
