Hannah Parker's Website (of sorts - bit of a mish mash really)

Another photo of Lucy and her new friend at the NDS day out

And..

Lucy can do 5 monkey bars - she can get from one side to the other - she is mega-chuffed with herself!

We're pretty impressed too.

Bit of an HP festival this weekend - saw "Order of The phoenix" at the cinema yesterday. Eddie went off to get us a copy of "Deathly Hallows" each at 8am this morning and then we finished listening to Stephen Fry reading Half Blood Prince (we've been listening to the whole series again since Christmas).

Poor old Lucy is being very patient with us - BUT she did persuade the babysitter to let her stay up til 10pm last night.

We've just got back from a flying visit up North - went up on Friday and came back yesterday (in time for Lucy to go to Jensen's party!)

Photo's to follow - but we spent a couple of hours in Alnwick Garden playing with the water features and had a picnic in Harthope Valley AND saw an adder....

I was in the dining room doing some pre-work busy stuff this morning. Lucy was in the living room watching Lazy Town and eating breakfast and the cats were out frollicking in the garden. Then I started to hear the sound of one of those squeaky pet toys in the garden. I looked out and good ole Sweep seems to have found a toy to play with - but then on closer inspection I noticed the squeaky toy was huge and green and could move under its own steam. I screamed (of course) and ran out and dragged Sweep back into the house. He'd found an enormous frog and started chasing it round the garden - and the frog sounded remarkably strange.

I encouraged the poor frog into a rosemary bush where I thought it might be safe and came to work. Got my fingers crossed that I don't have disembowelled frog on my decking when I get home.

Wimbledon final weekend - just about to go and watch the Men's final whilst doing a CBeebies magazine with Lucy. Weather is nice and the paddling pool is out. Eddie's cleaning his bike.

I took my new scoot for a test drive to my new job at Lanstone Tech Park - Good Fun :)

And we've been swimming at the Pyramids too - Lucy had to give her new goggles and float a test out.

Fiddling with the new blog style when the opportunity arises too.

Can I post pictures...?
