Wow time really does fly! its been a lot longer than i realised since i last posted.
Its been a great couple of month's and I've been able to see quite a bit of pickle what with half term hols and all the bank holiday's. I'm on the train heading back home after dropping pickle back to Sheffield, I got to pick her up on my birthday last Wednesday and we've had a terrific time,

We went straight from the train stn to uncle Richie's it was a beautiful sunny day and he had set up the bouncy castle and paddling pool, Annabell was there and so was Gracie they splashed and bounced around all afternoon, next morning we set off for the coast and picked auntie Sarah and Jacob up on the way it was another hot sunny day Sarah bought Issy and Jake an inflatable dolphins each to play in the pool with, a couple of hours after we got there Richie turned up with Belle it was a great day. on the way home Sarah said pickle could come to her house early and help set every thing up for a BBQ and sleep over at Jake's, Issy was excited and talked about it till she fell asleep, I was woken up at 5am by pickle tugging my arm asking if it was time to go and help Sarah, I laughed and pulled her into my bed and we both went back to sleep, after we woke and had breakfast i dropped pickle off she had a great time with Jake and his friends and enjoyed the sleep over, Think auntie Sarah was worn out by the next morning lol.

After i picked Issy up we popped round to nanny for a bit then headed of to Epsom Derby just the 2 of us it was another lovely hot day and we got on a train with loads of people heading there to, when we got there pickle wanted to go straight to the fun fair no surprise there! we went on loads of rides including the ghost train witch Issy insisted she wanted to go on, she told me after that it was a bit to spooky lol, we ate ice creams and candy floss, and watched the horses race it was great just me and pickle.

Had a terrific time with pickle this weekend, The sun was shinning and the journey to london was the quickest so far,when we got to nanny's pickle wanted to change her clothes and go to feed the rabbits and the guinipig and play with floyd and meet maddy floyds sister who is staying with nanny for a while, pickle gave nanny a big hug and a kiss and told her how much she loves and misses her and nanny took her upstairs to get changed, pickle came into the garden and got the water bottles to fill the we got elli the rabbit out and she held and stroked her for a while then nanny told pickle Jacob was comming for a sleep over pickle was so excited she loves spending time with jacob, i went down to tesco to get tea and when i got back jacob was there, then karen and dick popped in with annabelle, pickle looked so happy.
The next morning pickle jacob nanny and i when to chessington world of adventures it was the firs day of the season it was open and the kids have been asking for weeks when they could go, it was another sunny day and although the park was busy it wasn't to busy that we had to wait ages to go on rides, we went to see some of the animals firs, we went in the monkey house where the cutest little monkes came right up to us to see if we had food for them then we saw the penguins and went in to sea life issy and jake put there fingers in thewater and the little shrimps came and cleaned them, tickleing there fingers while they did, then we went on the sky train and saw the lions, gorillas tigers and many others before having dinner, after dinner we went in the haunted house jacob had always refused to go in there before but today pickle and jacob both wanted to go in, and appart from one moment when jacob looked through a little dark window and a goblin jumped up witch mad him jump out of his skin they both thought it was fun. pickle asked me if i could win her a hello kitty toy by nocking down cans with a bean bag i managed to do it after five go's then nanny had a go and did it first time winning a meer cat for jake i dont think ill ever hear the end of that. it was a great day, and we are all looking forward to many more trips there this summer...
