Walking!!

We have a walker or at least when he can be bothered, it's still quicker to crawl. He took about 4 steps when we were still on the Island the morning of coming home and then yesterday (14/7/12) he walked the length of the living room. He can only do it if he starts off holding our hand though he can't do it from sitting.

We went to the Isle of Wight last week for my birthday. It may have been really wet but I had a great time.

We went on Friday, the journey wasn't too bad but it took us a while finding the cottage which was only about half hour away from the ferry. The cottage was lovely with ducks, couts and hens living outside and a pond. This unfortunately meant we had to take Buddy out on the lead all the time otherwise he would've had the feast of a lifetime. Also the old man kept coming round to the side of the cottage for the eggs etc  which Buddy really didn't like.

On Monday Tony took me to Southampton to see Avenue Q at the Mayflower. Before the show he took me to the Vestry which is a restaurant in the old church opposite the Mayflower. It was a lovely meal and the show was fantastic very much an adult show.

Tuesday was my birthday and I got very spoilt. Tony had already given my my cuttlebug and the theatre trip but he also got me a couple of books, some more crafting stuff and took me to Godshill for cream teas and let me choose some posh chocolate from the chocolate factory I got Rose flavoured and a white one with marshmallows and other bits on it.

Jonathan fed the ducks by hand he didn't even winge when the ducks pecked at his hand

We also went to Robin hill with both boys they seemed to have lots of fun.

Me and Debbie took the boys to aquababies. They had lots of fun and Jonathan kept passing the ball to Riley but Riley wanted to keep hold of it. 

The journey home was horrible, from door to door it took 8 hours. This was thanks to a lot of flooding and roads being closed we kept having to change which directing we were going in.

RIP

Found out today that Paul Birch died yesterday from his Cancer. It's a sad day for the Island and Trinity Theatre
