Visiting Thomas the tank engine

By popular request, a vist to see Thomas and his friends at the Watercress Line in Alton. Despite the rain, we had a good time and just seeing Nicholas's face when we first saw the trains was worth the wet day out.

 

The lads go to The Imperial War Museum in London

After reading about this museum in a book, Liam had asked me if we could visit it when we were in England. So me and the boys went up to London on the train and spent the day at the Imperial War Museum. The Spitfire had figured in the book too and was viewed from several angels. Nicholas seemed to enjoy the visit and managed not to get lost.

Easter in England with family

We spent Easter in England this year, staying at Penny's in Elstead. We had the chance to see all our relatives during the week we were there, helped by a big Easter lunch at Mum and Ross's house. Mike came down too and Ross played guitar with a friend of his for us all. We also drove over to Farnham to see Zoe's house, which was in the middle of a big kitchen renovation. I had chance to meet up with some old friends, having a beer with Brian one evening and meeting Gary Cox who I haven't seen for years.

Neela goes for ear piercing

After discussing it for a while, Neela decided she wanted to get her ears pierced. So off we went to see if we could arrange it at a nearby shopping center. We found a place and she was very brave. She selected the studs and then after the setup, click, and it was all done. A very proud girl left the shop.

Christmas 2017

Christmas 2017 spent at home at Lilldalsvägen 22. A fun day with presents and Hannah and Emma came round for a full Christmas dinner with turkey and all the trimmings.

Christmas gingerbread house production 2017

Time to start our gingerbread house said Neela. Well Nicholas was into helping too, and with a little help from Dad, we made a plan. The house was designed by Neela. It was then just to cut up the stencils, roll out the dough, cut, bake and stick together, Easy!

Quince jelly 2017

This was the result from 5 quinces. Cooked to quince jelly and filled in 3 jars. The kids love it on bread and that makes it all worth while, not that its difficult. I like it too!

Preparing for Halloween

Neela and Nicholas try to help with the pumpkin carving, with some success and a little help from Dad. End result, not bad.
