Boys Toys

On Sunday, Grandad treated us all to a day out. Grandad, Pappy and Mr Bee are all big fans of model railways, and of course, Dan and I are big in to cars, so the Hornby show being held at the Heritage Motor Centre was the absolute perfect way to spend a Sunday.

Ooosh, two of my utter favourite cars! 

It is safe to say that Louie was overwhelmed with everything. Though we have visited before (within Louie's memory), he wanted to look at EVERYTHING, darting around from this to that, up and down. His little face just kept lighting up and there were times where he just seemed completely speechless.

A fantastic day had by all of us!

Auto Jumble

Just like last year, we spent our Bank Holiday Monday at our local Vintage Car Rally. A perfect way to spend a day for our little car loving family.

I fell in love with the Isetta, Range Rover and the Porsche 911 Targa, some of which we have seen in previous years, though no amount of eyelash fluttering managed to pursuade him to bring one home for me...

Vintage Car Rally

A bank holiday ramble around our local vintage car show. We weren't put off by the rain and neither were the couple of hundred gorgeous cars and owners that we saw. 

This Week

A quiet week welcoming Autumn
Painting, a trip to Calke on crutches, yummy warm hot chocolate, vintage car rally, a small bee wanting to bake a caterpillar cake all by himself (which he practically did!), eating wonderful food all week and making delicious recipes new and old, homemade spicy vegetable soup and homemade bread.
