Rolling stock

And so the scene is set....

Baby on playmat. Toys on playmat, behind head of baby. Mother in position to coax baby with promise of sherbet dip-dab if she rolls over to get a toy.

Baby is nearly there, but gesticulates that a sherbet dip-dab won't cut the mustard. It's a pony or nothing. Bess: 'And what's with the upside down book - blimey mum, shape up!'

Uncle Fun

'Yeah, just hanging out with Uncle Bart, wearing a jaunty neckerchief, thinking about punching the air in delight 'cos it's all good...

.....hah look - there we go - yeah c'mon woahhh'

Happy

Foot and mouth

Another skill acquired and practiced at every available opportunity. Now, no sock is safe.

Face warp

A 'fun' game with a chrome lamp shade

Off camera

As Dad smiles for the camera at Paul Williams' wedding, Bess spots a tower of profiteroles about to tumble. Looks like she may have hidden two in her cheeks!

Little Gem

Some pics of Bess in the morning.

Wrapping up warm

Another outing in Aunty Doreen's hand knitted winter warmers. Check out that bobble!

On the pista

Ding a ling, ding a ling, morning vicar!

Who writes this stuff?

Bess: 'I do of course...'

N15 to the A11

The North London branch of the BFC (Baby Fan Club) moves to sunnier climes tomorrow. Just enough time to squeeze in a photo before Pickfords come to take them away.

Bess slips Chris a quid to keep hush. We're not quite sure what about though; communication still being a little limited.

Way hoop you now loike it up tha eese anglia.
