Bouncy bouncy

Leon's sister was having a 30th birthday party today. We were allowed to stop in and try it out before the party started. Featuring The Beatles, Slash, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson and Ricky Martin it was with stellar company that our two monkeys got to grips with their first bouncy castle experience. Bess has noted her interest for one for her birthday. Repeatedly.

Young Musician of the Year

Over the top















Meet Bess as Captain Edmund Blackadder and James as Private Baldrick in Blackadder Goes Forth.















Bess as Captain Blackadder,
"Your brain, for example, is so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry            cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn't be enough inside to          cover a small water biscuit."















"We've been sitting here since Christmas 1914, during which millions          of men have died, and we've advanced no further than an asthmatic ant          with some heavy shopping."
