Holiday in Northumberland

Last week we had a fab little holiday in Northumberland. We went to Haggerston Castle near Berwick-upon-Tweed. We stayed in a static-caravan and had some great days out...
On a train...

At the beach...
We also went to Pot-a-Doodle-do a farm where you can paint your own plate.
We had naps in the afternoon and the big news is Anwen in now in a BIG bed!

We are now back from our hols and looking forward to:
Anwen's Birthday tomorrow (1st May) and party (on Saturday)
Bec's sister Nel coming back from Madagascar (14th May)
My final piece of work being handed in (14th May)
Finishing College (8th June)
Moving house (11/12th June)
Jem & Louise's Wedding (23 June) Phil's Ordination (1st July) to which you are welcome to come. Its a cross between a graduation (long, dull and pompous) and a wedding (exciting and joyous) we are going out for a meal afterward so if you want to come to that send us an email so we can book you a seat.
It's gonna be a busy summer!!!

Easter = Time Away

We have had a great Easter time. We spent Easter weekend with with my parents in Kelbrook. Anwen had great fun with her cousins and enjoyed meeting new baby Evie (congrats Catherine + Ben she's gorgeous).

The following week we spent a couple of days with friends in Beverley. (Thanks for having us Adam, Emma and Ellie) We had a lovely time. Went to the beach and then to a farm which Anwen and Ellie loved...
From Beverley we went on to York. Visited some nurseries for Anwen and had our first meal in what will be our new house (we had a picnic on the floor in what will be our living room). We also spent some time with friends Jem and Louise (thanks for having us) a lazy day in York and went to church in Acomb(the church where I will be curate) got introduced to the congregation...Anwen waved and shouted "Hiya' a few times! Here's Wenie waiting for her drink in a cafe in Acomb:

A 'Dooter', Time in the Garden, and Baking!

The weather was great today so we all spent the afternoon in the garden. In the background you can see the scooter (Anwen calls them dooters) which we got on freecycle .
We saw a couple of scooters at the skip the other day and tried to take them but were told off (apparantly your not allowed to take things people are throwing away). Anwen was VERY upset when the man removed them from our car so we put a WANTED post on freecycle and a lady just down the road had one she was getting rid off so now Anwen has a dooter!
After tea we all did some baking...
