Valentine’s Trip to Berrington Park
February 16th, 2010 by Nigel
On Valentine’s Day we took a trip into Herefordshire to visit a National Trust property that was new to us. It was one of ‘Capability’ Brown’s final landscapes, Berrington Park. It was our first visit to a National Trust property this year, we used our membership cards which were kindly renewed by Mr & Mrs Crawford Senior, as we made good use of it last year and hope to...
Jasmine’s New Bed

Last night Jasmine spent her first night in her new ‘big girls bed’. It isn’t really new, it’s her cotbed converted into the bed part.
Over the last few weeks we’ve been talking to her about the change into a new bed with increasing frequency building up to last night. I’ve also made a point when we’ve visited friends houses to show her their beds and helped...

Jasmine also watched in amazement as I rolled 2 big balls of snow to use when building her...
