London

Last weekend we took Jack to London to see his relatives down there. That was a fun journey (not). He screamed and screamed at the last part but we got there in the end. It was a tiring day as we travelled down on the Saturday and went back on the Sunday - top marks to Robb and Emma though for a great BBQ.
Also many thanks to the gifts people bought him - it was very kind. On the Sunday we went via Ealing to visit Jack's Great Great Grandma. She was very pleased to see him and had bought him a nice soft teddy bear. I have uploaded a few photos from his visit to Ealing - I didn't have my camera out at the BBQ unfortunately. The journey back was a bit of a nightmare - we both were knackered and Jack cried lots and cried for 2 hours non-stop when we got home so he does not like long journeys in the car right now so I think we won't be doing any for a while (apart fron our trip to Scotland in a weeks time - but he doesn't know about this yet so don't tell him !). Anyway before I go I should have moan because I like moaning .... My TV that has supposedly been fixed has not been fixed at all ... It STILL does what it used to do before and they said that they had replaced the TUBE this time ! Anyway I rang Toshiba to complain about this supposedly "authorised" Toshiba repair company that have been "fixing" it and I said I wanted a different company to fix it now. I also made the point of telling them, that I think this other comapny is ripping them off ... So maybe it will get fixed this time - as they say.... THIRD time lucky !

Happy Fathers Day

My first fathers Day... We went out for a meal at the Devonshire Arms which was very nice. Jack slept all the way in the car right through the meal and back home again - despite it being very noisy in the restaurant - I don't know how they do it ! we have his Grandparents over at the moment from Spain and hey are chuffed to bits to see him. Next weekend he's going to see his Great Grandmother in London and lots of other relatives....

Count Jackula

We took Jack to Whitby today. I figured if he's to become a Goth then he might as well start now. We ate at the marvellous White Horse and Griffin pub - a firm favourite of ours - the food was as good as ever and so was the service. We also took him to see his Great Great Auntie Dids - she was well-pleased to see him and she is as fit and as adventurous as ever. There are a few snaps I took in Jacks Place. Also I have tried some close up shots using my macro function on my camera but I'm not sure he's ready for that yet as he looks like as though one looks when you look into the back of a spoon ! Whitby's great - not because I'm an old goth and they have conventions each year (which I might add I have never been to!) But it has so much charisma. I think we might go there for a weekend soon .... BTW have I mentioned yet he's starting to smile ? He started about a week ago - he doesn't do it often but he's doing it more and more and sometimes can do it on request ....
