last chance for sun and sand


After Venice, we headed to the other side of the Mediterranian, and spent a weekend in Barcelona. Palm trees, sand, sea and lots of Gaudi architecture.
Unfortunately we fell down on the picture taking here. Actually we haven't taken a picture for the last week....you'll have to use your imagination!

Waffels, friets, moules and more

We`ve arrived in Belgium.  Between the Mac and the Flemish, we can`t quite figure out how to post photos yet, but stay tuned - we head back to London tomorrow. Travelling at baby-speed means more relaxed schedules and lots of naps, so we`re feeling the jet lag has passed. We`re staying at a sweet little B&B not far from the centre of things and have walked all over the city. We were warned the country wasn`t terribly baby-friendly, but are relieved to find people are very welcoming of Clare - in fact, the cafe-owners are holding her right now, teaching her to make a latte, I think. Bruges is absolutely beautiful.  Everywhere you turn is post-card worthy, old and clean.  Cobbles everywhere have made us happy with choice of backpack carrier over stroller! We have eaten waffles and fries (friets) everyday so far. Last night`s dinner was gourmet - Flemmish stew with applesauce and -you guessed it - friets.  We even toured the friets museum (just after the choco...

Driving adventures, or how did we get here????

We are in North Wales - what a beautiful part of the world! Beth has been a trooper with driving - the "other side of the road" hasn't been nearly as scary as the roundabouts, and now we are into Single Track Road driving. Our first encounter with another vehicle where one of us had to decide who was going to back up to the nearest layby started with us backing up...but we were going so slowly that after about 5 minutes the other car honked at us, waved and started backing up instead.  And didn't look terribly impressed with Katherine blew a kiss as a thank-you... Our scariest adventure in driving was in Conwy, an old, old, walled town near Anglesey.  Very beautiful.  However...GPS, or SatNavs are limited in their ability to get us where we want to go.  We were looking for a parking lot near Marine Drive and ended up going through a teeny-tiny gate (lucky Beth had found the button to close in the side mirrors), into what looked like a pedestrian only section wher...

Windsor Castle - a great place for children!

Image
After a day spent visiting some of Katherine's family in Oxford, today - Auntie Anne's last full day in England with us - was spent at Windsor Castle.  We started with our favourite breakfast - proper porridge at Pret a Manger.  It is the best porridge ever.  We suspect it is made with larger amounts of cream and butter, but porridge is healthy, right?  Even if you top it with jam and honey?  It's porridge! The mark on Miss R's eye is from an unfortunate Bouncy Castle accident yesterday... Seriously, if you are ever in England, find a Pret a Manger in the morning and try the "Proper Porridge". Then we spent 2 hours in the rain standing in line to go and see the castle. Well, we took turns going and shopping a bit while someone held our place in "the queue".  Rhubarb and custard, apple and blackberry and pear drop sweeties were bought, clothes for baby Camreigh and Neal's Yard products are all in our bags now. Then we went...
