- a visit from Baba
- a ride on the London eye
- Lena riding on Daddy’s head
- Mitchell’s 1st birthday
- Fresh produce from the allotment
- A fun trip to Littlehampton beach
- Finding a massive spider in the house
- Andrea’s friend Jane visiting
- Eric, Anne and Darcy’s pizza party
- A trip to Odds Farm
- A visit to the Natural History Museum in Tring
- Playing in the park!

Lena and Greg went to Dad’s Camp on Cookham Dean old cricket common. It was a fun weekend with about 40 dads and a hundred or so kids. We turned up, pitched our tent, and made sure the kids had a great afternoon with a big walk and treasure hunt. Once we had fed the kids and put them to sleep, then there was a couple of hours for us Dads to have fun.
Thanks to Porteur, Mike and Darryl for organising a great event and getting everyone together.
