I just couldn't resist buying a new scrapkit yesterday - it's called 'Pink Zephyr' and is by Irene Alexeeva - I love it!  I spent most of yesterday playing with the kit and here are the latest results using the pics I took of Cala on holiday.




I also decided to make a special layout for Mum which I hope I can print up and send to her.


It's been extremely hot here the last couple of days; in the high 80s, and no breeze.  I'm not good in the heat - I just get lethargic and grumpy, lol.  As it's a bit cooler today (we had rain overnight), we have decided to go strawberry picking - it's probably the last chance this season and I'm hoping the rain didn't ruin what is left to pick.  Luke eats as many as he picks so it's good job they don't weigh you on the way in and out again!  Have a feeling it'll be Eton Mess for pudding later!  Ciao for now!

Hola! from Lanzarote

It´s our last full day (boo-hoo), and I´ve just managed to commandeer Stacey´s PC while she´s at work, and Kevin´s playing Padel Tennis.  We´ve had an absolutely lovely time even though the weather has been decidedly temperamental - always very warm, but quite a lot of cloudy skies.  We will be checking out of our hotel tomorrow morning and going to Stacey´s apartment to spend the rest of the day until our flight at 8.10pm (Monday) - which gives us most of the day together.  Am dreading saying goodbye - Mum´s already had a teary moment this morning, which she´d kept quiet about till just now!

Here´s a picture of Cala after her first taste of baby rice! 



We decided to try first stage weaning as she´s been getting more and more whingey between bottle feeds and had started waking during the night again.  She took to the spoon practically straight away and seems to really enjoy the whole feeding experience.  Stacey and I spent yesterday preparing ice cube trays full of pureed pototo, cauliflower, carrot, apple and pear so she can try out new flavours over the coming weeks.

I don´t have any other photos yet, as I´m using Stacey´s computer and not sure where she saves her pics to - will post some others when I get back home.  Just about to have some lunch with Kevin and Mum - Cala is at her other nanny´s as Stacey had to go to work this morning and Kevin was playing Padel Tennis so his Mum had to babysit - she´s not seen much of her while Mum and I have been here so I can´t complain. lol!
Well, my ´sandwich mixto´ (ham and cheese toastie) is ready so I´ll say ciao for now and love to you all.
