Bloody hell the suns out!
So finally the sun came out after what seems like the wettest drought ever and along with what seemed like half of St Albans we headed off to the splash zone in Verulamium park. Despite being very excited these places aren’t as much fun without a friend to play with and as Maddie got wetter…

First match of the season
Been a busy summer down at Vicarage Road so we rocked up to see how new manager Zola and his team would play. Scraped a 1-0 win in extra time so kudos to Maddie for keeping still and not complaining in what was a pretty boring game. Couple of highlights Vydra looks good upfront and…

6th birthday city slickers
Celebrating her birthday for the second time – this time actually on her birthday Maddie and her friend Anabel went horse (pony) riding at the local stables.

Sandbanks
A day at the beach – wow how hot has it been for this time of the year. Drove down to the south coast to one of the most expensive real estate areas in the country – Sandbanks. Seemed nice enough but sooooo expensive, not exactly value for money but great if you like living…

Long Hot Easter
The Easter weekend has been so hot, had a great day today playing with Ryan and Darcy. Turned into a spontaneous bar-b-que which was great.

Remember, remember…
the 5th of November, or actually this year the 6th. For that was the date of the annual St Albans fireworks display. Maddies friend Anabel and her Dad Kevin accompanied us with Mette crying off (can’t believe she doesn’t like fireworks!). Happily Maddie seems to like fireworks as much as me and thanks to kevin…
