Bonkers for conkers

While out last week, we collected a pocketful of conkers. However, they seem a bit small so perhaps they're chestnuts, although I'm not going to try eating them just in case.

Charlie is sometimes a little confused between conkers. acorns, pine-cones and pumpkins.

Winter is coming

Clocks are changing this weekend which should mean an extra hour in bed for most people. For us, it will probably mean getting up at 5.45 a.m. on Sunday.

Charlie seems to be getting used to the dark mornings and evenings (I'm not!) and enjoys wearing his new hat, scarf & gloves.

Ironbridge

I took Charlie for a day out to Ironbridge last week. After traveling through end to end roadworks for most of the journey, we had a super day with lovely weather. Charlie especially enjoyed the science museum "Enginuity" and seemed to be genuinely excited about going to the Iron bridge itself. Maybe it was the giant lollipop that made his day. I think we'll go back again next year now that I have an annual entry passport for the 10 museums.

Revival of Blog

I'm thinking about restarting my blogging activity shortly. I've just changed mobile phone operator which should give me the opportunity to do some inexpensive blogging on-the-go. Is there anyone out there reading?

I have a new video of Chasbo year 2 which I will try to upload soon.

Video of first steps

A video of Charlie's first day of walking, with a few stumbles along the way.

Video compilation of 0-12 Months

I've just finished trawling through 10 hours (120GB) of digital video footage of Charlie's 1st year and managed to condense it all in to this fast-moving 8 minute compilation! I hope you enjoy watching it.

I'm sure his hair-style wasn't as bad in reality as it looks on film!
