Scribbling on the slabs

In honour of the Camper coming back from our mechanic and the fact the sun is beaming down I did a little art work in the garden before Lily got home.

down on the farm

Work today took us to Cambridge and a farm. Nothing beats a big old tractor (or brand new one for that matter!)

Play cars daddy

When I was leaving for work at just after 6am yesterday, Lily broke my heart by asking for me to play cars with her. I had no time to spare and she looked so sad as I left. Today I'm in the office so I have plenty of time to play.

FIRE!

You can tell when a building site is nearly finished when they clear all the important building site stuff out. Anyone needing a fire extinguisher had a long walk to the front of the site to collect one of these!

Behind the scenes at the paralympics

This was supposed to be a brilliant photo of Tower Bridge with the Paralympics symbol suspended in the middle! I was working nearby and thought I'd divert on the way back to get a snap. Turns out they hung the symbol the other way round to the five rings so i got a great shot of the frame work supporting it instead!

The joy of building

I had to drop some tools and bits back round my parents today, Lily tagged along for the ride and had a great time reading stories and playing with the bucket of Duplo that my parents bought. I have no idea what this monster is, but its 12 wheel drive with wild animals crawling over it!

Little park

We decided to buy Lily a Little Tikes play house for her birthday in a few weeks time. The problem with kids garden toys is they get left on the lawn and its soon dead underneath. What she needed was her own area that the house and some other bigt toys could be put. A 3m length of timber, some weed matting and 1600 litres of bark chips later and we turned this corner of the garden into a Lily park. Even with nothing in it she was running round and leaping off the decking into it. It makes the aching muscles the morning after all worthwhile!
