Happy New Year

Here we are again, ready to carry on from where we left things in 2006. We all had a wonderful Christmas in the UK with the family and Ollie thoroughly enjoyed seeing Grandma & Grandpa again and of course meeting his other Aunt, Uncle and cousins for the first time. We were extremely lucky with the travelling and were very kindly upgraded to Business Class in both directions...if only Ollie knew what that really means to us Cattle Class travellers!

Whilst in England Ollie went for his first taste of fish and chips in Padstow to Rick Steins fish and chip shop, which he thoroughly enjoyed. We also took him to a Donkey Sanctuary where he had a run-in with a goat who stole and ate his carrot (which was actually meant for the goat, but never mind). We did a few walks around the golf course, well we walked he sat on Daddy's shoulders. We also went to Mount Edgecombe where Ollie got the chance to feed lots of ducks some bread. I say got the chance because he never actually fed any ducks, just himself!

Ollie had a wonderful time with his cousins and really enjoyed the extra attention. He picked up lots of new words while we were away and an obsession with lights?!

We arrived home on New Year's Eve and for Ollie it was just like Christmas all over again when he came in and saw his bedroom with all his toys in it.
