Half term break part 2.

After spending time with my family we travelled over to Ipswich to spend sometime with Lauren's family. We were able to stay in Chateau de Nannie which is always a pleasure (especially as she is an amazing cook!).

We always have a wonderful time round Nannie Annie's and this time was no different. Plus she always bakes me an amazing carrot cake, YUM!


We thought about what we could do with all the kiddies and decided on going for a walk through the Heath in Kesgrave. It was a nice little walk that took us to a little co-op type shop where we bought them all a drink (apart from Jude who chose sweetie burgers) and I found a little bargain. They have a toy shop upstairs that sold Warhammer stuff!! Result! So I went upstairs to take a ganders. Have you ever been in a shop looking at the products/stock when you notice one is priced cheaper than the other? Well that's what happened. I found a box of little night goblins priced at £12 instead of £18!! So I took them up to the till and they were good enough to let me have them at the discounted rate!


Whilst on our way home, not only was I carrying Jude AND Rose, but we also picked up a dog too!! We had a couple come up to us with a little scottie dog and said that they thought it belonged to a couple down the hill in the direction we were walking. It was a sweet little thing, still not sweet enough to influence me to get one mind. Fortunately we found the owners who were thankful that we'd returned their lil pooch.

We ended up spending Thursday night at David and Beth's where we played Just Dance on the Wii. Can I just say... One of the simplist, most fun games I have ever played. Saying that, you don't half sweat whilst playing it though! I was offered a controller by one of the kids and found myself dancing to some iggy pop song that Jude likes (He's 5). I have to admit that I did get a bit excited when I was cycling though the playlist and found MC Hammers "U can't touch this". It turns out.... When playing against me... No one could ;-)


On Saturday night we finished the week off in style and went to a sacred music festival and were roped in to singing with my Mum's choir. Needless to say it was a good night out and my Sis and 2nd Cousin Jade sang a fab duet and defo rocked the best act of the night!

It was a great end to a fantastic week. Just wish we'd have avoided all the illness :-(
