Playing out at Markeaton Park

Morning in Belper

Running away form a nappy change.We spent the morning in Belper. We had breakfast and played at Gemma's then went to look at some antique shops, while Gem and Tim went to a baby sale. We then met up for lunch, where Rosie made a massive mess with spaghetti and pulled weird faces with the ice-cream.

Cycling Championships

We went up to Manchester for the British Cycling Championships as Gareth loves cycling. I actually really enjoyed the day, despite it being a bit long. It's amazing how fast they go. Some of the events were a bit mad - especially the Kieren, where they follow a motorbike which slowly ramps up their speed, then they set off on a race. My pictures are a bit blurred as they went so fast - it was really hard to get any good shots.
I didn't realise how close Manchester was to Derby. We had a lovely drive through the Peaks although it was a bit dark on the way back.

Derbyshire Day

Today we went to Derbyshire Day at Carsington Water. It turned out to be a lovely Autumn day. There were different stalls of local food and produce. Gem and I had a go at the well dressing but the ladies were a bit bossy and did let us know that we weren't really doing it right! We watched the Morris dancers then went on a walk. Gareth drove home as a practise - I hope that he can take his test soon as he is good. A good morning out.

Playing at Rosie's house

Rosie and I had a great couple of afternoons today and yesterday playing while Gem was out. Today she was feeding anything that had a mouth as you can see from the pictures. She also tried to get the cat chatting on my mobile. Hours of entertainment!
