Making friends around the camp fire
ast weekend was Mummy’s Birthday. We went to the Dean Field Studies centre, where some of Mummy’s friends were staying.
There were 48 of us! The youngest baby was 6 weeks old and the oldest boy was 14. We played football, had a barbecue, played hide and seek and had a campfire. The grown ups sat around and talked and we got to play as much as we wanted.
There was lots of food and a great big fire to keep us warm. I made some special new friends and am going to write to some of them because they live a long way away.
At the end of the evening I swung on a gate; it was lots of fun and when we came home I fell asleep right away.
Mummy took presents for all the children and I gave them out like Father Christmas. I liked doing that and watching everyone open their present. Mummy said the best way she could celebrate her Birthday was to give presents to everyone else. She wrapped 28 of them in newspaper and we burned the paper on our big fire!

Verona,
It was lovely meeting you and your family, and the books you gave out have been a fantastic hit. We have had to go to the library to get some more in the red banana series as they are just right for Alec.

Hello Claire,
Thank you for leaving me a comment. I love reading my comments. I’m glad Alec is enjoying his book. I love books so it’s nice to pass on ones I no longer need. I hope you enjoyed the weekend!

Hi Sarah,
Thank you for coming to visit my blog. I’m really glad Alice loves her clock as it was one of my favourite things as a baby.
I hope you all have a lovely summer,
