life with nelly: and the world gets smaller............

exhausted after the whole festive weeks - it is quite a relief to be back to normal - getting up, no lights, no pine needles, no leftovers etc etc...just us -

My great friend G and her son James came to stay which was fab and Nelly loved having them here - she played and ran around after him all day long! on waking she wanted to know where James was! some great photos below ...

this week is back to normal - groups etc and N's first session at nursery ! it was only for an hour and we are back there this Friday for a second two hour session ..she should be fine and the carers (?) are lovely , when we were there yesterday there only seemed to be about 8 children in the Benjamin Bunnies room!

and so the world is small... or is it that i am getting older ( answers on the comments section! ) ...since we moved here we have been amazed by the number of coincidences re people knowing people etc living in the area that we have since met, been introduced to or in the case of today have totally randomly bumped into.

I decided that as a novice AGa owner I should go along to one of those Demonstrations entitled A Day in the Life of an Aga ... with Marcia Poole! - It was good! Marcia was as you would imagine - a former Home Economics teacher who now roams the country teaching people how to get the best out of in excess of £5000 worth of cooker! Having inherited an Aga I was as I said before a tad sceptical but have been convinced...anyway after the demo chatting with another woman we both realised we had moved from London in the last month or so...but not only that we had also lived two streets away from each other ! how spooky is that! numbers were swapped and a date to meet is to be arranged....
