Mum had Friday off to make up for working the following weekend. She and Nik went shopping in Chester ... geez, it has been a long time since Mum has been to Chester, and she had forgotten how good it was!! They had a good morning shopping, and Mum even got Dad's Christmas present - how organised is that!!!
Nik gave Mum a whole lot of baby clothes - it was like all her Christmases had come at once! Apparently I now have more outfits than the 2 of them put together. I will be the best dressed kid in Penketh!!
Today was a lovely sunny day (and a little chilly, but winter is only around the corner now), so Mum and Dad decided to head out for a drive. They were going to go to the tea rooms at the Cat and Fiddle (near Buxton), but decided to detour and go to Tatton Park. Golly, was it big!! It had a big old mansion on it, although that seemed closed for winter. The gardens were huge, and on their walk they spotted some reindeer! Some had really big antlers - Dad was going to put his body on the line for me in case they came charging at Mum - must protect Tigger at all costs! Oh, and his lovely wife as well! They also had lunch and afternoon tea there in the cafe. Mum surprised Dad and they shared a slice of lemon cake rather than a lovely rich chocolate cake. Mmmm, getting chocolate withdrawals already!
When they got home, they decided to tackle the shelves in the bedroom - they weren't quite a solid as expected, and they have now ripped a whole lot of new plaster off the wall - opps ... thinking now that bookshelves might be a better option, and will need to learn how to re-plaster where it has come off the wall. Hmmm ...
Anyway, to cheer themselves up, off to watch a nice light-hearted comedy!
