North by Northwest

Hello

We have been busy bees since I wrote last week. I have helped Mama move our things up to Manchester, to our new home in the North. I even tried to climb into the removal van, into the front and the back! My efforts were not in vain as I did help Mama and Nanna move a bedstead, I was even huffing and puffing with my exertions. Our new home in "The Cube", is perfect for us. I have my own bedroom with all my books on display and my lovely toy chest which is just big enough for me to sit in. My little taxi takes pride of place in the living room too. We have been exploring the city on the buses and have discovered how to get to my nursery and Mama's university. I start nursery on 5th September and bought my very first little school bag today in preparation. I have been pottering around the house with it on and discovering how the zip works. I Can't wait for Papa's visit next week to show him round our new home. Lots of love xxxxxx ps more updates once we have moved in this weekend - yippee!

The Great Outdoors

Hello everyone

Life is ticking along well in Shrewsbury. The great event this week is that I saw my beautiful cousin Ava before she returned to Italy with Tia Faye and Tio Gian. We had so much fun playing in their van which Faye and Gian had driven all the way from Italy! Needless to say I was in the driving seat and just loved the big steering wheel and the hazard lights! Mama took me to the beautiful National Trust home, Attingham Park, this week, I played in the sand pit, played with the giant chess pieces and loved seeing the cows in the field. My favourite game was chasing Mama round the big oak trees, oh, and I also tried to eat a ladybird, it was just to pretty and climbed onto my hand so I thought I would give it a go. Yummie. My other big "first" is that I can now say "Dadda", "Nanna" and "Ba Ba" which means "bunny" and I say something which sounds like "all gone" but I just need to work on that pronunciation a bit more! Nanna took me on a Rupert Bear toy car at the supermarket the other day, I loved it, I actually loved it more when it was stationary. As you can Rupert Bear made a cuddly passenger. I miss Dadda lots and can't wait until he visits us in Manchester, there are so many new things I want to show him. Love you lots Dadda, Mama and Champ xxxxxxx

Vrooom, vroom




Hello everyone

We have been back 2 weeks now and I am readjusting remarkably quickly! I have been up to Manchester with Mama 3 times this week, flat-hunting, and I am so happy that we have now found somewhere called "The Cube" on the outskirts of the city centre. I am so pleased that we will be living there as there is already a big teddy bear on my bed - I love him! The flat is on the 3rd floor, no balconies and no monkeys, so we will be safe. It is only a short bus ride into the city, Mama's university and most importantly, my nursery. I can't wait. As Nanny has broken ribs she is mostly bedbound, so luckly for me and Mama, Mama is insured on Nanny's mini - oooh, I love it! My favourite sound is "broom, broom" and I love getting in the driving seat and pressing all the buttons, levers and especially the hazard lights! Shhh, don't tell Nanny!

I'm so excited as Mama told me that Papa is visiting in only a few weeks, it will be so much fun to explore Manchester with him and take him to my new nursery. I love you Daddy and can't wait to be on your shoulders again! xxxxxxxxxx
