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
