UK Trip

We headed back to England for three weeks, Ed had to return after only one due to lack of A/L and Arth and I toured around the country visiting friends and family.  He experienced planes, buses, trains, taxis, saw all his many family relatives, great grandparents, cousins, was hugged, kissed and adored like mad and caught his first cold. 

It was wonderful to see everyone and show off the little one.

October 2012 - Spring

Well, it is certainly a different kind of adventure having little Arthur! As he rapidly approaches three months, life has begun to settle down, we understand his wants and rhythms a little better and are able to get out and about a little more.

One of the wonderful things about living in Eastbourne is having the beach in front of us and the hills behind so it is easy to go for good walks without having to travel first in the car wasting valuable time in-between feeds!  I am sure I am known by most of the fellow eastbourne dog walkers as the lady with the baby boy that doesn't like to sleep and the beautiful vizsla having met them all on my twice daily 'get Arthur to sleep' walks around the bays!

Spring has arrived and the sun has slowly started to appear. We have had a few BBQs, we had one for Ed's 35th (crikey!) birthday which was great.
