Just thought I would show you a picture from our day out yesterday. We decided to go out for a walk (or wobble in my case, good job I remembered to take my stick lol) taking Charlie dog, and as always the gas cooker and this weekend Nige decided we were having bacon butties...yummy...
We ended up at Manifold Valley which is a really beautiful place to walk, so whilst Nige was cooking the bacon me, the girlies and Charl went for a walk (yes I was the one being dragged along by an over excited greyhound, who was trying to get the footie off the girls lol...oh I so nearly ended up on my arse a few times lol

Well after our walk we had our butties and they were really yummy, then the ice-cream man turned up so we had a 99' lol...after another little walk (just enough to make it so I can't move much today lol) we decided to drive home through a pretty little village called Wetton...Nige decided to pull over to take some pics of the swallows, whilst he was doing that Katie squealed, making us all jump. This is what she had seen and boy was he gorgeous and really sweet making funny snorty noises it was like he was purring lol...
