A favourite activity of half term was playing our new board game, Twilight Imperium. Zachary watched us play now and again, but didn't quite have the attention span of the first game - a 12 hour epic!

Zachary enjoyed visiting his Great Grandad in his nursing home, who was very pleased to see him. He also got a lot of attention from the nurses.

We were fortunate enough to be able to attend two different firework displays over half term. The first was in Leyland, at St Andrew's church and also involved eating burgers and treacle toffee (though obviously not for Zachary!). Zachary was wrapped up very warm in his new all-in-one suit (a gift from Great Grandad) and had a wonderful time watching the flickering flames of the bonfire. Just as he was beginning to drift off to sleep, the fireworks began with a loud bang which made him jump and start screaming. A few seconds later however, he was gazing at the bright lights of the display and decided he liked it after all.

The second display was the annual Caerphilly fireworks with the beautiful backdrop of the floodlit Caerphilly Castle, to celebrate the birthdays of Mummy and Auntie Beckrum. Unfortunately the weather was terrible, but we huddled under umbrellas and Zachary had his own waterproof to keep him dry. The fireworks were fantastic as always and Zachary loved them although he was soon overwhelmed and fell fast asleep despite the bright lights and loud bangs. He awoke once we were back in the dry and had fun being passed around for cuddles.
