The South-East, the North-West and Wales

This October half term has involved a lot of travelling. We travelled to London and stayed with Bev and Caleb for the first weekend. We were delighted to be able to celebrate with Pete and Josie on their wedding day. Daddy was an usher and Zachary had a great time running up and down, following the bigger children.

We then travelled to the opposite end of the country, to Lancashire, to visit Swith's parents and some of his siblings.

We enjoyed a visit to a Victorian underground reservoir which is soon to close to build houses.

It was pretty busy, as everyone rushed in to see what it was like

Zachary tried out his new wellington boots and splash suit from Grandma Jeanette and Grandad Harry. He loved walking along, holding hands with Grandad Harry and standing in the middle of a very large puddle, kicking his feet to make a big splash.

A fun but slow walk

We all had a lovely time visiting Zachary's Great Aunt Eileen and Great Uncle Mike. He was given a lovely gift of a new outfit and some soft crocheted blankets.

Then after a long delay-ridden trip, we finally made it to Cardiff to visit friends, party and see fireworks.
