I do like to be beside the seaside!
Yesterday we went to visit Nanny and Grandad by the sea. We went for a very nice lunch, then sailed Grandad's boat on the lagoon.
Three generations of Black boys playing with their toys!

Happy Days!
Well, this half-term we've been to Waddesdon Manor
to meet up with Sacha, Peter, Clare, and Alice. Here are Tabby-Kat and Alice snoozing in the shade.
Clare and Tabby
Tabby, Phoebe and Guy getting ready for yet another picnic!

This doesn't look like much, but this is a strawberry milkshake made with fresh strawberries that were picked from the fields behind the cafe an hour or two ago, and it's the best and most delicious cold drink on a hot day in the whole, wide world!

Here's the sand pit and play area at Blackberry Farm.

As you can imagine the Country Cafe at Blackberry (Pick your own) Farm gets pretty busy over half term.

And, just for a change from endless picnics, we bought a cucumber and picked some strawberries at Blackberry Farm, and made strawberry ice-cream and cucumber sandwiches.
And Barbara came to tea!
