Baby Bear

Out with the boys!

Visited Caitlin, Sion and Ava on weekend 16/17th. Had a lovely time as usual, arrived at Caitlin’s around 10.30 (early start!). Popped over to local garden centre for lunch, then back to hotel. Alice and Mabel had a swim, I forgot my swimming stuff. First time I have seen Mabel in a poll, she is doing amazingly well mostly thanks to Alice teaching her in the college pool.

 

Baby bear is growing….

Back from a week in GC, same place, which owe have decided is getting a tad sad so we will be giving it a break. Ironing now that the staff actually recognise us now.

We could’d get a 2 bed and since Lola was coming with us we decided to push the boat out and book a suite, complete with hot-tub and sauna.

Good news that Alice ran for 3 days plus a Dune walk. Heart seems to be totally fixed, fantastico.

and relax…

I managed 1 day 4 lap, then ran first mile next day in 6.45, fastest in years though quickly followed by a calf muscle pull and end of my running for a while. Lesson somewhere there.

Weather wasn’t great, lots of cloud. Mabel had a cold, with cough which woke her up regularly through the night. Kept us awake worrying, but did at least we could catch up during the day. I caught the cold. So far not sounding great, but it was overall relaxing.

Lola seemed to spend most of the time on her phone, in her room, instagramming from various locations….her large bedroom, large bathroom, hot-tub, sauna (whilst off!)…modern teenagerdom? shame that they can’t just enjoy things without having the need to tell and show everybody.

Anyway we did have a moment….though brief
