3rd one for Mabel, this time just me and BB as Alice was visiting Lola. Lovely ice-cream, to keep BB occupied while I have the traditional WoodFest Real Ale.

Scrambled egg, toast and smoked salmon for breakfast. Hmm..smoked salmon already, not sure what that means.

Off to Duxford, via Uncle Mike’s. Mabel loves airplanes. This is not induced; she just likes helicopters, tractors, diggers, trains, lorries…and airplanes. Mabel is a girl 🙂

First hangar is Concord.  There are a few seats, with signs on the seats that say Do Not Sit On The Seats. Mabel throws sheets off seat, sits on seats, buckles up and awaits take-off. Stern look from staff.

New tee shirt, a Spitfire.

After Duxford to Bob and Breeda’s for combined birthday cake. Said goodbye to Lorna, back to Tazzie.

Evening, more cake….

Mabel did come Friday and Saturday, second year.

Jacob wanted Croquet party at Mallards, that’s what he got….oh and a tank cake of course!

Caitlin and Sion have moved to Llangollen.

The 3 Bears visit Ibiza from 1-10 Aug. Temp very high 30+ every day.

Stayed in one of the new pods. Not too large, but fine for us. Right next to the pool so that made life easy since we spent a lot of time in there.

This was a really relaxing holiday, BB got in to a great routine. Run in the morning for me or Alice. Coffee at Jaunita’s. Pool time, then sleep around 11.00 for a couple of hours. 12.00 beer o’clock. Out for lunch, back for more pool time, sleep. Wine o’clock, then evening splash time until bed.

Couple of lunches at our favourite restaurant, Can Xarc, and Mable even learnt to drive.

Mabel learnt to swim unassisted with arm bands. See video below.

Mabel came down with chicken pox, not too bad, but not quite herself. Has learnt a new word though…pox!
