From Burton to Ipstones (via Cheddleton)

We've now settled into our new house and are all loving it! Still some decorating to do but Kat's bedroom is all done and looking very lovely indeedy... will put some photos on here soon. Also need to take some photos of the cows we now have in the field surrounding our garden. They're great fun to watch and like to stick their heads over the wall. Proud Mum is delighted with the new pad as she can watch the sunset from the comfort of the settee. Here we are enjoying the golden hour.

Here are Kat and Jodie having fun at the local pub where they've already got to know Kat's regular order of "a glass of milk with a straw, please bartender".

We recently had a fantastic day out at Alton Towers - there was so much to see and do.

Kat's not looking too sure about the giant bear on this one, but we were amazed she went anywhere near him at all.

Katya has settled into her new nursery well. She'll be starting school in September (which is opposite our house) with 10 of her friends from nursery (practically the whole class). We've already visited the school for an afternoon of activities and it all seemed very nice. Kat's looking forward to it, especially the school uniform.
