Postcard from Keldy

Katie had a wonderful holiday last week in a log cabin in Keldy Forest, North Yorkshire. She had her own special bed (blown up by daddy) and she discovered lots of new things - such as ice cream


fish & chips takeaway (from the Magpie Cafe in Whitby)


and hot tubs.

After spending the week with an eight year old, she has also discovered some new phrases. So now when we ask her to do something she replies "I'm watching the telly", and if we ask her to stop doing something she replies "I'm not doing anything" (both with a slightly whiney accent).

But we also found out that she loves to walk. Until now whenever we go out anywhere we always take the buggy, so why would a two mile walk in the woods be any different. Well Katie wanted to walk and walk she did, which meant while Katie happily plodded along we ended up carrying the buggy over the mud. It was hard work but she had a great time.


Katie also has two new loves in her life - puddles

and the beach.

Thank you to the Elliotts for a lovely holiday.
