100 miles and hour....

....is the speed that life is flying past at the moment.  I seem to have no time to sit down and write my blog - or do much else for that matter.  It is also the speed that Jamie is as he charges through life!  It was 5.30am the other morning when he awoke and he was non stop til I dropped him off at nursery 2 and a half hours later.  I was glad to get to work for a rest.

Life with Jamie is a machine gun of questions.  'What you doing mummy?' 'What's that mummy?' 'Why you doing that mummy?'  interspersed with a series of random comments such as 'I'm gonna grow a beard'.

He has started counting things by himself - as well as along with Jake and the Neverland Pirates and their gold doubloons.  This leads to questions such as 'Why are there Two?'  This was about why we had 2 bottles of bubble bath!

Last week we all had the week off together, so we planned something for every day of the week. On the Tuesday we went to the National Railway Museum at York http://www.nrm.org.uk/ which is free to get in, but £9 to park the car.  It was well worth it and daddy and Jamie certainly had a brilliant day.  Then in the evening we drove over to Scarborough and stayed in a Travel Lodge for £29.  Mummy and daddy had previously stayed in the hotel when it was a lot grander, but that must have been about 18 years ago!!  The sun shone in Scarborough long enough for us to have a morning on the beach and an afternoon in Peasholme Park where daddy re-lived some of his childhood on the little train and the Dragon Boats!   On the Thursday I took Jamie and daddy over to Newark by the riverside where there is a lovely park built around huge sand pits.  Again, we were very lucky as the sun shone all morning. 

On Friday Jamie went to nursery and mummy and daddy got a bit of time for themselves - so they cleaned out the garage!!

The week ended with a trip to a couple of Summer fairs on the Saturday, and then seeing daddy 'in concert' on the Lincoln Brayford on the Sunday afternoon.  Kerry and the girls came along, as did Tilly and her mum, as well as numerous other people.  A couple more weeks and we hope to be back at the seaside!!
