sunshine, picnics and falling leaves

I have much better pictures on my camera from today but alas the computer isnt quite fixed yet and so this will have to do.

Poor Amelie is very choked up at the minute, her voice is all crackly and hoarse. Despite this we didnt want to stay inside (especially with 27 degree heat) so we headed to Earlswood Common for a picnic and to feed the ducks. Picnic was yum but the ducks werent interested in our bread.

Amelie correctly identified an acorn today whilst out and later told Nana on the phone that she had shouted quack (which she indeed had). Clever wee monkey! Earlier today she picked up the fisherprice phone and said 'hello? Hello its granny. Careful. Ok. Byee'. Brilliant!
