Special Announcement

Hi everyone.

Now earlier I said i had some special news. Some of you may remember that a few years ago, mum and dad and dad and their friends did a 100 mile walk for charity to help a very special little girl.

Well the fools have all decided to do another one to help lots of special little girls and boys.

As you know I was in hospital for two months after i was born, and the only reason i am here now is because of the hard work and dedication of the nurses and doctors at the Kings Mill Neo-Natal Intensive Care Unit.

The Fellspotters are going to be doing a walk in April to help raise money for this special care unit. They are planning to walk the Yorkshire Three Peaks. The Yorkshire Three Peaks Walk is a very demanding but rewarding walk, which takes in the summits of Pen-y-ghent (694 metres - 2,276 feet), Whernside (736 metres - 2,415 feet) and Ingleborough (723 metres 2,372 feet) all in one circular route. The walk is 24.5 miles (39.2km) long and takes in over 5,000 feet (1,600 metres) of climbing.

Training is already well under way, and as you can see Uncle Kimbo is really taxing the fools. This is a shot that was taken at Stoney Middleton in Derbyshire, just hours before the river broke!!! Serious stuff.

I know that there are lots of demands on people to help charity work out but i think you will all agree this is one situation where you can definately see the benefits of your support.

So if anyone would like to sponsor either mum and dad, your support will be gratefully appreciated. Just drop them a text or email.

I personally will not be doing the walk as i am not stupid!! I will be running riot with Grandad GT, and Grandma and Grandad!

Thank you so much for whatever support you can give.

Don't look down Auntie Ellen!!!

In february, i went somewhere very special.

Me, Grandad GT, Mum and Dad went down to Southampton where Uncle Ian lives and had a weekend with him.

On the saturday we went into Sounthampton. Now Uncle Ian lives near the New Forrest which is across the water. So we got a boat, which was really great but really chilly.

And then on the Sunday we went to nearby Portsmouth as Uncle Ian wanted to show us the Spinnaker Tower.

Soaring up to 170m, the Spinnaker Tower is a new landmark for Portsmouth and the south coast of England.
Visible from miles around the Spinnaker Tower has already changed the skyline forever. It is the UK’s tallest publicly-accessible building outside London, offering thousands of visitors stunning views for its three decks at 100, 105 and 110m.

What is really good though is that the tower has a glass floor!!. You have to take your shoes and socks off but you can crawl around it for ages.

And i wasn't scared by it at all. However i wouldn't advise Auntie Ellen to have a go. Its a long way down!!!!

Happy Birthday to you!

As well as it being grandma and grumpdad's wedding anniversary, 5th March is also special because it is my cousin Millie's birthday.

And this year she had a big party with lots of frinds that i was asked to. Now it was a Princess themed party, so there were lots of pretty dresses, mostly pink. Those of you who know me really well will realise pink and frilly dresses are not my thing.

However Grandma made me this really pretty party dress. Dad wanted me to go in stripy socks and take Jess so i could be Alice (except Jessie never grins) but mum would not let him.

Anyway there was a magician and face painting and we played party games.

All the little girls got their faces painted and mum did not want me to miss out so i got my face painted like a cat.

Finally it was time to sing happy birthday to Millie and to have some cake.

'Ey up me duck'

That is what they actually do say in Derbyshire!!!

Anyway this is me and mum in Bakewell. We all went for a lovely day out.

I am now getting really good at standing and walking with a little help from people.

Now these ducks are all really fat, which is probably why they are not in the pictures.

They eat so much, even more than me and dad, that they just cant be bothered to come.

Frodo will be sooooooooo jealous!

Mind you he is off having a great time with mum and dad walking in the countryside.


So whilst they were out i went to stop with Auntie Sue and Rosie, and their dog Bee.
And as you can see she is just as stupid as my dog.

Now i have some important information about all this so i will fill you all in later.

Och aye the noo!

This year Dad cooked a very special Burns Night Supper. He invited Uncle Sneag and Auntie Lynn, and Uncle Graham and Auntie Ellen.

Now Scottsih wear was essential so here are me and dad in our kilts. Nice legs dad!!

And this is me and mum. Mum kind of got into the swing of it and this is me wearing Uncle Graham's stupid hat. Unfortunately, despite me eating everything that is put before me, I missed out on the haggis!!

Hard at Work

Hi everyone.

I'm really sorry that i have not been in touch for a while. Things here have been so hectic and i have hardly had a spare minute.

Anyway i am back and i have lots to show you about what i have been doing since Christmas.

Now i'm sure you all know how much i am enjoying going to nursery every Friday. I have a great time and i have learnt so many new things.

And to get Dad in the swing of things, here i am at home sat at my new desk. I have my protective smock on just in case I go to wild but this is really cool.

Fortunately I take after my dad's artistic side rather than mums.
