A pudding and a meadow

Today we got to meet The Little Yorkshire Pudding for the first time. We got up extra early (but still managed a lie-in) and arrived while he was fast asleep. Aunty Miaow and Uncle Tuc didn't get a lot of sleep last night but they certainly didn't look like they had just had a newborn baby, had a chaotic few days and had no sleep. Little Yorkshire Pudding was adorable and wearing a baby grow we had bought. I was allowed to pick him up and wake him and we sat snuggling for a while until he tried to find food and I passed him to his MumMiaow who duly fed him whilst he had hiccups! Then another cuddle until I passed him back to DadTuc who had to change him. Back to Mum for more feed and then Huffle got a cuddle.

Introducing the lovely Little Yorkshire Pudding

UncleTucs Mum arrived. She is lovely and we had a good chat when the Midwife came. They have a newly qualified midwife who stays with them for ages which is nice as having a new baby is quite a shock to the system.

We stayed for a cup of tea, some flapjack, chats, cuddles and then left them to it. Hopefully we get to see them again before we go. We drove to a pub and had dinner. Smallest was given a present and we decided to let him open it as customs may not have been impressed with a wrapped present from someone else that we didn't really know what was it in. He got a remote controlled mini. He was very impressed.

More unofficial birthday and an 8oz steak (Grandad's hero of the day)

Small and I got to have Scampi which we can't get in Canada so that was another tick of our boxes. Smallest had an 8oz steak which he thoroughly enjoyed. Huffle had a pie. It was a nice relaxing lunch and we drove on to find a park. Unfortunately as we arrived at the park it started to rain very heavily. We stayed in the car until it cleared up and then explored the park.

A bit of Xylophoning, Ziplining, Swinging and a Wooden Squirrel

Climbing, Swinging and a Living Willow Tunnel

Small went on the slide and got his bum wet. We all went on the zip wire and Smallest went on the swing. It started raining again so we dived for the car and went in search of MrsElderflowerMeadows new house. She moved the day we arrived so we hadn't been there yet. We found it, hugged lots, had a cup of tea and waited for the kids to come home from school.

Oh my, how they have grown! All the kids got on really well and played well. Just like they always did. Of course MissElderflowerMeadow was too old to play now but she drew me a picture and told us all about 1Direction and other bands she liked to listen to. Teenagers eh! We had some lovely cream cakes too.

The ElderflowerMeadow family and Small and Smallest

The kids left to go to MrElderflowermeadows and Small and Smallest played on their tablet while we waited for MrsEM to come home. We chatted loads and it was really hard to leave her again. Hate goodbyes!!!!!

We drove back to the barn where the boys had a bit of tea in front of the TV and Huffle and I tried to work out the logistics of tomorrows schedule.
