The friends at play - and growing up.

This has been a good rest day for me and a good day for Ecky.
She has so looked forward to meeting Emily and Gemma again - the daughters of our niece.
They played together so happily and so well.
I enjoyed cups of tea and chat in the garden with Carla.


Play Dough - making revolting food!

Ecky had rotten blueberry flavoured spaghetti with red slime sauce!



Later they sat down on the blanket for some lunch and to watch a bit of TV.


During the afternoon we popped into Tescos to see if they had some shoes like Emily was wearing.
Of course - it is almost August so the range of summer shoes is now small!
We bought something a bit different.


The shoes are white, with lilac trimming and velcro straps.
We also bought the dress because it was in the half price sale. It looks a bit small already for our nine year old!
What the picture is not showing is the black layer under the grey skirt which is longer than the grey skirt.


I assume the black part was caught up in the leggings.
Then Ecky decided to try on the little black dress bought at the boot sale yesterday.



Doesn't she look grown up?
I think she realises that it might be better for her with something underneath - a white blouse with a small collar would look good - or maybe a red one.
Emily, our great niece is a ballerina. Her ballet lessons have gone very well and she has shone and improved so much and is now in an advanced class. Recently she had some studio photos done, which I saw on the computer screen and photographed many of the images.




So a perfect peaceful day in Crawley.
Ashley has just returned from a busy day in London which sounds to have been full of interest - never heard of the Petrie Museum! Quite bizarre, he says.
Now scroll down to see the other blog posting I have done today with three generations of family together in Crystal Palace.
