Dinovember 2014. Roooaaarrrrrrr!

The Dinos are back!!!  

Dinovember arrived like a hurricane this year.  Every night in November our plastic dinosaurs escape from their toy box and get up to all sorts of mischief while we are asleep, much to the delight of my five year old.

Here are a few bits of evidence we managed to capture, including a bonfire on Bonfire night and the kidnapping of Peppa Pig. 

A Victorian Christmas

Advent tomorrow!  

We kick-started our countdown to Christmas with a trip to Audley End House where they were holding a Victorian Christmas.  

I love these children.

To say the free carousel was a hit with the kiddies is rather an understatement.

We watched a superb falconry display, Victorian style.

And Mummy got picked to fly a Harris Hawk.  Yay!

Victorian Christmas carols.  

And Punch and Judy.

Please pray for the repose of the soul of my lovely Aunty Rose who died in the early hours of this morning.

A Spectacular November Day

Today Papa was on a Safety Boat Training course and Ballet Girl was in London visiting HMS St. Albans.  Amazing!

So the rest of us mooched about in the morning and spent the afternoon in the beautiful November sunshine at an English Heritage site.

We spotted a few animals in the trees including a panda...

...monkey...

...koala...

...cheetah...

 ...and a couple of sloths...

This week is National Tree Week.  We love trees.

And we also love leaf fights.

The spotting of a HUGE puddle.

Taking it in turns to wear Mummy's welly boots.

Home as the sun went down in time to make popcorn and dried cranberry Christmas decorations.  This is the life!
