The kids

You know, as the days go by, the more I look at Lucy, the more I think she looks like Emily at that age. Take a look…
Here’s Emily in 2006 at one day old…

and here’s Lucy in 2010 at one day old…….

Apart from Lucy having more hair, they are so identical in my eyes. 
One thing that binds all the kids though, is that Emily Hannah and Lucy are so loving and cuddly.

& our beloved Hannah. She is going to be such a heartbreaker with her blonde hair and big blue eyes.

The new addition to the Longworth’s

Hi everyone. Sharon and I are proud to tell you all that Lucy Jane Longworth arrived in the world yesterday, 15 November 2010.  She weighed 7lb 8oz.  Sharon and Lucy are both healthy and back home with us.

Emily’s Ballet Debut

Emily had her debut ballet performance at a packed out Wycombe Swan Theatre tonight and made me and Sharon very proud. She wasn’t nervous and danced her little ballet shoes off…

…now wasn’t allowed to take pictures, but I took this one of her before the show…

Off to France (part 2)

Well, we didn’t really do as much travelling as we usually get up to whilst on holiday. That was mainly due to Sharon being 31 weeks pregnant, but also partly because the area around St Jean De Mont was stunning, made moreso by the fantastic weather.

All the beaches down the Vendee region are fantastic. They were sandy and clean, with the occasional rockpools to keep the girls occupied with their favourite ‘Peppa Pig’ moment

I thought I’d add this picture of the front of the Siblu parc….can’t think why, but it seemed a good idea…..

Sharon, the big kid, having a cuddle on Pirate Night Emily had such a late night on her birthday… We went to a castle in Noirmoutier. Its on an island that you can reach by either a road accessible during low tide, or an impressive bridge akin to the one at Dartford.

Emily and Hannah both enjoy their dancing and showing off..

…and the swimming.. And so back to Blighty…the weather may not be up to much, but it’s my home..bless.

Off to France

Hi all!

Well we finally made it over to France. We’re staying at another Siblu resort, but a bit further south than our normal Brittany haunts around Pont Avon and Quimper. We opted for Le Bois Dormant in the Vendee area because we thought the further south you go, the hotter it’ll be. And I got to say, it was the right option! The weather is wonderfully sunny and warm/hot, beautiful long empty sandy beaches, and the resort is, well, typically Siblu………clean, organised and no bling in sight.

Anyway, the girls are all loving it………here they are………

Ruislip Lido July 2010

We went to Ruislip Lido on 11 July.  It surprised me because its only about 40 minutes away at a nice steady drive.  We love it there because its got everything; free parking, a beautiful picnic area, steam train, lovely lake, sanded beach, ducks, play park…ice cream stall…just a great day out…

Aldenham park

On 4 July 2010, we decided to revisit Aldenham Park near Elstree, London. It was nice to revisit and let the kids see the farm animals. Emily and Hannah loved it. We started with a picnic, fed the ducks, went to see the animals then a play in the park…..
