'Arf-term acroBATics


So it's half term this week and we're keeping ourselves amused. (All right, I was utterly exhausted this afternoon after the zoo and we're only on day 2.)

Still the Pygmy hippos seem to be having a nice time in the tigers' old area - the tigers having moved to the swanky new tiger territory. 

And here's a lovely shot of a cold London day spent mingling with the meerkats. Actually it was quite sunny but it's a nice gloomy effect when you take a photo through a sheet of Perspex. 


Now I thought I'd done well and I'd have two exhausted kids when we got home (walk,bus, tube, more walking) but I opened the front door and Will says 'can we play rugby?' And Sofia says 'I want to carve the pumpkin!'

 Feeling revived now after wine and cheese courtesy of Jules. British Museum tomorrow in search of a real mummy or two. They are going to be so disappointed cos they're expecting something out of Scooby Doo...

Sofia's first horse ride


Sofia's first horse ride, originally uploaded by Racmol.

...in the wilds of North Kensington, just 10 minutes drive from home. She's super keen to sign up for lessons - parents just a little concerned about the inevitable upgrade from hamster to pony...

In other news, Will now does Brazilian Ju Jitsu on Saturday mornings and kicks a rugby ball around the park with Dad in the afternoons. Home for apple pie afterwards today - thank you Mr Sainsbury.
