Staffordshire

Lou and I spent New Year's eve with Auntie Julie, Uncle Felix, Ingrid and Arthur and we had a FAB time in the countryside; well apart from Louis falling face down in a large puddle of muddy water, from where I had to rescue him, then carry a screaming child down the lane back home to get him straight into a hot bath bless him! Auntie Julie made us all a hot chocolate afterwards and it was much better.

On the first day of the year, we took part in the village tradition - the Goose Walk. We all met in front of the pub at 11am and walked 3 miles down some country lanes. The kids did it on their bikes and were amazing! Thank you again Jules & Felix for the wonderful and chilled way we welcomed 2012 in your lovely home. XOXO.
