From Wednesday to Wallmead

On my day off on Wednesday morning I popped into work to drop in some keys, then into Bakers the butchers in Nailsea on my way home. They are part butchers and part abattoirs, their meat is always excellent. I got a brisket of beef, some chicken fillets and a brace of partridges. It was the first time I'd cooked partridge and I used this Anthony Worral Thompson menu.
We went to see Marie Antoinette at the Curzon mother and baby showing. Not crazy about the film - it was beautifully shot but lacked accuracy and didn't tell a very convincing story.

Here are some pictures from Thursday when Becky and Helen went shopping with Nanna in Street.


And here are pictures from the weekend in Wallmead. Look at Emma standing by herself holding onto the chair!


And here she is eating some meringue.




She kept moving around in her cot last night, ending up at some very odd angles. She had Helen up a few times in the night too. Helen was glad of a lie in whilst mum and I administered a breakfast of porridge and mango.


After breakfast, Dad and I tuned in the new car stereos mum and dad have had fitted. We did this on top of a hill on the farm where a trench is being dug for a new water supply to Haygrove. There were some interesting fossils in the stone that had been exposed.

Rosie and Jane dropped by in the late afternoon and Rosie helped give Emma a bath.

Here are some pictures of Rosie playing in the kitchen.
