More of a 'Picture of Last Week'...

Autumn and I, whist out and about, discovered where a certain member of this forum may reside...

It's a very posh place Neil Plenty of room for a good few cars there

Ha yes! Well deduced Neil We ended up there for a break whilst Autumn's mum did what she had to do in Northampton General. Parking is a right 'mare there so we scooted off to somewhere rather more convivial for a little play and coffee... Note that the coffee was only for me. No way would I give a lively two-year-old anything containing caffeine Although the results might be a little 'interesting' if I did

Lots of places now offer a "Babychino" which is milk with a good layer of froth on top - you could try Autumn on one of those perhaps.
(My boys have tried it, a resounding NOPE! from both though!)

I'd have thought a straightforward decaf coffee would do, no?

Autumn tried one of those in my favourite café while back Matt. Her reaction was the same as your boys! Her tipple of choice is a carton of apple juice and me, like every other parent on this planet, curse paper straws... They last microseconds in the hands of a two-year-old

Very possibly Mick. I recon she might very well enjoy it Next time she's with me and mum is not looking I'll find out Robyn always loved a bottle of milky tea as a baby and that likely had quite a caffeine hit in it - no wonder she never slept and was as lively as her own daughter

What terrible parents we were - that both my girls have grown up to be amazingly wonderful and well-adjusted adults is quite remarkable really, considering they have me for a dad

No surprise to me knowing what I know!!

All the time we've spent travelling around the country it's likely you know me as well as anyone! I'm never going to fall out with you - you know too much

[MattBLancs]

Ah yes, paper straws - great for chewing, bend to a kink.

Mind haven't discovered they could be unrolled into a flat piece, yet!

I must make sure that 'feature' remains well hidden from Autumn Thanks for the heads-up Matt

This is how you deal with a soggy paper straw

A bit late in the day as this was snapped at sunrise this morning...

Taken during a particularly lovely run looking along Riverside Meadow and one of our very effective flood defences

Our river is still well above its normal level. No great surprise really as it carries the entire flow of clean, treated water from the big sewage works that serves Milton Keynes and overflows from the three of the big balancing lakes in Milton Keynes...

This car has stood so long the grass has grown all over it...

No need to wash it, just apply fertiliser and moss-killer once a year

Spotted at one of our local garden centres today...

Trying to be all arty with the rising sun and trees this morning during my run...

I was still quite dark when I took this and the foreground lighting is courtesy of my running light...
