Imogen's Place (click pics to enlarge)
Preparing for the project, Imogen gave a hand in the painting.
Hello all,
yes it's been ages. Feel really bad, but just been so busy over the summer. What spare time on the computer has been spent by Lindsey doing the new website. This is live but needs some tweaks.
Well, over the summer we have been away a few times in the caravan. We had two whole weeks away in it. Our first week was to Haven at Haggerston Castle in Northumberland. This was the busy, rowdy and late night and rip off for tourist beer week. You know Imogen loves the cabaret and dancing. Followed by the 2p slotties. Me and Linz went to Haggerston years ago in the days when we were living o'ert brush.
Our 2nd week was a much quieter, relaxed week staying at a fab site in Melrose. Gibson Park (caravan club park for those finding this blog by typing it in). This park is a stunner and we're definitely going back next year. It's just at the bottom of Melrose high street and at the foot of The Eildon hills. We were quite lazy that week, getting up when we wanted and not venturing too far.
Imogen is now in her 2nd year at school and seems to be doing well. She had an excellent end of year result at the end of last term and we hope she will continue to do well. Her writing and reading is really very good.
Linz will do a post soon of her eating and health stuff. Generally she is eating pretty well. We went to see the specialist at Alder Hey a few weeks ago but nothing different spoken about. However, we feel we should keep going as we don't want to be struck of their list. She hasn't been on her oxygen for a while but then she has been well and it'll be the next few cold months that will likely send some bugs her way. So I shan't be too surprised if she uses some over the winter.
You will have seen the wendy house pics. Now, please don't think she's a spoilt child. It's just that when we were away, she found a fortress at a garden centre and loved it. Well she wanted one and it was 500 finest English. Her request for one was refused... That was until we thought, well she has got more money in her account than us and if she wants one... This is basically from money that has been given to her over the years by friends, Aunties etc. So we said if she wanted she could buy it herself. And she did. However, it cost us a few bob re landscaping the bottom of the garden so don't think we're too tight. Plus the house was an end of season sale. Anyway it's just finished and as yet the novelty has not worn off.
So there you have it. 4 months worth. See ya in Feb. Baz
This was our holiday to Scotland. Cousin Andrew and his wife Suzanne came to visit.
The fortress gave Imogen the idea of having one at home. "Do ya think we're made o' money" was our reply.
