I'm back!


Here he is- a bit bedraggled and very wet, but ok. Thanks to St Anthony for finding our little dog. He wasn't gone long, but it was raining very heavily and he hates getting wet, so when we hadn't responded to my and Roo's impassioned calls, i began to picture all kinds of worst-case scenarios. And i realised i'd really miss him if he wasn't around.
(By the way, Maria, he and your dog share their name!)

'I can cook!' Here's Roo making another lovely meal from CBeebies' great show, I Can Cook. So far he has made Savoury Bites, Easy Peasy Pizza and today, Katy's Lasagne. All very tayshty and eaten eagerly -even the green bits. I never thought I'd hear him say, 'mmm, chives!' before popping the offending green (and suspiciously oniony) morsel into his mouth.
Quite remarkable.
