our house picnic

mummy and daddy had planned for us to have a BBQ picnic today at carsington water with momma's friends nina (and tillybee), sally, sophie and morag but it started to rain so we couldn't go. instead we all had a picnic in our house ('cept soph couldn't make it as sniper bob got ill). i met morag's new children, courtney lee who is 3 and lucy who is 18 months. they played with me lots.

after dinner, the rain stopped so we went for another walk on the canal. this time i was pushed, not carried. morag and courtney lee and lucy did not come walkies cos they had to go and collect morag's new little boy, lewis, from school. every time momma turned to talk to her friends, she crashed my pram and i woke up. i wish daddy had driven; mummy's are better at carrying!

canal walk to cromford

today momma and daddy took smelmo dog and gandy dog and i for a walk along the canal. we walked (erm, i was carried) from ambergate to cromford which is about 6 miles there and back. it was sooo pretty.

it was really sunny so i had to wear my hat, 'cept it kept falling off and it turned out my mum needed it more than i; 'cos she got really red. doesn't she look silly? get your own hat momma!

when we reached high peak junction, we all stopped for a rest and an ice cream. i was allowed a taste of daddy's strawberry cornetto. i like strawberry cornetto! momma did not share.

on the way back we saw a mummy duck with a whole eight ducklings. they were only a few days old and very cute. they were hiding in the reeds so as you could hardly see and when mother duck said 'quack quack quack', they all came back - not like in that horrid song my mum sings to me!

can you see the baby duckings?
