Pig in a box

My sister in law took my niece and nephew present shopping for my brother's 40th birthday. My nephew informed her that Daddy wouldn't like any of the things in the shop and what he would really like was a toy. So she took them to a charity shop, my nephew chose some plastic gardening tools and my niece this. 2 months later and she is still rather taken with it.

Brother and family drove to Dad's and we went out for a nice lunch in a local pub. I was happy to see that F very quickly got over his shyness and we were soon playing with his cars. While out for lunch I took him out to play in the garden so my brother and sister in law could eat while it was still hot.

I lovely going out for a pub lunch. It feels ever so British.

We then drove to my brother's and I got a crash course in looking after M. Including a demonstration of nap time routine with a baby doll while M looked on with bemusement. It's so good to see F and M.
