Saturday's visit to the library

onWayToLibrary.JPG

So we're off to the library. Bradley's first time, and it took ages to persuade him in the first place, then we had an argument coming out of the car.
Then, two seconds after this picture, as he was running, whoomp, he fell.
Nasty one too. Hands and knees grazed, tears. Screams.

I wasn't sure if we'd stay in the library, Bradley's really grumpy, and about to do the wailing tears at any moment. Just as he was about to start one of the ladies says he can stay, and starts talking to him, to which he doesn't answer, but still...

Some arguments over the horse.

But all in all a successful trip, and lots of nice books. Though I picked up some Xmas books, one was about angels, and another had no words whatsoever. Esme says it's a make it up book. Not quite the point I wanted though.

Manchester tanning booths

Nice drive up to Manchester, though we were a little lost and walked past the tanning shop twice.

Throwing stones in the pond at dusk

Just a quick walk down to the ponds, though it was getting late.

Took thew little push chair, boy was the bumpy road even more bumpy.

Good fun, as usual, throwing stones into the lake.

Photos make it look much darker than it was.

Sunday in the pub

Another strange sky. Here's some more in my collection.

We came here last week, in fact we've been coming here since Bradley was born.
Just because I like the land lady.
However, for the first time last week Bradley and I discovered the hole in the floor to the water wheel. This, we told Esme was the secret hole.

Bit frightened he'd rip the cloth.

Tescos with Bradley

Not as noisy as Esme and me walking around Tescos, but still a lot of fun.

Even if he does pull funny faces.
