After a much-needed Skype call with Nick, I took Emily to visit Ali, Adrian and Amelia (four months older than Emily) in Bredon, near Tewkesbury. They had moved to Bredon recently from the town, and had really struck lucky as it was a great location and their nearly-new four bedroom house was wonderfully light and spacious. It was hard to keep the envy in check, to be honest, but they both work very hard and deserve it.

We spent a very pleasant afternoon in their garden in hot sunshine, and Emily and Amelia got on ever so well. Amelia was very generous with her toys; young children can often be possessive when they have visitors. She even pushed Emily around on her ride-on toy and gave her a few hugs.




While we were eating lunch on the patio a formation of three aircraft flew right over, perhaps on their way to a display.



The main line nearby provided the odd sound of a train rushing by, so what with that and the planes Emily was very content. Ali wrapped up the afternoon with a book, and they sat intently as she read though it all.
