May/June 2012

24th May: Spotty Megan

29th May: Look what happens when Daddy's left in charge - join the dots!

Meanwhile Emily enjoys a Jubilee party at Brownies with Lydia.

2nd June: Half-term walking in the Lakes.  On the way up Shipman Knotts (Megan didn't walk the whole way!)

4th June: Katie was sofa-bound with chicken pox, so Daddy got a day out, first cycling 40 miles over Honister & Whinlatter passes...

... then a quick spot of peak-bagging in the afternoon with Mark.

Relaxing with a barbecue in the evening at Mark & Sue's.

6th June:  Breakfast with Matthew & Adrian.

Back home Katie had a bath and let us inspect her spots.  Unfortunately a bit too much sun exposure just before the rash came out caused an 'enhanced' rash (called "actinic varicella") - you can see her strap-lines!

7th June: Doctor Megan helping to make Katie better.

Chris & Lianne took a detour but couldn't get over to the picnic side of the river.

We couldn't find the right rock though...
