Nanna's 60th Birthday

And, of course, the main reason for the whole visit - nanna's 60th birthday!

Playtime in the Garden

The weather was so lovely that we spent a good amount of time just playing in nanna & granddad's garden, or in Aunty Natalie's:

first time meeting Baby Cameron

visiting the roses that are part inspiration for Jake's tattoo

Aunty Alex - who had just shared her exciting news - that she's pregnant with a Parker family tie-breaker baby!

do we look alike or WHAT?!

Riverside

The girls and I spent the day at Nanna's club 'Riverside' while the men played golf. Nanna had some tennis games she couldn't miss, so we spent the day watching her matches, running around the grounds, playing, swimming, having lunch with Aunty Natalie, Nathan and Cameron, and just relaxing.

a good book and a good coffee and mummy is in personal heaven

the club is set in beautiful edge-of-London countryside

Blenheim Palace
