Today, Daddy was to pick up his new (used) car and show you a picture of it. Unfortunately, the dealership didn’t have it ready for pick-up. So, instead, we all embarked on a wonderful hike around Whitchurch’s countryside.

Off Tolii [...]

After a week of nursery rhymes at nursery (its theme for the week), Tolii said tonight, “Twinkle, twinkle chocolate bar, my daddy drives a racing car”.
The full version, we later found out, continues…

Andrew finally broke down and bought himself a GPS gadget: the Garmin Nüvi 670. The similar 660 got rave reviews but didn’t have (up until very recently) the integrated FM transmitter - a feature definitely worth having.
Its quite cool and promises to not get him lost (not that seemed to be a problem before…!?). [...]
