INDY GOES ON A CRUISE 2019 (THE YELLOW BOOK)

This week we were delighted to receive a book in the form of a photo-journal from Indy's American relations.  They put together their photos of a Caribbean cruise from last summer and made up a book for us all to enjoy.

Indy is 8 years old and getting to be a long, leggy lad!

It arrived on a day when Ellie was with us starting early in the morning (until midday) as she was off school.


She is now getting the idea of sounding out the words ... and is enjoying this wonderful world which is opening up! She also enjoys rhymes, such as Auntie Dandi ! (She's a real mimmic and quickly picks up, and remembers with ease rhyming words or sentences.)

We now have 2 of these books!


It was a real treat to spend a wet morning having a prolonged breakfast interspersed with the book... so thanks to one and all for the effort!
