Here we are again

At the airport (or to be more accurate on another plane). This time we're off to St Louis to celebrate new year.

This is approx the 70th flight Bluet has been on. She is not yet bored of flying, no way (see photo).

The captain just told us its 2h and 8mins to St Louis! Bon voyage

Christmas past

With only the downtown abbey Xmas special left to watch, Bluet's first Xmas is drawing to a close. To be honest, her Xmas is already over and she's fast asleep.

And it started early.

Unable to stay asleep past 6:35, Bluet woke us all with her 'festive excitement'. So we went for a long walk and wound up atop Castle Hill, which Emily can fill you in on the history of. I just enjoyed the sunrise (pictured below)

Happy Christmas!

We're up too early because Bluet woke up ahead of schedule. So excited for Xmas! Here she is opening her stocking; interestingly, Santa woke Bluet at 2am whilst delivering it.

Stupid Santa

it took us 2 hours to get her to go back to sleep.

Happy Christmas Eve

Bluet enjoys a Farley's Rusk

Just like generations of British children before her, Bluet enjoys a Farley's Rusk.

PS they are delicious

In Cambridge

We are now safely ensconced in Cambridge, with time to kick back and relax in preparation for the festivities. This means Bluet and her Gran had more time to get to know each other. Here is Bluet enjoying some home cooked potatoes and carrots just an hour ago. She is now bathed and in bed.

We saw, we conquered

We've been to Scotland. We've hit the north. And now, like conquering heroes we return to Cambridge for Christmas. We're nearly on our final train journey, which is great. But it was worth it as a good time was had by all 'oop north', as they say.

Below, some photos from up north. (dark Satanic mills not pictured)
