A week late, but this is me! ;-)




In the First Class carriage on the Watercress Line.


Melly! :-D


Will and Christopher


At the engine sheds


Back on the train again


The really awesome Bagpuss cake Mel's mother made!




Having chips on the beach wall at Barry Island


Looking for seashells on Jackson Bay


On the ramble path near Nell's Point


On the rocks at Whitmore Bay


Swinging away at the park




Whitmore Bay - the main beach at Barry Island


The Promenade


Whitmore Bay from Nell's Point


Jackson Bay from Nell's Point - I'd totally forgotten this little beach was even there, till I turned the corner and saw it.


If you look carefully, you can just make out Flatholm Island - as featured in the Torchwood second season episode 'Adrift' *grins* It wasn't as clear a day as I would have liked - you can see it from a couple of miles into mainland Barry then, and Barry Island's not as close as, say, Penarth, so it took maximum zoom to get even this.

Isn't he just! *shakes head in bemusement*

I've never actually seen that kind of swing till it was installed at Roath Park. It's the kind where several kids can pile on and swing together, which is a fun idea. I expect a couple of adults could too, if they were inclined ;-)

*chuckles about the Cubs* I'm not sure which team is better, the Cubs or the White Sox *is watching last night's Sox/Tigers game right now* But I've seen at least one person in a Mariners jacket, and was insanely jealous *sigh* Normally all you see around here is Yankees merchandise *scowls* It's the MLB equivalent of Manchester United.

But, to answer your question *grins* it's just a cheap jacket in a pilot/bomber style. Not even real leather, not like the one my friend in Louisiana sent when he was a year old - that was a gorgeous jacket.

Yay! Picspam! :D

*grins* It's getting harder to get decent ones of him - he's in that 'rictus-grin' phase, so I have to try and distract him as I take the picture.

Hee! What I refer to as "THE HAM". :) Nat does the same thing.

[gothams3rdrobin.livejournal.com]

Oh it annoys me! Some otherwise lovely photos ruined by the baring of his full set of milk teeth...

Maybe it'll change once his adult teeth start making their presence known... ;-)

Nat likes having pictures taken of her so I've finally started to say "If you're going to ham it, I'm not going to take the picture". It's usually enough to make her at least think twice about it. And while she's thinking, I take the picture. :)

Yep, I try some kind of distraction technique myself. Not got it down yet though, and if I try and make him change his smile I get a really tight-lipped expression instead. *rolls eyes* Can't win.

Tickling always works too. :)

Great pictures, and Rowan is so cute. :-) I especially like the picture of him on the train.

Thank you! *grins* I like that one too.
