September was a wonderfully busy, warm month full of lots of activities enjoyed with our family and friends.
Robin started her new nursery on Highbury New park this month. She took to the space and teachers immediately and Philip was lucky enough to be able to take a day off work and accompany Robin on the Nursery outing to Paradise Park Safari.
Matthew, Tessie and Jacob visited London and it was great to hang out. We had a parents only night out at the Town hall Hotel and then the kids got to see each other for Sunday lunch. It was so wonderful to finally meet little Jacob and these two have begun their friendship. Blake look particularly pleased!
There were two trips away in September. Lucky us!
The first was a truly brilliant weekend away with the KVAM gang. we headed to Suffolk to go on a yurting weekend and it was one of the most enjoyable weekends we have had in ages. The kids were so happy to be roaming around in our little paddock and we were happy to let them enjoy the outdoors during a remarkably warm Autumn weekend. They children really impressed us with how well they all got on and it made us so happy to know that they all feel so happy and comfortable with each other and all the parents. Our favourite activities included Blake skinnydipping in the chilly sea, Crabbing at the pier, wonderful fun meals and BBQ at our yurt camp and stories by the bonfire. The beaches were so beautiful and the towns very quaint. Overall our first yurting experience was a huge success!

Towards the end of the month Philip had a business trip to India and so the children and I decamped to Centerparcs for the week with Nanu and Nani. We filled the 5 day trip with plenty of activities and I really enjoyed sharing a bed with Robin on the trip. It was lovely to feel her sleeping snoring self next to me. Master Blake had a room and en suite all to himself! We enjoyed the "Sub tropical swimming paradise" the most with Robin on the slides and Blake splashing all over the place.
Nanu had fun cycling around with Robin and Blake in a trailer and they loved being transported around in luxury!
Robin also astounded me with her confidence, patience and bravery holding some of the rather large owls during our on bird related activity of the week! Meet Indy below...

The month concluded with Robin's third birthday. She received her "treetop house" as she calls it for her birthday and has loved it. We had to say goodbye to her cot which was sad but our little baby is growing up!
