Wimborne Food Festival 2011

Before Daddy went to work on Sunday we went to the nice Food festival in Wimborne.  It was very, very interesting as there were so many bright colours, people and strange food smells.

I have been a bit poorly with a nasty cough and cold, which made me grumpy, but I'm feeling better now and I'm back to my usual happy self.  Mummy and Daddy also have it....oh dear!

Today Daddy was off work and I was such a good boy.  I followed him all over the house doing the vacuum cleaning, which I love.  I try to fix it with my hammer as I go along, but Daddy looks a bit worried when I hit it too hard!  I am managing to stand up on my own, which is quite exciting and the other day I picked up a computer mouse, held it like a telephone and said "hello Daddy" which made Mummy and Daddy look very surprised.

The cakes were huge.  Daddy got some monstrous slices of fruit cake and I helped him eat them....I love fruit cake!

Mummy couldn't resist some nifty kitchen gadgets

Daddy said he should take some curried goat home as a special treat for Granddad.  In my story books goats always eat socks and underpants so I don't think they will taste too good!

Is that man going to eat all of that!?

This funky band were just great

Time out for a banana

Even Mummy doesn't cook meals this big

There were some of these funny dancers again....I don't understand it but its fun to watch

Mummy bought some wild boar sausages from another stand....these are Irish ones

People were eating a whole pig!

Daddy had a chickpea curry and Mummy had this Thai green curry

Lovely Weather

My Daddy is a grown-up so unfortunately he has been at work during this lovely weather.  When he came home this afternoon we decided to make the best of the lovely warm weather and go to Moors Valley for a nice walk for 2 hours.

We fed the swans and ducks and walked towards Potterne Park.  On the way back I got hungry and so we stopped at a nice picnic bench in the evening sun and I had a banana.  After that I had a lovely time playing on the bench with Mummy and Daddy and playing with some leaves and fir cones.  Daddy took some nice photos as the sun went down.  My Daddy says I am a dear little boy and he likes it when I give him a big hug when he gets home from work.  We usually play ball on the bottom of the stairs for a while when he gets home.

Nana got me a lovely second hand Richard Scarry book last week at Hinton Ampner, in the church stall.  here I am reading it.

This is one cool book.  I laugh when Daddy reads some of it to me

Here I am with Mr Swan at Moors Valley

One of the rare occasions when I didn't take my hat off!

Daddy used Silver Efex Pro to convert this photo to mono

Here I am on the bench...great fun

I was so happy I slapped the bench with excitement.  You can see my new teeth here!  They are good for biting breadsticks

I loved playing with the leaves and other bits....I did keep trying to eat them though!

For the photo geeks; Daddy took these shots on his old Nikon D80 camera with the little Nikon 35mm f1.8 lens.  Natural light only.
