No worries though, it was a lovely hot day and monkey was on top form. We did the usual market-pond thing to wear him out, however our tiring out plan was slightly undercut by ITV executives bearing chocolatey gifts:
Suitably hopped-up we embark on a second campaign of tiring out at Palewell Park playground, featuring yet another of South West London's many paddling pools. With him in bed we decide to have a romantic meal inspired by the lovely weather and the fishmonger at the market. Not the man himself you understand, just his wares, viz
Once again however, romance was put on the backburner...
Food of the MilosOther than chocolate cake the little boy has a mixed bag of food today. He wasn't really interested in eating his weetabix for breakfast, but he had already eaten some cheese and cherry tomatoes before then so maybe he wasn't hungry. Obviously there was some babyccino/puffs/raisins on the usual trip to the market and pond, supplemented by blackberries, and scrambled eggs for lunch. Another dose of fush fungers and beans for dinner. And then the second dinner of rice and thai-style sea bass. The bugger.

OMG! how utterly adorable are those curls! Milo has changed a ridiculous amount in 4 weeks. I am also rather selfishly relieved to see that we are not the only ones with a pickley baby who thinks bedtime is for wussey wusses. Have a fantabulous trip lovelies, we hope to have the same and we will see you in a couple of weeks assuming chez barnes is still open to the taylors?! love you all loads xxx PS - the food as always looks marvellous. I bought Donna Hays Instant cook book (and the classics ones too) in a bid to improve my evening offerings. So far so good. Thanks for the inspiration! x
