A trip to Richmond Park this afternoon, with Olivia and Alex (Sarah off spending the day with a friend) - a little chilly, but nice to be out. Spring is just beginning to hit - lots of little brackens pushing their way up through the leaf mould. And inside the Isabella Plantation, quite a few things in bloom - heather, rhododendrons, and even some azaleas, though nothing like what you'll see in a few more weeks' time.
Here are Olivia and Alex being intrepid explorers (or actually, at this point, I think they were playing pirates) - when Olivia is with Alex, she is much more willing to play silly make-believe games and forget that she's pretending to be grown-up - in fact, this is true of Sarah, too - having a 5YO brother is freeing for them - lets them act like little kids without feeling like someone is going to laugh at them for doing it!
More pictures - of course - in the flickr album. Off up to see Grandma Lucy (Geoff's mum) tomorrow, for a long weekend. No doubt photos will be taken, but not blogged until we return, as she has no internet...
