Off to Brittany for the week. Maybe not too much structured exercise, but I will be on the go all the time! Promise...

From home early in the morning with just Rory riding too. Rode up the hill to the car park behind Sister Dora from the start of the car park at the bottom of the German Cutting.

Rode up to Marquis Drive on the back of Daddy with Nicky & Rory, Alan & Sarah to meet everyone else.

2 kiddies rides around Marquis Drive with Poppy, Alex, Kirsty & Rory. On the second one Iestyn went on the tag behind Daddy.

Back home from Marquis Drive on the back of Daddy. Also Poppy on her bike & Iestyn on the back of Steves bike.

With Mum & Dad. Showed Dad everything I can do now: did a whole width of breast stroke, a width of front crawl, lots of back stroke, diving & jumping in to the deep end and underwater swimming. Lots of playing, too.

Kiddies course around the maize maze.

Mostly in the deep end, started to do some diving. I didn't like it when my goggles filled up with water - I think I pulled the same face as Mummy makes when she gets her face wet!!

Kiddies coursefor the sprint race while Em went round the senior course.

Practising in the meadow round our bike track. Can't get up the hill yet - too steep & too many holes, but can get down the hill by myself now, including over the jump (but I don't jump it, yet!)

In Cannock pool with Mummy. Easy to do a width of front crawl now, and did 2 whole lengths of back stroke without stopping - 66m!! Did a pencil jump into the deep end, too, & didn't touch the bottom, but I did go a long way down!

Fun getting around the maize maze finding the points.

Supercamps swimming. I did a whole length of front crawl properly - Marianna thinks it's a 20m pool. Nearly there!

In Stafford pool after tea. Mummy says I'm brill now, but always got tired tonight when I tried to do a length of front crawl (but I just turned onto my back to finish off).

Mummy, Nain & Taid walked & I rode, and I had to wait for them loads. We went up to the bottom of the German Cutting then past the pond to Milford Common & back home.

In Supercamps

Lots of walking round London

It was nice. I went in the baby pool because there weren't any yellow bands left. I did practising front crawl & breast stroke. Then Mumm swapped the red band for a yellw one & we went in the big people pool. I did pencil jumps off the side & touched the bottom where it started to go steep deep. I did a whole length of backstroke and wanted to carry on when I came to the end (ouch!). Finished off with a fandabidozey width of front crawl with beautiful arms.
Have got a horrible cold and feel very tired and sick :-(

Dodge ball, party games, trampolining, art explosion but not the aqua slide - Mummy was a muppet :0(

In Cannock pool with Mummy. Swimming in the lakes made me forget how to do front crawl, but after a bit I remembered how to do it again. Need to get that left arm straight. Also touched the bottom jumping in at 2m, and did a whole length (33m) wall to wall on my back for the first time.
