BoY MoNdAy

Arlo and I started our day with a trip to the library

after which I wandered along to look at a junk shop which had something I had been eying up for the last 2 weeks as I drove past...but really we totally didn't need....but once I saw it close up I figured I really did want it and I was in need of a little cheering up....so this gorgeous retro pushchair came home with us (once I had walked home with our other pushchair and come out again to get it)

I think the beads on the front might have been the selling point, or maybe the white leather reins like we used to have as small children or maybe the fact that it's a Silver Cross

a trip to Wynyard Quarter which opened over the weekend ( without the hundreds of people) seemed like a good first outing for it

Arlo loved all the boats declaring them his favourite

watching the bridge go up for boats

Arlo's gorgeous jersey from Aunty Elizabeth which he has finally grown into

checking out the new concrete steps

right down into the water, I imagine come summer he wouldn't just stand at the edge


some big boats

and seats perfect for running along and jumping till we got to

the new playground


which Arlo approved of


some cool iron drums to play on in front of the old Tank Farm

and the bridge close up, Arlo was very impressed it went up to let 3 boats through just as we got to it

than we got to walk across it....he amused the people around us by yelling loudly "we made it" when we reached the other side


and one last look at the luxury yatchs before heading to school pick up

  1. Isn't he growing and changing?!

    Love the stroller, I had a Silver Cross pram apparently, it was my mum's pride and joy.
