Mim’s sister, Ruth, has just headed off to Australia for a year’s working holiday. Mim took Joshua to the airport to see Ruth off and took a few photos there.

My sister, Robyn, just graduated from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine with a Masters degree in Medical Statistics. Mim & I went along to the graduation ceremony, which was thankfully a bit shorter than our own had been as it is an entirely postgraduate institution (hence fewer students to get through). We left Joshua in the free creche they provided, and he was apparently completely happy to sit and play for the whole two hours. He seems to like being around older babies & toddlers.

We had some heavy snow a couple of weeks ago in London. We took a couple of photos of our back garden, and a couple after our walk in the park with Joshua.

Here are a few photos of Joshua from this month. One of our cameras broke so we seem to have slowed down on the photography recently!

We spent Christmas staying in a cottage in Cornwall, as Mim’s grandparents and Aunty & Uncle live down there. Mim’s parents and sister joined us from Cirencester. Joshua’s still a bit young to appreciate actual Christmas presents, though he was fascinated by the bubbles produced by the bubble gun Ruth (Mim’s sister) gave him. He absolutely loved the wrapping paper though, and was immensely happy to sit in the middle of a big pile of paper rustling through it all.
