Back in Surrey

---

Hi All Ruth gets the blog today (but only cause I have snuck on before the kids get a chance) Had a lovely day hanging with the Robson's - we miss them :-(. Walked Lauren to school then off to the park with Oliver and Katy, good old Reigate park to feed the ducks (Andrew and I always visited Reigate park so nice to take the kids back). Oliver headed off with his mum for a sleep so we headed off to Petworth house it is a GRAND old manor house that we also used to visit. Eventful trip got caught up in a trafic nightmare when a truck (way to big a truck) tried to drive through a VERY small streeted town - clearly this did not work and truck took out town monumnet, then while trying to get into the house a car hit swiped the back of our car arghhhhhh the day before we had to return it. Anyway not to bad Andrew is going to polish the large chunk of red paint off and that corner already had a mark so hopefully the new one won't be noticed. Finally got into the house then had to be evacuated because the fire alarm went off!!!! Very funny day but worth it cause the house and grounds are just beautiful. Stopped at Andrews old watering hole The Dolphin at Bechworth for a quick pint then a wonderful dinner with the Robson's. Off to London now!!! We are a little tired but having an amazing time.

Quite a day
William I dooo LOVE your T shirt!!!!! I hope you thought to take a photo of Phil, Kate, Lauren & Oliver only, for framing. Well fancy the Middleton's purposely feeding ducks. I think Andrew painted a wall in your bedroom the same colour as the ones in that very grand bedroom but that's as close as you get. I enjoy waking up and first thing checking your blog, thank you
