Back to Dronfield

It was only a few weeks since we'd seen Alfie & Betty here in La Tranche but as usual we'd noticed big changes.

Alfie is getting more confident in the local playpark...

...and Betty's enjoying it too!

We took Alfie to school on several days. What an idyllic setting just a few minutes' walk from the Hills' house.

Another day, another park

This one's just been revamped with a fantastic selection of activities for the youngsters

'The Rocket' as Alfie calls the interesting structure in Dronfield centre

If you hadn't noticed earlier, it was definitely autumn!

Alfie had his 5th birthday whilst we were there, and we had fun at his party in a local venue

Lots of fun to be had on the bouncy castle...

...and blowing out the candles on his birthday cake...

...with an eager-to-taste audience!

And what about this monster planets cake?

It really tasted as good as it looked...

...but how on earth (ha ha) is this possible?!

Nadine was later asked to make a Hallowe'en cake

What talent, but sadly we didn't get to sample this one!
