William John Horn

Got to meet the first baby born to someone from my circle of friends from school. Heidi Horn (nee Nunn) gave birth to William John on 11th July and so is now the ripe old age of 6 weeks.

Daddy Daz demonstrates the favourite resting position for William who is apparently a no nonsense happy baby.

Uncle Tim gets to demonstrate his new baby whispering skills... which work for a few minutes before Mum and Dad are required again.

We all pop round to see Anthony and Anna and Ant shows off some fancy one armed reverse baby holds which keep William also very quiet.

Froggy Friend

Silje and I spotted a froglet on the path as we charged through the torrential downpour into Sandringham, and presented it for Princess Maud's approval.

Finally, some classic quickfire Maud shots to finish off my coverage of our Norfolk holidays.
Watch this space for our next adventure... hopefully in Vancouver, Sept 2007!!!

Sandringham Visit

Day trip to see the Queens holiday house at Sandringham...

Erm who's driving?

More Beach Fun II

I saw Mauds sandy foot and it reminded me of the picture Matt took (below) when she was only a few days old of her perfect little piggies

"Erm... yep I want that... whatever it is..."

"Oh.. sun cream... thats a bit rubbish... I don't want that!"

Too late Maud! Grandma takes her opportunity and goes in for the Sandy-Grandma-Hand-Suncream-Rubbing-In-Trick!

More Beach Fun

Beach day!

On the beach...

Maud is far too grown up now to sippy cups now, so stealing water from the big grown up bottles is far more exciting... although does pose a small danger of taking an impromptu shower.

Holidays 3

More pictures of the wedding party before the do...

Holidays 2

One of the main reasons for going to Wells-Next-The-Sea was so Matt, Silje and Maud could attend Tim Sandersons wedding (please see Matts Blog for full details and a full gallery of the event). For me and Mum it was just a great excuse for a holiday by the sea side!

Getting ready for the wedding... wellies were essential and added a certain something to any pretty dress the girls were wearing

Maud can't resist having a quick rummage around in the stones in the garden.

Holidays Day 1

I know I know, what took me so long to get these blogged? Well my excuse is that my new internet connection is about 1/3 the speed of my last one so it takes forever. Anyway, stop moaning and enjoy a few pictures :-)


Wells-Next-The-Sea is a lovely little north Norfolk town with everything we needed (except a 24 hour tesco)

Everybody in!

SAS managed to lose Maud's pram and baby carrier on the 1 hour journey from Oslo. They managed to find the pram and sent a delivery driver, who got lost. After we hunted him down, Matt returned with the missing Maud carriage.... but without the baby carrier! Uggg!

Grandma arrived on Friday and Maud got straight into showing off all the toys in the house.... and her playing hat!
