When we moved house and got into the back garden we soon realised that we were sharing our space with lots of frogs who seem to love the place as much as we do. Little did I know our front garden was soon to be the delivery suite of a whole host more! I had tadpoles as a child, so when Princess J found a huge amount of frog spawn in our pond, we were both pretty excited about watching it as it turned into hundreds of tadpoles. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately!) nature was harsh... the birds were well fed, the neighbours' cats found entertainment, and on a few occasions I forgot about the running hose and our pond turned into a flowing stream (sorry to all those tadpoles who never made it into my rescue glass!) After months of watering the pond multiple times a day, watching for any changes and Princess J being surprised by big momma frog hiding under a rock, our tadpoles have finally found their feet! While the number of tadpole siblings dramatically decreased, our little patch of the earth is home to an 'army' of frogs who, at the minute, are so small that they can fit into the head of the hose - just like little froggy above! I just hope they don't live up to their name...

Family, having 'the tourist' look, lovely ships, flags, burgers, noodles, funny photos, Dutch pancakes, chocolate strawberries, smoothies, a load of great music from Samson and the Delilahs (our amazing wedding band, for those of you who have been asking - check them out!), finding friends, dancing Joe, fireworks, a late night walk, 'busking' under the bridge and a trip to McD's...all in a great day out.
