We went to the library in the morning & then took Abigail & Benjamin to the park. Gerrit went along with us, as he didn't want to go shopping with Sarah, Josh & Anna! Nearly at the park in the above photo.
Benjamin *loved* the swings! This was his first time on them (his daddy sat him in a swing once before, but he was too small to sit on his own or enjoy it) and it's been too cold and wet all winter for going to the park. Anyway, he had so much fun and even moved his legs back & forth & was swinging himself! :)

In the afternoon/evening we (Peter, Josh, Abigail, Benjamin & I) went out for a walk up the hill and down by Tulloch Castle. It was a bit cold, but nice & dry.

Home at last, I made Vermicelli Cake for dinner (really just a baked spaghetti with mince & tomato sauce and a white sauce with cheese on top). Benjamin has enjoyed his meal and is an absolute mess in this photo above! :) But his face/smile is just adorable - in my opinion anyway!
OK, off to sleep I go. If anyone is still reading my blog, do leave me a comment now & again, please! :)

Hi Rachel.
I love the photos and love reading about British things. Please keep your blog up and running.

That pic of Benjamin is a classic!! You have to keep it safe and bring it out when he's 21 :D
Yeah! You found me fast! I'm glad you did! :) You're babies are getting so big! :) Beautiful family! :)
Ohh... the spaghetti thing sounds good! How exactly do you put it together? Do you layer it, or just stir it all together and bake it for a bit...?
Thanks for all the comments, especially those who have left a comment from the first time! :)
Naomi: Yes, I was thinking it would be an ideal photo for on his wedding day! lol
Melissa: Yes, it's a layered dish (well at least 2 layers of the pasta & sauce, and then the white sauce). I used Ragu Red Wine & Herbs sauce (it calls for a jar of ready made sauce, so is an easy & quick dish to make). Would you like me to email you the recipe? :)
Hello Rachel :)
I've not posted in a long time--I feel bad.
I *do* look at your blog often.
I think that Abigail is photogenic.
All the photos look great.
Btw, you can go ahead and email me the recipe too. :p It sounds very good.
Love you,
Steph

I would love to have the recipe, so long as you think it might work with home made sauce-- due to allergies we can't use Ragu sauces in this house! I don't remember if you have my email, so just in case, it is melissa3303 at hotmail.com.
HI Rachel, I am reading, even if I don't always comment
Love
