Lee & Lucy’s Travel Blog

Earlier this week, Katelyn’s Great-Granny, Damaris, passed away – 2 days after her 90th birthday.

Katelyn enjoyed visiting her and we will all miss her dearly.

Rest in peace Damaris.

A few weeks ago, we got a flyer through the door for a local weekly circuit training session.  Lucy said we should go, to which I replied the usual, “yeah, yeah” … and what happened? Last Wednesday, Lucy dragged me along to circuit training!

Given that I haven’t done any exercise since, well, since forever… lets just say that my joints are still aching! (Lucy is sore too, not as bad as me though … more sympathy please.)

We’re put our names down for next week’s session. Let us see if this will be a regular thing?

We can’t believe it’s been over 6 months since we last updated the site! Apologies to family & friends who have missed our postings. I’m trying to persuade Lucy to update it too. (Wish me luck!)

We’ve got a backlog of photos and videos from over Christmas and Katelyn’s 2nd Birthday… we’ll get around to posting these very soon!

Meanwhile, here’s a lovely photo of Katelyn… our very own Little Miss Defiant!

Earlier last month, Lucy asked me if I’d ever been to Wells. I hadn’t, nor did I know much about Wells, (other than Hot Fuzz was filmed there) – so we said “Let’s Go!”.

Lucy made up a picnic, we loaded the car and headed down to Wells.  The weather was nice and sunny, great for the picnic and scenery was amazing! Katelyn enjoyed playing at the park.

Wells is a beautiful city, I never imagined how impressive the cathedral would be! A great way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

A belated notice about the newest addition to the Fortune family… Edward Toby Fortune was born Saturday 21^st March 2009, weighing in at 7lbs 9oz.

Congratulations to Emily, Steve, James, Thomas and Anita.

We live incredibly close to Cadbury Hill, yet we hardly ever make the time to go walking around there. So one Saturday morning we decided to go for a walk over the hill, head across The Star for lunch and slowly wander back.

We knew that Cadbury Hill wouldn’t be ideal for pushing Katelyn in her buggy/pram… so we brought out “the harness”!  Unlike other harnesses I’ve used, this one has the baby on the back.  I felt like Luke carrying Yoda around Dagobah!

At the pub, the barmaid brought over a balloon and some crayons for Katelyn.  This was the first time she’d tried drawing… she really enjoyed it!

On the way back, Lucy took over on the harness. Katelyn was pretty tired and fell asleep on Lucy’s back!  I did feel a bit guilty, as Katelyn was a little heavier on the way back (i.e. after lunch).

Shame she missed the view of Yatton from the top of Cadbury Hill. Maybe next time?
