Greenwich Park in Autumn
We had an extraordinary day of sunshine on Thursday this week. I was at work so Daddy and Imogen ventured across the river to Greenwich Park in London for some outdoor fun.
Yellow autumn leaves on a deciduous tree look bright and colourful by the evergreens.
Enjoying a picnic in the sunshine with a homemade cheese sandwich.
The low autumn sun cast wonderful shadows through the trees.
Imogen had fun getting wet in the water area of the playground.
And loved playing with sand in the large sandpit. What a beautiful autumn day…

Our Cats Louis and Mia
I simply cannot live without pets. I adore animals, especially cats. My entire life I have grown up with cats and dogs. And whilst I love dogs, our life in central London just won’t accommodate one. Don’t tell hubby, I’m waiting until we move to the country…
Our cats Louis and Mia were rescued by Celia Hammond’s Animal Trust when they were kittens after being dumped in a cardboard box. I’ve written about them here and with my earlier cats Molly and Coco. Despite Louis being larger than Mia I still sometimes get them mixed up, they’re so alike. These photos show the similarities in their mannerisms, both are absolutely divine and ever so smoochy!

Mia the girl likes to have the bed to herself.

This week I loved reading Charlotte’s lovely post about their new family pet Finding Our New Addition on her blog The Crumby Mummy.

Toddler Time at Picturehouse Cinema
This week Imogen and I went to our local Picturehouse Cinema for Imogen’s first ever cinema experience (aside from the Big Scream which she went to twice with me when she was under the age of one). We went to see Rastamouse which was playing at Toddler Time. It’s a 30 minute session for toddlers and their parents or carers. I think it’s a lovely way to introduce toddlers to the big screen.
Charley, Peter and Kitty were chosen by Imogen to come to the cinema with us as she thought they’d like Rastamouse (perhaps Kitty more than the others).
There’s plenty of music, dance and singing in Rastamouse which immediately meant Imogen was a huge fan. She didn’t sit down once, choosing to stand and then dance whenever the music played.
