Mudchute Farm
The weather has been beautiful and sunny for a couple of days this week so Imogen and I took the opportunity to go to our local London City Farm. Mudchute Farm is a located on the Isle of Dogs and it has an incredible 32 acres of countryside.
Mudchute Farm feels so removed from London and yet you can see the skyscrapers of Canary Wharf. I love the freedom it gives families and children with the ability to run around in a farm setting as well as being able to see, touch and feed the farm animals.
Getting close to the donkey and horse who soon after this photo came up to say hello.
Canary Wharf skyscrapers just over the hill always give the farm such a surreal feeling.
Look what we’ve found! Perfect muddy puddles for jumping in.
The goats are adorable, they’re so friendly and come up to the fence so you can stroke their soft noses. We took some lettuce for Imogen to feed them and she found it hilarious when their mouths opened and they took the lettuce from her hand!
A rooster says a very loud ‘cockadoodledoo’ to me for taking a photograph of him. To which Imogen said ‘Mummy, let’s go now’ and she began pulling me away down the path.
This is almost as good as the real thing…
Playtime in Wood Wharf
This week my wonderful friend Sonja and her beautiful daughter Keira spent the day with us in Wood Wharf London. The weather was stunning and we came prepared with picnic rugs, toys, balls, bubbles and food.
Sonja and I have known one another since we were both in the late stages of pregnancy when we met through our local antenatal classes run by the NCT. We still have a very close friendship with the girls in our NCT group and regularly meet up with our husbands, toddlers and new babies in tow.
I love the special friendship that has blossomed since birth between Imogen and Keira. They’re such good friends and always so excited to see one another and play!
Keira and Imogen wait patiently for the bubbles to be blown.
The bubbles float up into the air and they’re off to catch them …!
A little rough and tumble is lots of fun on the grass.
Then it’s time to play grab and run with the Elmer ball.
… and to stop for a special hug.
Sonja and I enjoy catching up in the sun while the girls giggle and run around and play. After a morning full of outdoor activity we share a picnic and Imogen feeds Keira raisins.
Fifteen minutes later Imogen is fast asleep in her buggy on the walk home!
An Afternoon in the Sun
Hubby and I enjoyed a couple of hours in the sun yesterday afternoon whilst Nanny and Imogen read books, played with Play Doh and splashed in the paddling pool.
We walked along West India Quay in London and viewed the old spice warehouses near Canary Wharf. These beautiful buildings have been turned into apartments, restaurants and the Docklands Museum.
A pot of tea was refreshing in the hot weather as we sat under a large tree at Browns.
The Eton Mess we shared was delicious.
The high rise office buildings in Canary Wharf sparkled in the sun.
Linking up with this week’s The Photo Gallery: Sun on the Sticky Fingers blog.
