Remember last time she came to visit????

http://thebernardbunch.blogspot.com/2007/08/princess-charlotte-comes-to-visit.html

We've known Charlotte since we were babies ... her Maman and my Mama met on Internet when they discovered we both have Jacobsens Syndrome ... and also discovered that they get on like a house on fire!!!!!!!

"Happiness is .... a doting Maman!"

Charlotte ... let's pose!!!!!!!!

The Princess Duette ON SHOW!!!!!!!!

Throw a couple of Prince's in the background - and Bob's your Uncle!!!!!!

"Look!!!! It's Lala over there Charlotte!!"

Ooops Silly Me!!!

It was Mama in her silly yellow clothes!

Yay!!!!

"Maman ... these people are quite strange don't you think?"

(dixit Charlotte quietly)

Especially that one down there ...

(dixit Charlotte not quite so quietly)

She's almost as noisy as her Mother!

This one is jolly handsome though ....

hmmm ...

"how old are you young Prince?"

Right ... bored of posing now

Time for real business : PLAYING

"I've seen a few of you guys round here"

dixit Charlotte

This place is LITTERED with Teletubbies!

"Maman ... that lady is a bit scary ... she keeps wanting to smother me ..."

Thank goodness she decided to grab hold of my Maman instead!!!!!!

CHANGE OF SCENARIO

Charlotte leaves for the Alpes with her Maman and Papa

for their summer holidays

and then

ENTRANCE : Fairy Godmother for a barbecue lunch!!!

I'm so excited I fall asleep!

I love my fairy Godmother

Her other name is 'Helen"

Nothing quite like the warm lovin' of a Fairy Godmother eh?

She does tend to laugh rather loudly though ...

.... no wonder her and Mama get on so well!

Birds of a feather flock together! .....

FAIRY GODMOTHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your Kyle keeps picking me up uhhhh!!!!!!!!!

"Put me down"!!!!

Gosh, that was a truly wonderful weekend!

Thanks Charlotte, Stephanie and Xavier for being such great buddies : the Bernard Bunch loves you lots and lots and lots and LOTS!!!!!!!

Helen, Philippe, Kyle and Clement : thanks for being SO MUCH FUN! You wild bunch you!

Another busy day at the Bernard Bunch .

ok - now that messy job is over, time to spruce myself up with ....

SOME NEW HAIR BOWS!!!!!!

I think they are called "corks" ... what do you think Big Bill???

Hmmmm .... he doesn't know .... wonder where Nathan is ....

oooohhh look! Nathan's playing with my playdoh!

right rugby time now!



GO NATHAN GO!!!!!

NATHAN wait for meeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!

Gosh I'm getting of there

those boys are a bit rough

they mistook me for a rugby ball!

oooh girly friends!

do your brothers play rugby too?

oooh this lady is nice - she has totally adopted me!!!

(God only knows where Mama is)

After a sporty day - time for swimming classes with Bernard! He taught me how to overcome all my water anxieties!

He did a great job ... cos now I jump in all the time, much to my brother's dismay!

I had a lovely time ....

MAMMMAAAAA!!!

I've had a hard day ....

can I go to bed now please????

(please ignore the mess - I have just learned the art of redistributing my toys just after Mama has tidied them all neatly in their boxes ....)

A sad day for the Bernard Bunch

Remember Electrode?

William's pet and much loved friend, Electrode the Guinea Pig?

Alas, he left us ... for Guinea Pig heaven ...

William made a beautiful grave in the garden, near his bedroom window so he can always see him ...

This is what his tomb stone says :

Electrode Bernard

Will always be in our thoughts

2007 - 2009

William is very, very upset....

He spent the whole evening praying in front of Electrode's grave, and talking to him ... asking him why he left him so suddenly ....

I gave William loads of hugs and kisses and that made him feel a bit better ... but William talks about Electrode all the time.

RIP Electrode!
