Today I am feeling much much better. Mama put me to bed at 7.30 last night and Dada had to wake me up at 10am this morning. I woke up smiling and have been an angel since.

Today I am not going to playgroup because I am not feeling very well. I have got a cold, but this is not the problem. For the last two days I have had very bad nappy rash and IT REALLY HURTS! It is sore and little blisters have appeared, so it hurts when I wee, walk, sit down, anything I do makes it hurt.I have not been sleeping at all well and Mama has had to take me into the spare room so we could sleep together cuddling through the night. I was in so much pain every time I wet my nappy, so Mama made sure that my nappies were kept dry and lots of cream applied. This morning I ran around the house with no nappy on which was strange yet liberating.
I don't look very photogenic today, what with my runny red nose and pale complexion so no photos I'm afraid.

Yesterday I went to playgroup in Corscombe again. For some reason, I was attracted to all the boys toys. Before I knew what was happening I was happily hammering away with the tool set, whilst all the other girls (and boys) sat on a patchwork sheet having a pretend picnic. Next stop was the box with all the cars, tractors and trucks. This was great fun and I made lots of noise with all the necessary sound effects. The time passed so fast that before long we were back home playing in my room.After a nice long nap, whilst Dada mowed the lawns, Mama and Dada decided to drive to Lulworth Cove. It was such a nice day that it seemed a shame to stay at home. It was very different from the last time we went, this time there were very few people and only only shop open for ice creams. We walked along the cliff top and I sat with Mama whilst Dada climbed down to take photos of Stair Hole [ picture ]. Before we left we spent some time sitting on the grass, but it was very windy [ picture ] so we soon decided to go home. Stopped for fish and chips on the way home, but Mama wouldn't let me have any!
Today we didn't do much. Dada finished mowing the lawns and Mama played with me. Later in the afternoon we went to Yeovil to buy a harness. Mama is worried that I will run off now that I can walk properly. Ten pounds later and I now have a super set of reins, yet to be used outside the house.

We started the day with breakfast and then playtime [ picture ]. Maddie had lots of fun with the balls from my play tent [ picture ] and I enjoyed [ picture ] posing for the cameras. After breakfast we went for a walk up the hill, passing the well which supplies our home with water [ picture ]. As we reached the vantage point at the top of the hill it was very windy [ picture ]. We then walked through the woods and found lots of puddles [ picture ].We have to abort the walk due to heavy rain and the fact that Maddie and I were feeling quite tired. We went home for bottles of milk and then out again for lunch at Athelhampton House. The rain stopped us from walking around the gardens, so we headed home and continued playing in my nursery [ picture ]. All the cameras were out again, so we posed for more pictures [ picture ] and before my new friends left, we went to watch the cows coming up the lane for milking [ picture ].
Saturday 6 Oct
Today our friends arrived, Andy, Julia and Maddie - who is eight months older than me. We started the weekend off by having lunch at a lovely pub a short distance away in Sydling St Nicholas. Maddie and I had great fun running around the pub and afterwards we headed to Tyneham Village, which is down near Lulworth Cove. It is the remains of village that was taken over by the military for D-Day preparations. The families were evacuated and never allowed to return. All that remains now are the shells of the homes [ picture ], a telephone box and recently renovated church and school house, which now holds and exhibition. I walked around one house which now had a carpet of autumn leaves [ picture ]. I spent quite a bit of time trying to chase after Maddie [ picture ] but was never able to catch up!
