New Beginnings

The real Master of the house
Above are pics of Tobey in his new Tigger jacket. He outgrew the China jackets. This is the only jacket he willingly tried on, just because there's Tigger on it.

We've been here for 2 weeks already and loving it. Enjoying the open spaces and the safe, child-friendliness quality of the village. That explains the high birthrate here. He now attends 2 music classes, 2 playgroups and will enrol him in a Tumbletot class for after Christmas. They are all 5-10 mins walk from our house. Tobey just blended in. It helps that he's used to these classes and playgroups from his activities back in Northampton. Honestly, I was abit worried on him settling in. But kids adapt really well! I have made many new friends too from all these activities, which has really been good for the soul :)

SK on, what must be the most photographed spot, the bridge over the canal

In the new Grand Arcade
Ventured into our new city centre over the weekend. Weather was wet and windy, but we persevered and managed to get a feel of the place, such as the city boundaries, the wheres and whats. The city centre basically comprises of two shopping areas ( an upmarket one and another standard one)separated by a lovely park. Of course there are the grand old buildings Cambridge is famous for.

I haven't got Internet access for the last 2 weeks, me and Tobey have been spending alot of time trying new things. I've started some Arts and Crafts activities with him. We tried collaging and cutting. He was more interested in the material and equipments used rather than the end product...haha....

What a lovely place to grow up! Gosh! And Cambridge... aaaawe... makes me want to go back to England. I took a ride down the canal, where SK took the pic, once and I must say, it is absolutely marvellous. Really a good move on your part.
