Cheep, cheep

Blackbird has been sitting on 3 eggs for the past 3wks, she has been very dedicated only leaving the nest box for a short time to get water, food and stretch her legs.

Unfortunately over the time one of the eggs has disappeared - we think it was an unfertile one which burst in the nest box (which we had to clean up). So there are 2 remaining eggs.

Today when Roy went out to check on her he heard a small peeping noise coming from her nest box, so he took a closer look and there was a little beak poking out from under her!

Little Wing Pizzeria..

It's C's birthday - he decided he wanted to go to a movie and have pizza with some friends as at the age of 10 he's getting 'too old' for parties!

As we have just had a new branch of Little Wing Pizzeria open locally we thought this was the ideal opportunity to try it out.

So after the movie the 7 of us descended on the restaurant. We were seated in a cosy booth and the kids given menus with activities printed on and a tub of crayons - excellent idea to keep them occupied!

The kids menu offered a single price for 3 course meal - they chose to start with doughballs, which were soft & squishy with a separate serving of garlic butter. Yummy!

For main course the kids opted for pizzas as did Roy, whereas I opted for the Cannelloni. The food arrived promptly and was delicious! Clean plates all over.

 The kids had ice cream and hot chocolate for dessert, I chose tiramisu & cappuccino. The boys loved they grown up feel to their menu and I liked the dessert combo option.
Yummy!
  We had a delicious meal, the kids were happy - we will be back again soon!
