We've had a great Sunday that started with a visit to the Crafts / Christmas Fair at the local primary school, just up the road. I bought a cute little tooth pillow for the tooth fairy in the shape of an elephant and as we bumped ointo one of our neighbours, I felt compelled to buy a commemorative program from the Stapleford Jubilee celebrations - don't ask! We also had a visit to Santa's grotto, but Vera didn't like the look of Santa one bit and turned away and cried! She got a little gift that daddy had to get as Vera refused to go anywhere near Santa. She's only little and how on earth would she know that a massive man in a red outfit with a big beard and a deep voice sitting in a dimly lit room, is a friendly guy who brings presents!
After our visit to the crafts fair we walked around kicking autumn leaves and took a few nice photos.
Later on we met James, Liz and Ben for Sunday lunch at the Red Lion in Whittlesford. Vera and Ben had lots of fun running around slapping chairs and windows.
Vera is picking up new words at a great speed. The latest are "eyes" and "nose", both with a cute lisp. Note to self, need to keep up the Swedish so that she also makes that part of her active language.

Good instincts Vera! Stay away from all fat jolly men! Hugs from "auntie Anna"
