This weekend we all went to Chelsea so Nadine could teach her class at TriYoga, and then afterwards we could have lunch with Chris and G.
Noah and I took a long walk around Battersea Park during the teaching in the lovely crisp cold.
I took a few film clips:

Noah's First Birthday
Okay. So this is a very late post. I have forgiven myself. Please do the same.
We decided that Noah wouldn't really appreciate presents on his first birthday so (except for a Stephen Einhorn pendant which he can have when he's older), we didn't get him a present this year, but I took the day off work and we had a wonderful family day together.
Nadine and I had some champagne (of course), the weather was delightful, we opened family gifts in bed, Noah made beautiful music on his xylophone, we ate drop-scones for breakfast, crepes for lunch, then went for a walk in the amazing Camley Street Natural Park, which is nestled in behind King's Cross Station.
Delightful day. Lovely space to walk in, which Noah had just started to hesitatingly do (that was a birthday present).
We finished the day with a wee cake complete with candle.
Perfect.
Here are some piccies:

Peace Toddle
Noah and I took a lovely trip around Battersea Park whilst Nadine was teaching in Chelsea this weekend.
I wanted to show Noah the Peace Pagoda, so took him for a toddle around with Buddha (who he seemed to be familiar with...).

Nadine's first Mother's Day.
We had flowers, a card and present,
special breakfast (chocolate fingers), champagne,
a walk the park,
and a big Sunday Roast.
A lovely day.
With lots of love.
Thank you for being a great mum.

Cultural weekend
Noah met his Uncle Steven this weekend, and they got on famously.
We did some good walking, looking at flowers and frogs in the park, followed by cruising some urban art in the back streets of Holloway.
The whole extended weekend was rounded off nicely with a 'mummy and me' visit to the cinema to take in Woody Allen's latest film.
Perfect.

Noah builds a new Ark
Noah has put his pocket money where his heart is and made a contribution to help fund the building of Greenpeace's new Rainbow Warrior today.
He spent quite a while scanning the inventory looking for Gopher Wood, but realising building technology has moved on somewhat, he chipped in for some bolts, a pump rotor, electrical cable, and some joints to hold it all together.
This is an excellent project for Greenpeace, and a chance to be a part (however small), of something important.
Check the brilliant website, and then make a donation if the mood takes you. Your name will then be in the boat together with Noah's.

Water Baby
Noah has joined Water Babies and had his first swimming lesson today.
Noah took everything in his stride, even going fully underwater! There were no tears (or leaks), he just enjoyed and lapped the water, chewing his thumb as we swam around the pool.
A good sized group (7 babies), we first learned how to hold our little ones, then carefully splashed their faces, leading up to full immersion. Lots of bouncing and kisses before we started teaching the babies what to do if they fall into water - the serious side of the swim is to make these youngsters safer around water as well as to give them joy and exercise.
The exercise was great - Noah had a huge sleep afterwards. We have been having trouble with day-time naps, so this was an unexpected bonus.
Partners could sit at the pool side to watch the fun (grand-parents can probably do this if they want too...), and of course take a few photos...
Lots of dads in the pool and it was a great thing to share time with Noah having a daddy-time activity. Speaking in the changing room afterwards, it was clear a number of dads were taking this chance - both to bond, but also to give mums a chance for a bit of a break (although all the mums were poolside, and ready for feeding after the swim!).
Here are a few of the snaps Nadine took:
Already looking forward to next week!
