Real Ale Train

Last weekend we spent the day on the Real Ale Train (RAT). The four of us, Niki, Callum, Chloe and I met with Andy (a colleague from work) and his son Austin.

We caught two trains to Alton where Andy had already called ahead with our cooked breakfast order – yum!! We boarded the RAT steam train at Alton with Andy’s dad and father-in-law. Hugh and his son Mark also caught up with us a few stations up the line.

Other than sampling the ale, the kids all loved being on a steam train and also jumping off at every available point so that they could see the steam engine.

Callum, being a typical boy, was a dirt magnet, as you can see from the photo!

We hope to take Callum next week when Thomas the Tank Engine come to the Watercress Line for a holiday – I am sure more photos will follow that day too!

Chloe Jane Toogood

In my year void of posts on the Toogood Blog, the birth of our Daughter has been missed.

Chloe Jane Toogood was born at 16:07 on the 4th March 2010 weighing 7lb 5oz.

The labour was vary much shorter this time and Niki only used entonox as pain relief!!  Furthermore we were out of the hospital the very same day – how very different a story than Callums birth.

Chloe is nearly 5 months old now so expect to see some posts about her soon

Well its official!

Make a pregnancy ticker

Well its official, Niki is pregnant again and we are expecting another baby in March 2010. Its obviously early days but people notice quicker when you work for the Ambulance Service as you are not aloud to work on the road, so people ask questions quicker!

As and when we have more news we will look to update the blog and facebook, so check back soon for regular updates.
