Her Aunty Anna and Karen arrived for a little visit en route to Robin Hoods Bay for a camping weekend in Crush - Karen's old school VW campervan.
Della was most impressed with the present they brought. A jungle gym. Although there is only a very slight chance that she will learn backflips and the beam at this gym she is happy to have another place to lie and look out of the window. She has already stared at the flashing lights, decided the toucan can be her Mam's favourite toy on the mat and fallen asleep to the sounds of the jungle - it is surprisingly calming listening to frogs and waterfalls.
In between naps Miss Chalkley also managed a couple of quick cuddles...
All the talk of weekends away sparked more debate in our household about buying a campervan. Normally around this time of year we would be loading the car with a tent and camping stove and heading off into the Dales for star filled nights and lazy mornings with long breakfasts. However, a night with Della under only canvas, would inevitably result in us being asked to leave the field at 4am as she decides it is time for her second feed and nappy change of the night.
Will there be a Collins' family van before the end of the summer...?
