Another week, another city

Simon has been working away in Manchester for the week which left me and Della twiddling our thumbs. Instead of staying in York and getting bored of the sight of each other I thought it would be more entertaining to go to Durham where Della could play with her Gran and Granda and her cousin.

While we were there Della was a little poorly. It's so difficult to know what is wrong when she can't tell you but our normal happy and chatting Della decided she didn't like her routine and spent form the early afternoon until after her normal bedtime crying. Therefore telling us there was something wrong. She normally dislikes snuggling in and prefers her own space to fall asleep and entertain herself, however all she wanted to do was snuggle.

We did get up too some exciting things while up north though. Including a trip to the metrocentre and Della's first experience of Ikea:

She enjoyed puree carrot, not meatballs and chips

 Throughout her trip to Ikea her Granda entertained Della was a hand puppet, it was only right that he bought so she could enjoy it at home.

As Della didn't have her Jumperooo in Durham she was missing jumping around - luckily this was anticipated and the good old door bouncer was brought out.

Finally, after an exciting week - Della fell asleep on the settee with Granda
