Bairns In The Baths

I went along to Abigail's 2nd Water Babies class on Monday armed with 2 cameras! (ours and Pinars).
The rest of the class are relaxed enough about photos been taken so I snapped away for 45 mins whilst getting my first insight to the world of baby swimming lessons!
Have to say I was really impressed with the techniques they use to get the little-uns confident with the water, and at the same time keeping them entertained.
Obviously the best part was watching them actually go under the water (see videos below and in the 'AbbieTube' bar), and not one of them came back up distressed.
We'll be taking Abigail abroad next year and I think I might have to seriously look at an underwater kit for my camera...!
As usual there's a flickr set of the photos, and don't forget the 'View as Slideshow' option at the top of the flickr page. (Note: Some of the pics will look a bit odd, as I thought it best to blur all the other babies faces out except for Abigail and Amber).

Royalties Due..?!

We were at a wedding doo last night and whilst standing outside talking to the smoking brigade a lass I've not seen for a good few years pipes up with;

"Eeeh you're Revell aren't you?"

Aye

"Did you take your Baby swimming a few weeks ago"

Aye

"Eeeh do you know ya photo is on the Blyth Valley website?"

Erm No!

Turns out the photo I blogged at the time was also used on the Blyth Valley Arts & Leisure website HERE.

(Incidentally, Abigail's proper 'Water Babies' classes start on Monday).
