Heidi took delivery of a new mode of transport today – The “Graco Mojo” stroller in a pale orange – or clementine. Suitable from birth we purchased it from the market in Newton Abbot and once back home I decided that I needed to take it for a spin.

Rachel had a nap whilst I went into town with Heidi and we cruised the streets, although the shops were starting to close. I secretly mastered the knack of folding and unfolding the thing from the comfort of home before doing such things in public. To be stuck with a shouting infant in town whilst wise old grannies go past is not a spectacle I would like to be part of.

It is a lot narrower than her main chariot which is great for stocking up with shopping. In Bristol it was capable of carrying 48+ Infatrini (milk) glass bottles which weighed a ton, plus all the other stuff needed so has done well. I would liken the stroller to a little sports car for her, rather than a 4X4.

She is still eating, or drinking a lot which I hope is good but does mean that we have to stock up a bit more than we used to.

I understand that it is going to rain tomorrow, so the planned visit to the car boot sale may well have to be postponed.
