So busy, so busy. Blog hasn't really made it on the agenda lately, which seems to be a recurrent theme. Anyway, in some attempt to make up for this, we present the following. So, without further ado, some holiday photos.

Austria was mostly hot and dry, albeit with thunderstorms to clear the air most evenings. So, whilst we didn't escape the rain completely, it had much less impact on us than it seems to have done at home. Whilst we were away, we saw pictures of flooding in Leamington, which freaked us a bit!

As I mentioned before, Jess wasn't 100% well. She didn't settle to sleep well (not helped by thinner curtains than at home) and woke frequently and early. Sharing a room with her was not restful She was off her food a bit too; oddly, unless it was brown (eg bread, cake, schnitzel). For someone whose favourite foods are normally broccoli and broad beans, this made mealtimes hard work. However, as you'll see below, we did have a good time, most of the time.

As we went with Granddad and Nanny Mott, we hired a big VW Passat estate, so had plenty of room. We visited a few old haunts, and went to a couple of places we'd never been before. Cue scenic shots:

As usual, we met some exciting wildlife too:

(A bit of searching Mr Internet after posting led me to identify this as a female scorpion fly (genus Panorpa, probably Panorpa germanica or communis). I'm relieved to discover that it is entirely harmless to humans.)

Moving on, Jess also did lots of walking practice, when not making use of her buggy:

To be honest though, I don't know what she spent so much time smiling about...
