Fred's First Swim, and Behind the Bar at The Swan, Brome, Suffolk - 29th January 2009

A January round-up: we take Fred down to Diss pool for an experimental swim, to see whether he freaks out or not. He seems to enjoy it, so Isobel signs him up for baby lessons. Then, on a Sunday, we walk over to The Swan in Brome for refreshments, where Alan has a go of Fred and shows him behind the bar. Then, whilst Evelyn and Louise are over for the weekend, Fred decides it's time to try out some solid food, or at least as "solid" as ground rice and water can be. In between, we're at Noah's birthday party in Elsworth, Cambridgeshire, then Fred has a bath in the kitchen sink, and the first day back to work in Cambridge reveals that the A14 is up to its usual tricks, as it's hosed in both directions.
