They've just enjoyed a beach holiday in California and rest and relaxation was the order of the day again, as Penny Lancaster and Rod Stewart took son Alastair to the park.

Blonde bombshell Penny was showing off her enviable pins in beige hotpants as she spent some quality time with her family in a Beverly Hills park.

Alastair appears to be taking after his football-mad father in the sports department.

The four-year-old gave observers a look at his ball skills, as his proud parents watched on.

Although the family seem quite at home in LA base, Rod and Penny are apparently in discussions about being based permanently at their UK pad in Epping Forest, Essex.

It is thought Penny is keen to send Alastair to a private school in Hertfordshire.
