Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

Tuesday

Into the final stretch of the holidays now, a day with Auntie Christine.  Todays highlight was a water fight:

And it was largely amicable too.  Well, sort of......

Wednesday

A day off with Mum, another lovely sunny and warm day.  We got a picnic together and went to the outdoor pool.  Ned din't come because he's ashamed to be seen with us I think.  It was lovely down there, even if we did have to wait a little while to get in as it was busy.

Dad met us down there after work and approved of our space under the shade of the big trees.

It was a return to Team kennet in the evening, although not many had turned up no doubt to it being the holidays still.  Still, we got to have loads more throws and jumps than normal!

Thursday

Another day with Auntie Christine, no Darcey this time though.  We had a trip to the cinema to see Finding Dory which we all absoloutley loved.  I even cried with happiness!

Friday

Bit of a novelty today, a trip to London with Anne and Mike.

Mum dropped us all off at the station,  and we went in by train, we even got a seat.  The day was off to a good start.  We went accross townin the underground and got to Science museum, brilliant we hadn't been there for ages and we loved it last time.

There was loads of cool stuff to see and try out, we even went on a flight simulator which is something Mum and Dad never let us do!

We had a a really great day and were full of enthusiasm when Mum and Dad came to meet us from the railway station.  Even Anne and Mike seemed upbeat about the whole experience which pleased Mum and Dad no end.

We had a quiet evening after our big day out.......

Saturday
I had a last minute invite to a sleepover at Sasha's, complete with a trip ice skating....cool!  I packed my bag and off I went for the night.

I didn't do particularly well at ice skating.....and didn't do particulalrly well at sleeping over either.  Well, I slept okay, but had a bit of a mishap involving my large tub of thinking putty, my hair, my eyelashes and my nice new pyjama's.  I found the whole thing really rather upsetting, but Sasha's mum and dad mamaged to get me looking a lot less, ummm, blue than when I woke up......

Sunday

We went straight to Lily's gymnastics party at KD from Sasha's.  It was good fun and thrn it was home for a rest in the afternoon.  In the evening we went round to Abbie and Faye's for the evening.  We had a Nerf war, did some fencing with a variety of foam swords and rhen watched the Dark Crystal, a film Mum apparently used To like when she was younger.....it wasn't all that.

Monday

It was a bank holiday weeken so we all had Monday off.  We didn't surface particularly early so our options for a day out were limited.  We drove out to Runnymede for a stroll.

It was by the Thames, so we wandered along the river between the hundreds of people having a picnic.  It's quite a famous place due to the Magna Carta being signed there or something or another, hence the statues and what have you:

The spot where it was signed is marked by twelve really uncomfortable chairs:

Then we wandered off across the fields, up the hill, climbed some trees:

Ned busied himself on Pokemon, we saw a calf we thouth was dead but was actually just having a nice snooze in the sunshine and Mum tried to ruin her nice new trainers by treading in a wet cow pat!

We got back to the cafe just in time for an ice cream....Dad was obviously feeling generous as he didn't decline my request for a double 99.....he had one too!
