Tuesday
It was the St Barts open evening, I hate having to sit through the head teachers presentations but at least I got to make a lovely Dough Plait in the food tech room and bumped into Abi and had a game of badminton with her in the sports hall.

Wednesday
Our first week of after school Tag Rugby club, after my initial nervousness passed I really enjoyed it, despite being the only girl there!  It did take a while to get used to only passing backwards though.....
It's a bit of a big sporting day on a Wednesday now as we have PE during the day and then Team Kennet in the evening.  Evie from school joined this week so that was nice.
We had to call in to Sports Direct on the way home so I could get a football kit for Friday....

Thursday
Park House open evening, a bit of open evening jadedness had kicked in by this, the third trip round.  Ned was helping out for the night in the PE department so we had to drop him off meaning we were there pretty early.  This meant everything was still pretty quiet and we got to have a good old nosey about.  Lola appeared with Teagan so that was fun.  Ned was doing a great job in the Sportshall, getting people to have a go at some standing long jump, recording their measurements and giving out tips as well as talking to the parents.  The gym was a great too, even if I did exhaust myself giving the rowing machine a good going over (at it's maximum resistance setting).

Friday
Our first week of girls Football club.
We all had a stint in goal, I did surprisingly (worryingly) well.
In line with my new sporting regime it was pretty full on, finish football, get changed go to gymnastics!
Mum and Dad went off to a quiz in the evening, brilliant, we had Trish for babysitting! obviously it was a late night......

Saturday
Ned's rugby season has started again at school so we went up to watch him play.  Despite my initial whingeing it was actually quite pleasant, it was warm, the sun was out and all I had to be concerned about was the year 9's playing on the pitch behind us.  I was terrified they'd come flying off their pitch and into us in the narrow strip between the pitches.  Ned played well and it was interesting to watch what they did after my first week of tag rugby.  There were drinks, doughnuts and biscuits after the game too.....very civilised.
Waitrose next for lunch provisions.  The bakery cheesecake fridge looked to be broken though so no luxury cheesecake.
We had a lazy afternoon before going Roller Skating later on.  Dad and I had done a few high speed laps holding hands before I managed to trip over my own wheels somehow and take the pair of us down in quite spectacular fashion.  We were physically unscathed though.

Sunday
A proper day out today Warwick Castle (covered by the Merlin Passes).  Okay, well first of a bit of a grumble about the car parking.....£6 and miles away from the Castle itself.  Once we had finally got in it was actually pretty cool.  We wandered around a bit, climbed up some steps, took in the views then had a picnic lunch surrounded by rather forward ducks who made me jump everytime they got a bit too close to my feet under the picnic table.  We carried on along side the river:

There were some big old fish having a nice sunbathing session in there.

Next up was the Horrible Histories themed Maze which we really enjoyed at our customary 100mph.  Mum and Dad took ages because they were actually reading all the interesting history stuff.....

There was an archery display nearby once we'd finished that.  It was really rather good, the bloke was funny and interesting although I think the descriptions were a bit on the grizzly side for poor old delicate Ned who had to go and have a few deep breaths in the trees.
We went along the ramparts and up the towers, the stairs were super steep and tightly wound their way up to some spectacular views.
We finished the day watching the trebuchet being fired, which was pretty impressive actually and a nice big Mr. Whippy which was even more so!

Homework awaited our eventual return home after some pretty sticky traffic on the M40....


Monday
Darcey came round after school, we had a lovely time with the wooden railway set which doesn't come out all that often anymore....but is still very much enjoyed when it does!

Wednesday

I went straight to Eloise's after school for tea......and got to fuss her doggie Pippy.  She so cute and lovely, the dog that is!  We went straight to Team Kennet together and actually managed to stay in the sane group for the evening.

Thursday

I know it seems a bit early as i've only just gone into year five, but we went to the Trinity School open evening.  It's only just over a year until I have to choose, and just like Ned did, we're going to get two years of visits in so we're as well informed as we can be.  I loved it at Trinity, big school looks so cool with all the proper science labs and what have you.  I got to get a little hands on but our tour was cut short by what can only be described as truly epic rain.  There was water coursing over the pathways outside, coming in through the doors and in one place even the cieling!  We decided not to follow our tour guides through a river and full on downpour but we had seen most of it.  We made our way home but even that wasn't straight forward as a number of the roads were flooded.

We got home and enjoyed the lightning display......

Friday

I've been having a bit of trouble with a baby tooth being forced out at an angle by my new one underneath.  After a night of derious discomfort Mum sorted me out a dentist appointment and by 10 o'clock I was sat in the chair.  I had the choice of putting up with it until it eventually fell out or having it removed there and then....it had to go.  Three injections later (one in the gum, ewwwww) and it was out.  I loved having a numb mouth, it felt so weird. Best of all my tooth got put in a proper dentist grade bag:

Kieran round for tea, the boys weren't quite as annoying as usual.....but then they barely look up from Pokemon Go anyway.

Saturday

A trip to the races with Nate, Alan, Hayley and Andy.  First big surprise of the day, Alan arrived at our house early, yes, you read right, early!
We got parked up in the middle of the track and made our way in, Nate took a while to warm up but was soon on top form.
Speaking of being on top form, we had some winners!

It was made even more exciting by one of my wins containing a brand new fancy five pound note.
Once racing was over the stage was ready for a bloke called Mark Ronson to play some records.  It was a bit old school for us kids really, but Uptown Funk was at least a bit more up to date: 

Us ladies (and Ned) got a nice VIP ride back to the car after the show:

Then we headed home to have an indoor picnic as not everyone fancied sitting outside at the races for it, turned out to be quite fun actually:

Sunday

A bit of a lazy Sunday morning turned into a bit of a mad panic after Ned and Kieran somehow managed to concoct the idea of us joining them down on Sandbanks beach.....
I'm so glad they pulled it off, even if the traffic on the way down was a bit sticky.
Lydia and I had a great time, when the boys weren't being super annoying anyway.
I even got her to some in the sea with me (note, no wetsuit):

The boys got commissioned for a publicity shot:

And then reverted to being annoying:

We ended up staying quite late after a unsuccessful attempt at fishing then calling in at KFC on the way home, much to Ned's disgust.....

Monday

I had a right old homework binge after tea, and decided to paint my fingernails in a defiant breach of the school rules.  My toes have been a very nice shade of metallic blue for over a week now and no one has pulled me up on it so thought I would up the ante a bit and go for orange fingernails....

Wednesday

We're drawing near the end of the outdoor athletics season at Team Kennet, but it's still lovely weather wise, even if it is getting darker a bit earlier.  Sunset over Greenham Common was pretty good:

But not a patch on a proper Cornish one.

Thursday

The good weather was still with us so what better after school than a trip to the outdoor pool? Northcroft had other ideas though and saw firpt to close the outdoor pool last weekend!  What a downer, we had to go indoors instead and although I thought I may as well make the best of it and enjoy it forwhat it was 

Mum and Dad weren't nearly so enthusiastic.  We did have a laugh though, especially with our efforts at synchronsed swimming.  Mum has hidden talents is all im going to say.

Friday

Last day of the week at last, and Chelsea's last day at our school, so a mixd day really.

We spent the evening getting things ready for tomorrow morning.....

Saturday

A big mornng, we were having Lily round and our guest of honour, Chelsea.  She's leaving our school and indeed leaving our country on Monday to go back to Trindad.  She's only been with us a year or so but I think it's fair to say she has become one of my very most favoured cohorts.  She has been a real breath of fresh air for us with her endless enthusiasm and happy nature.  So anyway, we had a great morning playing with my extensive teddy collection, a music recital with my keyboard, a bit of disco session with my Itunes blaring out before the weather dried up enough to allow us out into the garden for a quick go on the rope swing and a few games of swingball.

I had taken lunch ordes and Dad sorted out our pizzas, doughballs and salad, before mum sorted the puddings, profiterroles and a selection of ice cream!

We put the potentially sad occasion to one side and had a really great morning:

Sadly though it couldn't last forever and we had to go and drop Chelsea off at her now pretty much empty home....there may have been a few tears.....

So Chelsea it's been a pleasure, I hope it works out for you and hopefully we'll keep in touch via email.

We sat and had a bit of a regroup before we went of to Charlotte's barbecue.

Becuse she's been dead clever at college and passed her accountancy exams she thought she'd have a bit of a celebration.  What was even cleverer was having at her Mum's place, Sue is brilliant at this sort of thing and it was great to see her again after a long time.  The weather wasn't great it has to be said but we certainly had a good time.

We did escape out into the garden for a bit as it brightened right up in the late afternoon:

Sunday

Chessington today......hopefully 

I would be past my 1.40m target so I could gon Rameses Revenge.  We went on a few rides to warm up and then called into guest services to get officially measured.  After an initial failure and a bit of posture work I reached the lofty heights og 141.5cm....and got a wristband to prove it to the ride operators! I was chuffed to bits and made use of ot on the nearby Rattlesnale rollercoaster that none of us had been on before.  It was epic.

We took lunch at the sealion show:

They were real show offs and super cute.  We loved how effortlessly they swam:

Dragons Fury was worth the wait, especially as Mum and Dad both sat the same side of the car....which was supposd to increase the spinnng.  It certanly did too, it was the best ride we'd ever had on it for sure!

Then it was time for Rameses Revenge......

Dad apparently thought i'd bottle it...no chance.  I loved it, totally loved it, it went over and over and over.  As we were sat in the middle we got a proper soaking too...even better!  We got off and went straight round for another go.

We called it a day after that and headed for home.....via the spoons for tea"

Monday

We had to speed read to finish my library book, three chapters with Mum as we're not allowed to extend the loan again.

In unprecedented scenes both us kids cleared our plates of roast dinner in a very timely manner and then I completed all my homework a whole day before it has to be handed in!

Tuesday

Into the last week of the holidays and the weather is still glorious!  So on another Aunties day itwould have been rude not to go to the pool again:

Darcey came along too, although Ned couldn't be othered to join us.  We had a great time, especially diving in with Auntie Trish, I eas very impressed with her dives.

Wednesday

Bit of a weird one today, Mum had us for the early morning then Dad had a 'half day'.  We dropped Mum off at work and then went to the Wokingham Family Golf centre.  It was a pretty cool set up, I really liked the look of the mini golf with it's dinosaur themed holes.  Sadly though we played football go, after I gave in to Ned.....again.

It was actually pretty good fun actually, even though it was quite hard to malke the ball stop on the green.  I certainly enjoyed it more than Ned to begin with, he had a torrid time of it to be fair.

I was pretty disappointed with my tee shots despite my i oressive looking run ups:

Dad won, despite being the worse football player out of all of us.  The big news though....I beat Ned!! Better not speak about that, ahem.  

We had a Tesco car park picnic which we haven't had for a while then we made it back jst in time to pick Mum up from work.

Team kennet again in the evening, still low on numbers this week......

Thursday

Mum off today, we had no agenda so just enjoyed hanging out in the garden, having a chat, eating a leisurely lunch....all very civilsed.

Once Dad was home we sorted out a picnic and headed for the river in Hungerford: 

It didn't take long before we went for a paddle and played on the swing:

We had it all to ourselves and stayed until the sun went down behind the trees.

Friday

As is traditional, last day of the holidays, Dad was off with us.  We went ice skating at the link centre in Swindon, so a new venue for us.  It was really good, hardly anyone there and the ice was in good condition too (ha ha we're such professionals).  We hit the rink with real conviction, no side holding or anything, proper straight out on the ice skating.  We loved it:

We lasted the whole two hour session with only a few minor falls on my part, a great sucess then!

We came back to Newbury, picked Mum up from work and went to Pizza Hut for the lunchtime buffet. Brilliant stuff, even though it was pretty busy and we had a short wait for a table.

Saturday

Mum and I played Wii while Dad spent some quality time with my bike, trying to reverse the affects of the salt air on the transmission that it was exposed to in Cornwall on holiday.

Ever since my 'thinking putty incident' i've been keen to get some real blue mascarra and finally ground Mum down enough to take me into town to get some:

First application wasvery promising!

It was the very welcome return of roller skating this week, in full disco mode too with flashing lights, lasers and glow sticks.  It as good to meet up with Lola, and Abbie and Faye turned up too! Dad fell over twice and blamed the wet floor from a spilled drink and the other one on me pushing him!  

Sunday

So last day before I went back to school, i'm almost, sort of, looking forward to it, in a way.

We tried to forget about it by going to Cotswold Wildlife Park for the day.  The rest of us hadn't been for a while although Ned went for a school trip not long ago.  It's a lovely walk round and theres a new playground whch was epic.  Early highlights included a very athletic lizard climbing display and a very noisy gibbon.  Lunch wasn't far off of course, but there was a bit of a problem as we had managed to forget Ned's bag of rolls.  He's quite specific in his demands so couldn't be tempted with pinching one from everyone else and had to make do with a cone of chips from the cafe! Oh what a hardship.

There was a birds of prey display on the lawn, we got a ringside vantage point and had to duck several times as a very speedy Falcon swooped over our heads, it was brilliant.  Afterwards you could handle a few of the birds.  This owl was only 10 weeks old and had already been trained to perform in the earlier show:

But this rather magnficent Eagle was a whole lot bigger:

We carried on around the park, when we stumbled across some goats in need of some loving:

We loved watching a couple of young Lemurs having a tussle in the walkthrough and as ever, stood expectantly watching the penguins, hoping that one of them would dive into the pool.  They didn't.

We arrived at the giraffe house just as the keeper filled up their feed bin thingy, so got to see one really close up:

We caught a cheeky glimpse ofthe usually very reclusive leopards which was a first for us before the real highlight of the day, two baby lions?  Cute overload.

Monday

Back to school day.....I looked very smart as I left dspite still having last years shoes (don't look at the soles).  So I'm now in year 5, upper school, which means it's only two years until big school.  I have a new teacher, Mr. Toal so we'll have to wait and see how thst works out......my forst day went okay though!

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!

Saturday
So we awoke on Saturday after a decent lie in to the sound of distant crashing waves, and even better the rustling bags and packets of Mum and Dad unloading the monster Tesco click and collect order. Once we'd surveyed that, and supervised the military operation of putting it all away it was a bit of a meet and greet mission.  There were loads of us down this year, as well as the usual suspects Andy, Ben, Rach, Kimi, Marny, Darcey, Laura, Auntie Christine, Uncle Ian and Auntie Trish we also had Owen and Kirsty and Finlay, Millie, Chris and Kate!  Quite the invasion this year.

There were waves and sunshine so we headed for a day on the beach, a perfect way to kick things off.  We spent all day down there, pretty much until the sun went down:

Sunday
Another day on the beach, well the sun was still out and there were still waves.  With high tide around the midday mark though the beach did seem a little bit busier than we're used to:

We didn't mind though, it was lovely.

In the evening it was time for the annual barbecue, well, 'smores' event anyway:

It went down as well as ever of course, it's a real highlight of the week for us kids.

Auntie Christine had a few games lined up as well, no doubt inspired by the Rio Olympics that were going on.  It wasn't standard olympic sports though, there was the plastic cup seperate and restack race (Dad seems to have a very serious look on his face):

Owen let himself down on this one by cheating, what a low act!

There were also various bean bag themed events which were great fun:

I think I also made a new friend in Millie:

Monday
Guess what? The weather was still glorious so once again we hit the beach.  The waves had died off a touch so it was a good day to get everyone out for a swim.  Darcey and I particularly enjoyed doing an artistic gymnastics routine with seaweed that had to be seen to be truly appreciated.

We all know how Dad likes a dig in the sand but we rather stole his thunder with this creation:

It ended up as a makeshft hot tub, complete with steps down into it and fully tiled with slates from the beach.  In terms of creativity and ingenuity, my mini golf course idea was top notch:

We totalled five holes of increasingy difficulty and structural comlexity and all the lads certainly enjoyed play testing it!

Tuesday
It was still sunny......we decided to take advantage of the low morning tide by going for a dip in the pool:

It was as cold as ever!

We walked round to Constantine to meet up with Finlay and Millie who were busy fishing the rockpools.  They also had a pretty well stocked bucket of crabs from their bacon baited crab lines.

We didn't do as well with them though:

In the afternoon we had the most hotly anticipated activity of the week......the AquaPark at Retallack.  Basically it was an inflatble obstacle course in the middle of a lake.  Participating in this endeavour were myself and Ned, Mum, Dad, Andy, Owen as well as John and Sarah who joined us for the afternoon.

We had the luxury of bouyancy aids to wear, I love a bouyancy aid I do:

We got the briefest of rules outlined to us before we got to hit the water and head out to the good bits.  It was so epic, i'd been looking forward to this for weeks and it more than lived up to expectations.  I loved the balance beam (which I found much easier than anyone else), the trampoline and all the various slides.  The launch bags were quite a sucess too.  These involved a large grown up positioning themselves up a tower while a smaller projectile (myself or Ned) positioning themselves on the end of a bed sized air pillow.  Even getting yourself ready to be launched was quite an achievement and after an initial miss aligned leap from Dad, Ned was launched into a low earth orbit with a somersault for good measure before splashing down after re-entry.  My turn next afforded Owen the oppurtunity to fulfil his usual role of making one of the kids cry when he gave me a similar lift off.  It wasn't his fault though, and I did sort of enjoy it, on reflection.  There were also see saws to play on and probably best of all large floating pontoon that was quite wobbly froside to side.  This ended up being used as a giant sumo wrestling ring, with endless pushing and shoving and falling over.  Sarah particularly lost the plot and was laughing so hard she had no change of even managing to stand up.

At the end of our hour session we were all pretty much worn out:

I got to grill John for a bit as I always like to do, but now he's so tall I had to conduct most of the conversation stood on a picnic table.  Stay tuned for pictures to follow from varous other sources on this one.

We re-grouped when we got back to Treyarnon:

And then went out fo an evening group walk:

We picked up Dad and Andy on the way round as they had escaped for an evening surf at Constantine:

Wednesday
Well it had gone in a flash so far and sadly it was already time for Darcey to go home.  We made sure we took her surfing in the morning on her new board first though.

We waved her, Laura, Auntie Christine and Uncle Ian off and then I set about having a massive all day TV binge on the sofa......well it had been a pretty full on week so far, we all need to recharge.

Thursday
Well it had to happen, it turned a bit gloomy, grey, miserable even maybe?  So after a cooked breakfast we rounded up Trish, Owen and Kirsty and took a trip to Bedruthan to make the most of the low tide.

We had a lovely explore as always when we go there, it's a really cool place and always seems so remote and quiet.  We climbed, we paddled, we ate our picnic lunch and then had some afternoon sport.  First off it was gymnastics, with beams drawn in the sand.  This culminated in both Dad and Owen attempting cart wheels with varying degrees of sucess.

Next up long jump:

This was given whole new level of professionalism when Owen introduced a white and red flag system like they use at major sporting events.

We dropped into Anne's Cottage on the way back and spent a small fortune on clobber.  I did manage to secure myself a rather splendid winter coat from the sale section though, it's a beauty, i'm almost looking forward to winter now!

Again there were defectors, this time making their way back home were Kimi and Marny......

We spent the evening watching the Olympics, diving is our new favourite spectator sport.  We are all experts on splashless entry, under and over rotation.

Friday
So after a spell of bad weather we were back on form today with this surprise cloudless scorcher of a day:

Ned had a stand up surf lesson, as usual, he was annoyingly good at it, he got up first time:

While he was bending his instructors ear for extra tips and advice from his instructor we played boules:

Seeing as the weather was so good we decided to hit the youth hostel for lunch, sat at our favourite vantage point and having a good feed, perfect.

With the upcoming storm on it's way the surf was getting bigger and bigger so we went back to Harlyn for a dip with Owen in tow.  It was brilliant, I caught thousands of waves with Mum, Ned worked on his stand up and Andy, Dad and Owen got a few too.  The tide was coming in at a rate, making for some weird conditions where I was surfing (Hands behind my back) across varying depths of water before almost getting to the foot of the rocks at the back of the beach where the sand runs out.  This contributed to Owen managing to lose his flipper while taking it off and getting caught out by a sudden surging wave.  Trying to find a clear rubber flipper that doesn't float is very difficult......we didn't find it again.
Another departure with Finlay, Millie, Chris and Kate heading off.  It's the first time they've been down and I hope it's not the last, we had a lot of fun with them.

Saturday
Well the storm that was predicted arrived with a vengence on Saturday.  It was a Wet and wild day for sure.

We couldn't do much, the beach was red flagged so we took a trip to Padstow.

It wasn't actually that busy, we wandered the shops for a bit, ooohed and aaaahed over all the lovely little dogs out for a walk and ate Pasties.  I also bought myself the cutest cuddly bear ever from the utterly fantastic teddy bear shop, I could have stayed in there for hours test cuddling everything.

We went back to base to find out Kirsty had been taken ill, the poor thing!  It's not so easy to get to the doctors in Cornwall on a saturday afternoon so they had to wait until the doctor came to visit her.  She got an injection and got to ride all the way home to Newbury laid down on the back seat of the car under medical advice.  I hope ypu feel better soon.  So that left just us four and Andy, after Owen went home with Kirsty, taking Trish too.  We went out to take in the effects of the storm:

The foam being blown off the sea was like a full on snowstorm and the sea was crashing against the island, at times completely covering it with huge plumes of white spray.

We made it back to the shelter of the caravan in time to watch a good stint of rhythmic gymnastics at the Olympics, I loved it, Ned....not so much!

Sunday
It was a bit grim today too, we had a lay inthen started packing up our stuff.  The beaach at Treyarnon was still red flagged so we took Andy and Dad to Harlyn so they could get some waves.  Ned didn't fancy it for once, which was a surprise as he's pretty much surfed himself to a standstill over the course of the week.  He's been 'out the back' with the big boys and is very pleased with himself, claiming some massive waves to boot.  A yway, while they were in the sea we played a tense game of Dobble in the car......

Then it was back to pack up, tidy up and head home, another summer holiday completed.  As ever, a massive thank you to everyone involved for a brilliant week and thanks too to everyone who left us food parcels as they departed, we ate very well at the end of the week!

Monday

Although we weren't that late back last night it was good to have a lazy day at home with Mum.

We took a quick trip out for provisions and then I got creative with the cornflour:

I did make quite a mess with it.....the table and chairs, kitchen floor, conservatory, sofa, garden path and even a few items of clean washing on the line all managed to get mucked up.....oops.

We bought the film 'Goosebumps' on DVD earlier and watched that in the afternoon when Dad got home, I loved it.
