Buffs, hymns and Lego!

Spent Saturday in Ambleside, although as normal Grace and shopping for new boots were not very compatible! Mark got some good stuff for Morocco whilst I took the kids to the park... In the end I got a new pair of gloves, which won't be useful for keeping my feet dry or Morocco but they took minimal trying on.  Lorn is now a bit obsessed with making a variety of head wear items out of his new buff.

Sunday has been rainy day, with Joe feeling poorly. Lorn was a star at cubs church parade as he had to do the reading that he was sharing with Joe on his own, you couldn't see him as the lectern was taller than him but he spoke very well so it was worth sitting through the service, however saying that it was harvest festival so I knew all the hymns so I had a good old sing. It was an afternoon of Lego and princess sticker books, the boys made a variety of Lego vehicles whilst Grace And I made stuff from her Princess activity book.

Mud, photos and crumble

A strange day to start a blog... Well here goes.
The first dry day of the week, after the horrendous rain of Monday and Tuesday it was time to dry out . The chicken run is very muddy, so the girls spent most of the day free ranging around the garden which they enjoyed a great deal, they love sitting on a sunny window sill preening themselves!
School photograph day, so it was a bit hectic getting to school early, Grace was good and did lots of smiling, as long as Little Ted was allowed in the photos, so we will see what they all look like when we get the proofs tomorrow.
Made an apple crumble for tea with some of the apples picked from next door. I must get round to making some blackberry and apple jam, and maybe some more chutney.
