Turns out that Small is just one day older than H’s F (really must start finding blognames for ppl we may encounter frequently!) And after having lunch with them after Forest School, we got a family invite to her party, … Continue reading →

Took the children down to the swimming pool to meet new friend C for an hour’s swim – Small tantrummed the whole way down, so we were considerably later than I’d hoped Pleasant swim, or more accurately, pleasant sit in … Continue reading →

Wow. Given that this blog was started shortly before he was born, means I’ve missed my blogiversary as well. Never mind, I think that this has to be Small’s entry really We started the day with presents, obviously. He got … Continue reading →

We had our first full session of Forest School on Thursday morning, following the trial session back in March. As it was also the Suffolk show that day I set out in plenty of time in case of traffic, but … Continue reading →

In our family anyway! May does seem to be a busy month for birthdays. The kids made wrapping paper and wrapped up their presents and then we gave them to Tim, he got a book on 50 Walks in Suffolk … Continue reading →

We didn’t have a lot to do on Tuesday, which was a good idea, as the kids needed a quiet day. We did need to trek into town as a certain someone was getting older the next day, so we … Continue reading →

Monday was coming home day – we pootered around slowly taking down tent while letting the children get every last minutes worth of friend time. As did I for that matter. We helped tidy up the last bits of food, … Continue reading →

On Saturday we spent a leisurely morning with friends, partly putting up our tent, and then decamped with Small to visit a couple of local camping shops, Springfield Camping and Go Outdoors. The latter has a particularly large display of … Continue reading →

We had decided to go up north on Friday on the principle that whichever day we travelled most of it would be taken up with travelling, and if we left it until Saturday then there wouldn’t be much party left … Continue reading →

Tim picked up a copy of Civilization III Complete (PC) while shopping, and the children spent some time trying to figure it out, unsuccessfully it has to be said. I think really it needs one of us to spend serious … Continue reading →

Children played carcassonne yet again, and finally, Small won, quite comprehensively at that. We haven’t used farmers yet in our games – I could see that just being way too complicated, but he’s finally got the hang of putting his … Continue reading →

Our second stop over visitor was Tim’s elder daughter L, who arrived late Monday evening. Which obviously meant we stopped up very late chatting. Again. I’m really enjoying these late night chatting sessions where I get to watch Tim and … Continue reading →

Tim started off the week by showing the children Command & Conquer Red Alert (PC). They spent most of Monday morning playing it, or sometimes sitting next to Tim while he played it. “Who is supposed to be playing there?” … Continue reading →

Sunday afternoon was E and R’s 7th birthday party, conveniently held in a town nearby We set off slightly late (you’re amazed aren’t you) not least as Small decided he didn’t want to come. This was mainly as it wasn’t … Continue reading →

As mentioned earlier, we were due visitors on Saturday evening. We texted with Helen, letting her know our eta following our lunch stop and she set off at a time that should have meant she arrived about the same time … Continue reading →

I had a tma due on Weds, so obviously I started working on it round about the Sunday before. Understandably this did not give me much chance to actually do it, and in the end I submitted attempts at 58 … Continue reading →

On Saturday I think we had a leisurely morning and then headed off to come home as we were due visitors in the evening. On the way we stopped at a little chef for lunch. While eating, I had a … Continue reading →
