What they wore Wednesday.
Yesterday I took the two smaller children on a succession of trains to go to Freeport Braintree, a shopping village in Essex. If I could have driven, we’d have been there in an hour. As it was, Tim took us half way, and we then caught a couple of trains. There were difficulties to this.…

{feeling glad} to be back home. And also that I caught up on the washing before the rains set in. {missing} Kentwell nevertheless. And making plans for our next visit. {watching} NCIS. The episode where Tony diNozzo senior drops by. Very odd ending. Very odd episode. But enjoyable. (No family film night tonight, due to…

{Wondering} where the year is going. Getting close to the longest day and then the nights start drawing in. {Enjoying} warm afternoon after pouring rain this morning. {Shopping} with Tim. Which is an odd experience, we’ve not done it this way for years. Needs must though. {Sewing} first time I’ve been able to sew through…

{Reading} lots. Eleanor and Park, the Girl with all the gifts both finished, and I’m a third of the way through Queen of the Tearling. {Watching} Spy Kids 4 for #familyfilmnight. Don’t. It doesn’t even have a cameo appearance from Antonio Banderas to redeem it. And as for the fight scene while in labour? Good…

{Driving and driving and driving} all the way to Yorkshire for party in the field. {Wrestling} with a tent. Which broke a pole. Again. Thank goodness for the emergency kit with duct tape. {Eating and drinking} with friends. Lots of friends. Home ed friends, renewing friendships that go back ten years and more. {Revisiting} so…

{Visiting} Kentwell Hall. Absolutely glorious weather for the second open day, held out on the barnsward. {Refitting} Big’s toile. Sigh. I know it is good news that her back is straighter. But, another set of tweaks and I’m very worried that whatever I do it just won’t be comfortable for her. {Reading} where are you…

{watching} Holes. Which was excellent. Based on the novel by Louis Sachar, the screenplay is by him too, which explains why it’s so true to the original. Appealed to both the older children as well as both adults, a good choice for a slightly older family. {Reading} Milly Molly Mandy at bedtime. Although naked Trevor…

{missing} Tim and Big who are off in 1560 celebrating May Day with the other Tudors. Far too cold to be in a tent with very small people though – the heating is on in the house. I hope Big is coping OK – she feels the cold a bit, but I did send her…

{feeling} very odd. I’ve got something strange going on – maybe inner ear related. I feel a bit light headed while sitting down, but every time I stand up I fall over. Which is awkward. {running} before this came on, I did my best run possibly ever, trimming my time for 1.2 miles down to…
