Home again, home again

for a few days at least.

Wonderful time had by all while visiting The Portico. Big very much enjoyed her time there, and there was an added bonus of seeing Barbara’s E today at the Muddlepuddle group meet. In classic home ed group fashion, there was much sitting around drinking tea and chatting (for adults) and running around screaming (for children). I did wonder why we adults don’t run around screaming – if it is so much fun that all the children want to do it, how come we don’t? Did we get it drummed out of us in our school upbringing? Anyway, they also did blo pen pictures – Big did a lovely rabbit, which I know I brought home, but I’m not sure I’ve brought in from the car yet.

I feel recharged – both by the fact that Small has slept through all three nights we’ve been away, and by the fact that I’ve had such good company for the time I’ve been away. Alison is very easy to talk to – as evidenced by the fact we were up til nearly 1 this morning 😉 just chatting – and it’s been great to be able to do that. We also did swimming and lots of walking, which has probably done me the world of good too!

Anyway, nice to be home too – and gold star to Tim for doing the washing up despite his physios advice not to – thank you love!

And now hot chocolate and bed. Lots of washing to do tomorrow, so rather a shame that the forecast is for heavy rain!
