{Snapshots} a moment to cherish from each child from the previous week.

Big has sewn an apron of her own from start to finish. Small gave me a hug of gratitude at Warner Bros Harry Potter tour. Smallest is loving spending time with her friend Aston, though very much missing Creature, and Tigerboy played his first note on a recorder. (I’m not sure it’s a note anyone else would recognise but I was impressed he could blow! )

  1. *Goes to google frumenty* Although I have heard of it – some sort of porridge I think. Enjoy your last two days.

    1. Pearl Barley cooked in milk with apples, and maybe a little honey if needed. Served with cream if available 🙂
