Oh, this blog is getting very out of date again 🙁 Anyways, last weekend was the Festival of History, as has been blogged several places 🙂
My original plan was to travel over on the Thursday, spend Friday at Wicksteed park, then spend the weekend getting our history fix for the summer. Instead, we packed and travelled Friday, veeerrrryyyyy sloooowwwwlllyyy due to a three car crash on the A14 near Cambridge. If I’d worked out how near Bar Hill we were, and that that was where I could have got to down the side lane, I’d have done that and done the shopping on the way, but I didn’t, so we didn’t, we just sat in the car for an hour 🙁
This meant that we arrived rather nearer the end of the day than I had planned. Fortunately, this meant that we arrived at the same sort of time Helen and co were heading back to their tent, so the putting up of tent occurred in a far more congenial way than it might have done.
Children were, I think, pleased to see their friends, although Big is definitely going through a less than cooperative phase atm, and poor SB was on the receiving end a couple of times. Small for the first time that I recall actually joined in with the running around and shouting type games, and although a few times he required intervention (mainly of the “let go of that child!”) type, he mainly did OK. Progress?
Chris and I did a supermarket run, and then there was some sitting around chatting with food, can’t remember precisely when Nic and co reappeared at their tent, but all in all it was good. And I’m not going to backdate this as it would appear completely out of order in my poor RSS stream, but this was a week ago, OK?
