Hanging About in Forests and Squeezing into Trees

Our holidays continue...

Badminton, because why not?

The rain won't stop our play! Or at least Mummy won't let the rain stop her from asking us to go out and play..




Watching the tractor cut the field.

Bright Sparks week at Bletchley Park: problem solving and code cracking at the WWII home of the codebreakers.






We were the only takers for one spy class so the children had two teachers between them.


Activities at the library.


Book sculptures :)


 Making a home for our new guinea pigs!


The guinea pigs are a birthday gift for this beautiful girl.





Den-building in the forest, with friends.










Camping in the garden.

Summer is Here!




Strawberries and raspberries - all homegrown. We've managed to pick a bowl or two from our strawberry patch and raspberry bushes, every day for the last month. I'm super proud of this and we've made some yummy smoothies with our garden fruit, with a little help from the grocery department.




One cool ice lolly made by The Boy.



Birthday parties for the cousins.





Cousins


Cooking and baking...





My pirates.

'Taking a picture' without a camera.

The Boy asked if he could dissect a dead bumblebee he'd found so he could study its innards. Ok then!



Here are some of the flowers we grew from seeds earlier this year:






Pond dipping. An ever-favourite way to spend the afternoon.

The Wimbledon Final in the pub, with chips. Perfect.





Badminton with Nanny. <3

A miniature project on coasts, following on from our holiday in Cornwall.
