Sometimes it's time for a morning stroll and school work has to wait. We spotted some deer - who also spotted us, and found some big, beautiful fallen leaves as Autumn begins to arrive.

The kiddies have spent all their free time this week making these.

The Boy got stung by a wasp on his foot on Friday. Two days down the line and his foot is still red and swollen, and he remains ever so tearful. We've had an interesting two nights with him waking up with the pain but have discovered that hot compresses are amazing for the swelling (as well as vinegar, Piriton, Cal-Pol, aloe vera, ice and Savlon!). Hoping for a better day tomorrow.
My two eldest helped out for eight hours at a local carnival, for their Sea Cadet unit and earned themselves a whole day sailing today, where they went solo in their own sailing boats for the first time. I am so proud of them!
I am also incredibly proud of my crazy Panda Girl who thinks holding tarantulas is cool.
And this little man who cooks yummy French ham and mustard pies
