Well, one of my New Years resolutions was to integrate with both the home ed communities that we are roughly equidistant between [ie not near either!!]
So we went to the botanical gardens and met up with a number of other home families of under 8′s, SB immediately clicked with another nearly 5 year old, and ran about having great fun. We also investigated the glasshouses – I always love the tropical. there were coffee plants, banana, cotton, papaya and pineapple in a section – which SB thought was cool!! A nice cafe attatched too – very important! SO, lots of nice friendly people, not intimidating at all, and enjoyed by all of us. So even I should imagine I’ll go again!
It was, unfortunately, very expenisve, as we picked up a parking ticket… Anyway, chris has also taken some lovely close up flower pics, and I’ll let him sort them out and flickr. I liked this one of the jade flower though. What a colour on a plant!
SB has played quite a bit on BBC Jam since we got home, BB has poddled about. Chris now reading brer rabbit stories, which are going down a treat.
I have packed SB’s stuff. realised have no clothes I like, and nothing to pack, and no money to buy any new ones. well, I have 2 pairs of trousers – one held together with a safety pin, and lots of tops that are too short for a rather over-endowed figure – please can thigh length tops come back into fashion!
Hmm, must finish packing as much as poss tonight, as very busy day tomorrow! Feeling vastly disorganised.
You and me both to the no clothes and vastly disorganised. Hohum.
you mean thigh length tops are out of fashion? Ah well…. I too am contemplating clothing and wondering if Melrose may be too draughty for my skirts as my 2 pairs of jeans are so battered and make me look even more lumpy than I am.
well, its just i can’t seem to find any to actually buy, rahter than wishing to appear fashionabel [rofl at the thought!] now if I could knit…
Jax could crochet you one?
have even thought of packing… hm… when is party?
BTW, we can add to party bags if you want to brings those sweeties?
poor girls arms would fall off with weight!
