as it is sooooo cold! and i have got soft with a few days in my parents’ lovely warm house. we had a lovely time. lousy weather though! at least sat not so bad. we went to the chiltern sculpture park. having been to the yorkshire one, it is a bit low on sculpture scoring, but a really great walk in the wood. my sis and her 2 were there too. all the kids had a wonderful time running around, climbing trees, interacting with what sculptures we found. photos to follow
i had told Sb about how much fun i had cycling in the block and cul-de sacs where i grew up, so we took her bike, and she took what opportunities she could between torrential downpours to bike about. Also lots of reading, drwing and games. 2 violin practices. mum thought she held the violin well [phew] but was uncertain about the playing frere jaques in time. we will continue to practice! it will be slow!
BB and cousin E were having great fun together playing games . BB surprised us all by counting down the stairs to 14 – how did she learn that? Also trying out te alphat – poisson rouge! no idea of colours though.
t-bird – my mum has never heard of cutting down violin strings in all her years as a violin teacher.
back home, and beans squashed flat by winds, but sure they will pick up. chris’s parents have been past and done a bit of a tidy for us – thankyou v much to both sets of parents this weekend!
Sculpture Trail looks fun. Nothing like that around here as far as I know.
Torrential rain so we were a bit cage crazy today bar a brief excape for Clo to splash in some puddles. On Springwatch it was dry and sunny in both Devon and Islay. How come???
Yeah, we liked that sculpture trail (we can play snap on flickr
), although no, it’s nothing like the Yorkshire one! But hopefully you got to see red kites? Loads of them over that way.
loads of red kites. when cousin M said to SB they wre kites, she did snap at him of course they weren’t, they were birds…
Glad you had a lovely break and that you get your mum’s seal of aproval for SB’s playing posture!
Alas too long strings now the least of my violin worries!
Sculpture trail looks good and not very far from us, must try to get there soon. Charlie would love to see the red kites. Glad you had a nice time away too.
We had the heating on for a couple of hours this morning but now it’s warmed up and we have the back door open instead!
