Hmm, having not blogged much for a long time, i am dreadfully out of the habit of sitting here and blogging in the evening. Mostly, I am doing work now not sewing so much!
We had a fantastic jubilee weekend with friends, camping in their parents backgarden – poor parents! they were great hosts, I wonder if they truly knew what to expect? we were first to arrive and pitched our tiny tent, helped sort out a few things and then just enjoyed people arriving. Lots of friends, lots of adults chatting, lots of kids playing. A fair bit of sewing 
I hope the twins enjoyed their birthday. I certainly did SB slept with the birthday girls in their bell tent – tho sleep might be too strong a word, as i think she and another girl decided to read their whole books… BB – who had had a fab time playing with her friend J – was fine with SB not sleeping with her, and after her story, fine for me to go and rejoin adults – albeit only 5m away – but a big step in confidence for her. I also loved how she had brought sleeping bags for tigger and yoshi
The following day, tho the weather on the dire side, we went to the oyster faire. no crowds meant an excellent view of mummers, falconry and storytelling. thought the mummers great actually also various tudor dances and sounds about the place. lots of opportunity to look in reenactment tents and buy stuff – points for DH, suhat for SB. SB and some of her friends went dressed for the occassion too, and looked fab. BB bought herself an axe 
and SB a tiara – my girls, not from the same pod!
We went back to clear away tent and chat some more before leaving rather late. good weekend tho
I had both bank hols of work – woohoo! so spent it with girls, doing some catch up on gardening, playing games, crafting, reading and exhorting a bit of home ed ‘normals’, oh and loads of clarinet practice . SB and I made elderflower cordial – which smells divine. i had another go at making a mediaeval pie with BB [she still didn't like it!]. lovely pottery days
weds was also off work – lucky me, and we made it a jubilee themed musicetc. I brought crafts to make jubilee inspired banners and also a patriotic cushion. music lessons, french games, music theory also done.
this weekend we meant to do a bit of activity and geocaching, but for the first time in ages migraine free so celebrated by doing nothing! [well, clarinet prac, tidying up the kentwell stuff and making sure we had all i thought we had ] enabling the girls to get started on crafts for village country faire as it is next weekend. BB is going for the scattergun approach – hundreds of quickly dashed off entries! we have tried to make sweets from elderflower cordial, but think i burnt the sugar – might need to try again we have made olympic medals, golden temples and pictures. also played more games and had lots of snuggles and i read to them about Henry 5
