Last weekend we mostly chilled in the garden, and enjoined being together. I had finished a stressful week at work with a very important meeting, which has mostly settled positively and ongoing worry, so that is good. I therefore had the ‘kickback’ migraine, so was struggling!
I did get some photos of the done glasswork – well BB’s, SB’s needs a better background to photo against.
I got home slightly early on the friday so got to do some home-ed type things with the girls outside in the beautiful sunshine 
BB is getting to grips with writing now, although not her preferred thing! Sb doing lots of music theory We chattd, they bounced, I watered the greenhouse, we laughed and loved. I love summer
The next day was a morning of home ed type stuff. BB and I did cello and piano practice. I am glad that we have fixed [currently] her if-it-isnt-perfect-first-time-i-cant-do-it mentality, as she is working much better, and the practices are now on average 15 mins playing and 5 fiddling rather than 5 playing and 30 wailing! And she is enjoying it and feeling proud of how she is doing even better . It does mean i have taken my eye off SB’s piano, and i need to remedy this after we return from kentwell. Both girls did a couple of pieces of bookish stuff as well, as we had had a relaxed week and a big outing, but in a fairly relaxed way in the lovely conservatory. I did prune the grapevine, and BB made the trimmings into a nest!!
SB and I then played a long game of Caylus, which was a gift from my brother in law it was a draw. then SB and I did just dance together. SHe is working on geting me fit again. Lovely girl . BB rampaged around the garden.
The next day was a gardening day as my migraine was receding – woohoo! We all went out, weeded, SB and BB completed the planting up of their beds. I did some potting on and some hoeing. This big photo just makes me smile. A lovely day chatting and being with the girls in the sun. I am so very lucky
And finally the goodbye – tho only temporary! zoe and family from le ciel rouge have come to the end of their home edding days, it has worked really well for them, and they have been brilliant cheerleaders and encouragers and their children have grown and now are spreading their wings and finishing their education in school. Before they school they are having a final fling of freedom and travelling abroad, so we had a goodbye dinner before they went.
Have a fab time guys!
