my daughters woke me up with their giggling and wiggling, and went downstairs with dad. good, i thought, brekkie in bed. BB came back up and we played loads of silly games in bed, and i got up. SB and BB had made lovely cards for me, and bought me some snazzy new wellies. [as heavilly hinted!]
migraine had luckily gone
chris cooked a breakfast and we tried to get out! happy birthday family phone calls, and herding children, we set of to ely , to see cathedral, city etc. we mostly saw cathedral, did a lot of talking round the outside looking at architecture, different styles, spotting where bits have ‘gone’. we had a lovely lunch and went into cathedral, and SB – as always – was most impressed. the girls did HE proud with looking up at ceilings and windows etc, with various sagagroups going ahh at them! we enjoyed the stained glass window museum. both girls got quite a lot out of it. lady selling tickets obviously not seen a child for a while!
A jolly wander through the town with a cake stop, and back in time to deposit SB and chris at rainbows. BB and i made a rather fab pink and choc marble cake. took a piccie which to me looks like convection in action. chris denies convection currents happen in cake making?? we read some lovely books, and all then enjoyed teatime. SB and BB got the final bit of the playmerrily order, and SB ecstatic with elves, and BB with dinodors . i love the idea of leg warminators by the way!!
SB and i now reading sir gawain and green knight by morpurgo as bedtime story, and really enjoying it. giggled through the apprentice! HONESTLY!
