busy week, busy weekend

Tues was pottery group for BB, and she brought back a fair bit of work already done. SHe really enjoys pottery :)

my parents came up to visit, having holidayed in turkey. Dad did some garden tidying up for us, mum some music practice with the girls. We had some good chatting in the evening, and they found out about en famille – slightly less shocking that home ed it seems :) . Lovely seeing my parents, we just don’t do it quite enough really. And I got a present – some pomegranite and pistacio turkish delight – yum :) [i only like proper turkish delight]

Saturday we went out to kentwell open day. I had a storming migraine of massive proportions [which ended up lasting 5 days - grr!] and so mostly sat in my chair trying out the appearance of human ;) However, looking forward to Kentwell in the summer – do come and visit! As we left it suddenly tipped it down in mega flood proportions and then hailed – fabulous. It immediately reminded me of duke of edinburgh award :)


The day after was our en famille home visit. Ever since SB has had friends going off doing en famille exchanges, i have always been pleased she has shown no interest whatsoever. However, last year she declared she was ready to go, to the point that she got the forms and filled them out. SO we did too. I have to saythat i will miss her massively if we get matched, am not sure the whole 6 months away is bearable, and worth it for me, even if she would speak fluent french on return. However, for her, she is absolutely sure this is something that she would love to try. S here goes, we have applied, been to meetings, and now had our home visit. Hopefully that went ok too. not sure what they are looking for! SB made fab choc pudding again tho, that may be a swaying factor in her benefit ;)

i did some gardening, sweetcorn second lot sown now as well. Next thing to do will be potting out and on the toms etc.
