OK OK, I have missed out the home ed during the week. I know it happened! I can’t really remember what, and will come back to here to update when raided the phone and camera for photos and slot in a post! i do know that we had a weds4ed, so that will def have to have a slot!
However, on Friday we went down to my parents for a visit. Nice straight run there and no hold ups on the M25 – always nice
and we got there late evening for tea and bed. the next day we went to the nearest town so the girls could enjoy bowling with grandad, and then had an early fathers day meal at Frankie and Bennies – which we all really enjoyed. Rather amazingly BB won the bowling! it was a close run thing, and DH thinks he will have the rails up next time he plays
. Mum and I did some sneaky shopping in M and S and then cheered them on
After lunch we went to West Wycombe caves and the Hellfyre club. It is quite different to places we have visited, and BB and SB interested, but forgot that FrB is ultra sensitive to creepy. It really isn’t that creepy, but she was quite quick to come out and have an icecream
Told them all the history tho, and it is pretty cheap visit and quite interesting for a short hop!
SUnday we went to Waddesdon manor, home of the de rothschilds. it was fantabulous! luckilly National trust – we have really made use of our national trust cards this year! It is sort of designed to be a pseudo french chateau, and having visited lots of mediaeval castles, i thought we were due a more modern look! The house was really interesting, and the guides informative. We loved nosing in the rooms. FrB has really got the hang of talking to all the guides and experts. She had visited a rotshchild residence in the south of france and was comparing and contrasting. After the house we had a picnic in the gardens before going onto the play area, where the girls spent quite some time having fun
. We finished in the stableyard looking at a roman mosaic imported from Israel. [oh and the had an icecream as it was a really hot day!]
We had a lovely weekend at mum and dad’s
thankyou [will add pics as available]
