as it is sooooo cold! and i have got soft with a few days in my parents’ lovely warm house. we had a lovely time. lousy weather though! at least sat not so bad. we went to the chiltern sculpture park. having been to the yorkshire one, it is a bit low on sculpture scoring, but a really great walk in the wood. my sis and her 2 were there too. all the kids had a wonderful time running around, climbing trees, interacting with what sculptures we found. photos to follow
i had told Sb about how much fun i had cycling in the block and cul-de sacs where i grew up, so we took her bike, and she took what opportunities she could between torrential downpours to bike about. Also lots of reading, drwing and games. 2 violin practices. mum thought she held the violin well [phew] but was uncertain about the playing frere jaques in time. we will continue to practice! it will be slow!
BB and cousin E were having great fun together playing games . BB surprised us all by counting down the stairs to 14 – how did she learn that? Also trying out te alphat – poisson rouge! no idea of colours though.
t-bird – my mum has never heard of cutting down violin strings in all her years as a violin teacher.
back home, and beans squashed flat by winds, but sure they will pick up. chris’s parents have been past and done a bit of a tidy for us – thankyou v much to both sets of parents this weekend!
