Lovely mud socks on our first really warm day out. Modelled here by Teagan but sported children and adults alike. A wonderful day by the Burn at Carlops and my first walk after the knee op. We returned refreshed, muddy and covered in freckles.
This is the hill that Annie and Afra climbed. The wee ones all alone off on an expedition. Can you spot them. This is the tree that Tom and Teagan climbed.

Birthday Girl
Annie is 5. That feels very grown up. This is Annie decorating her cake (note her new top) and then blowing out her candles. The last picture is Tom Afra and Annie at a photo shoot for Historic Scotland. posing with a giant egg. They were paid in chocolate eggs. We got to drive right up to The Esplanade to park, very grand. Thanks to Sarah for cappaccino (sp?) with a view in the castle cafe and for reminding me to have fun and enjoy the whole experience instead of worrying if they were doing what the photographer wanted and thanks for thinking of us too.

Annie chose these pictures of Grannie working hard looking after us all.
Tom and Annie had eye tests and will soon be sporting glasses. They are both very pleased.
Annie has used fabric crayons to make a Fairy mat. It has a path, a garden, a maze, a parking space and a field. Tom has designed a town.
I have shelves and a table in my crafty space and now need to arrange my things and start making things.

Knee is operated on and on the mend, normal service will resume shortly for the meantime wonderful Grannie Minehead (my Mum) is doing everything, children, house, food and (rather grumpy) me. I must post a picture of superwoman.

Pixar Exhibition
Off to the Chamber Street Museum today to see the Pixar Exhibition. For free as an educational group. We were mesmerised by the rapidly turning Toy Story show. Stationary models that on being whizzed round appeared to jump, run on balls, throw lassos, parachute and more.
The sun was shining so we went out for some running about and climbing trees and grave stones in Greyfriars Church Yard. Train home to tea and reading 'The Long Winter' Laura Ingalls Wilder. Next I'll try photos but how to attatch them?

Posting Faff
Having set up this blog I have not been able to get into it to add any more but here goes...
Our latest project is speaking as much French as possible at home. With two English-plus-a-smattering-of-school-French parents this will be a big learning experience for all of us.
Home-ed stretches your mind. Not least to find sources of second hand French stuff.
An extended game of Risk with 2 players and 4 sides is going on in the sittingroom and the clutter remains to be de-cluttered so,
Au revoir
