Trevor seemed to have a lot of produce (especially rhubarb), so after breakfast and the rain, we dug some potatoes with the kids, I picked some rhubarb and lovely onions..Sunshine was responsible for the apples!
Thanks Elizabeth & Trevor!
As the last Harry Potter has finally been released (and out for a couple of weeks!), I decide that it was high time to read the penultimate tome "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince". Ok, so I am little behind the times...anyway...it was ok, the end was a definite lead into the final chapter of the long-running saga. I have a feeling that Harry could be a horcrux, but I could be wrong! I'm going to have to read the last installment for completeness, but I can wait until it's out in paperback (as I like to maintain the look on my bookshelf!)
Peter was a bit fed up with me spending any spare time I had with Harry Potter, and has challenged me to read a Robert Ludlum novel as his mum has a complete collection. I have accepted this challenge....watch this space!
Last week Peter and I took a weeks holiday...initially we were going to go away but we ended up staying at home and having a few days out with Sunshine and doing stuff around the house. Sunshine will tell you all about the fun stuff we did!
As the weather was so lovely, we finally erected the gazebo and table we purchased at the end of last summer....Hmm...the gazebo is rather grand (i.e. probably a little too big for the garden) but houses the table nicely...so whilst the weather was lovely we enjoyed some al fresco dining!
Tuesday was a fun day for us because we had the day to ourselves...so after dropping Sunshine off with her child-minder, we had a round (9 holes) of golf at Windlemere. This was quite a momentous occasion as it has been well over 2.5 years since I picked up my clubs, what with being pregnant then out of commission with my back! Anyhow I managed to bag a couple of bogies and actually one a hole from Peter....who incidentally seemed to be playing down to my level and had the most disgraceful of scores (he said) since we first started playing! Now we just need to find time to go play again....
After that we had lunch out which was a nice unhurried, relaxed affair at Pizza Express. Whilst we were in town, the Early Learning Centre did very well...and so did Sunshine! I felt a bit like a mean Mummy as she didn't have many outside type toys...so her birthday came early! We spent the afternoon assembling stuff and Peter had fun destroying the 'clutter table' which used to hog the conservatory...Sunshine has more room to play in now and an inside place to paint!
We went to the beach and I protected my lovely Sunshine from the harmful rays with Factor 50+....and then stupidly wiped my hand on my shoulder...
These white stripes are not cool!
Yet another of my airport buys...this is fab! Especially if you are a cricket fan...
It is really fun from start to nearly the end....I say nearly the end, because the afterword is sad as the Author actually died after writing this book (but I was warned, so it wasn't a surprise!).
Anyway, the story of a village cricket team playing it's way round the world and all the trouble and strife that goes along with it! Brill!
I forgot to mention that it's a true story...a sort of travelogue/memoir if you will...
