Mud & Mischief

It’s been a pretty good half term, all things considered.

Monday started off the week on an excellent note, as Bronwen and her tribe of five came to visit for the day and we had a lovely time. We ate sushi and the kids scoffed home made bread and generally ran amok. Nine kids and they were brilliantly behaved - we hardly heard them a lot of the time.

Tuesday and it was off to a toddler group meet up at the local soft play. I say local, it’s about 13 miles away, but it’s the only decent one anywhere near here. I really much look into opening one up a bit closer to home… But the girls all had a blast and Robin discovered the toddler area. Was a much needed day out for grown up conversation and to catch up with a bunch of friends that I feel that I’ve lost contact with as of late. I gave one friend a lift and spent another hour at her house drinking tea, so didn’t get home until gone 4pm. Good day.

Wednesday was an ‘at home’ day, where I tried to catch up on laundry etc. Almost succeeded too.

Thursday, Valentine’s Day, James was rushed off his feet, but we went to Sarah’s instead. Came home via Lembas to pick up rice milk and porridge oats and flour.

Today, Sarah came here with her two, and we were joined by Nikki and her two youngest. Sarah’s eldest Dino cleaned out my chooks for me too, so that was hugely appreciated

So, two parties tomorrow, one each for Tea and Piglet; my bestest oldest friend is coming up from Birmingham with her three (soon to be four) and James has decided to take the day off. Thank goodness for that!

School on Monday *:sigh:* Oh well, just four weeks until Easter after that, as it’s ridiculously early this year.
