Pumpkin Carving with Noah

Halloween in Cheltenham

As Lincoln City were playing Cheltenham away, we decided to visit Uncle Dean, Auntie Chrissie and cousin Lucy in Cheltenham.  I must admit to being bored with all the football talk (Lincoln lost!) but on the Sunday we had a brilliant time at Primrose Vale and their Halloween trail (ideas to be pinched for our party!).  See: http://primrosevale.com/  

York Trip With School

And then, after we took Jamie out of school for one day, to see York, where do they decide to go for their trip this year?  YORK....  Although they did get to do more that we did as school took them on an archaeological dig.   And Jamie said he really enjoyed it (except perhaps the bus journey!).

Blakeney (again)

Every year we initially say No to Norfolk, but come nearer the time we always end up saying Yes.  And Why No?  Jamie loves it and so do we!!

Children's Holiday Club

As usual, Jamie wanted to attend the Children's Holiday Club that is run by the Christian Churches of the town.  He always makes lots of friends and has a great time.  It runs for just over 2 hours every day for four days.

This time the theme was 'Seaside Rock' and as part of this he brought home 'Fish and Chips', but they were not all as they seemed....

However, on the last of the four days I went along and had real fish and chips with all the other parents, children and organisers.  Very nice....

Junior Poacher 2017

Many years ago Mummy attended Poacher as a Guide for a week.  When the Beavers announced that they were going to the Junior Poacher Day I could not resist offering to help out. I had to ring in work and make up some excuse as someone else had already booked it off, but I wasn't going to miss it for the world!   The Beavers did crafts, zorbing, met some large totoises and Jamie was the punch bag Champion.   At lunch we went and ate our sarnies on the Scouts campsite which took me back - although it was so much more comfortable than the old tents I remember!  We were also lucky enough to meet up with uncle Michael who was there as a Scout leader and cousin Noah with his Beavers.  A tiring but fantastic day!
