Spring Bank Holiday!!

I'm Bored!!  So, in between the rain, we managed to get an hour (ish) at the Witham St Hughs 'Spring Fayre'.  At least we made it out of the house.

Victorian School Day

Today Jamie's school had a 'Victorian School Day', where everyone had to dress as a Victorian school child.  During the day the aim was for children to experience what school was like for children during this time.

During the day (I was told) the children took part in the 3R's - Reading, Writing and Arithmetic.  They also experienced lessons like dictation and drill.  Hopefully Jamie now realises how lucky he is to be born now.

Jamie couldn't wait when he got home to tell us all about one of his classmates who had to wear a Dunces hat all morning!!

Trip to Hunstanton

Friday, not only was it Good Friday, but it was also our dear friend Cobb's 50th birthday, so we all decided to go to Hunstanton for the day.  We were very lucky with the weather.  Had fish and chops on the beach, as well as our usual donuts!  Not so lucky when one of the cars didn't start on the way back (travel kettles fault) but a quick jump-start and we were soon back home.

Easter Trip to Rand Farm

Had a brilliant day out at Rand Farm https://randfarmpark.com/  with cousins Noah and Seth.

Frontline Combat Party

Jamie wanted a Frontline Combat party with all his pals. It was loud, aggressive and they loved it!!

 Jamie asked for a cake with Pewdiepie on.  Never heard of him myself, but here it is:

Happy 10th Birthday Jamie

On his actual birthday we had a little party with a little cake and presents (of course).

 He is having a party with all his pals at the weekend.
