On Saturday there were bluebells

Ady was QVCing in the morning so the children and I did some TV watching, some baking and plenty of lazing around drinking tea (me) and playing (them). Ady got home around 130pm and we headed straight out to the site of our regular Bluebell and Not Bluebell Walks of the last couple of years.

There were some bluebells but definitely less than last year which in turn had less than the year before. Certainly not carpets of them like you used to see in the spring. It was a lovely walk just the same though with tree climbing and general silliness. Ady’s got (another) new work camera which has a self timer facility with six shots straight after each other which just begs for pulling a series of silly poses. Which we were happily doing amidst the bluebells when some people arrived along the path forcing us to try and remain straight faced infront of them for the six shots, the results of which I think are even funnier 😆

Scarlett had a few Scarletty moments:

Davies enjoyed pretending to ‘go alien’ at various points (Ben 10 :roll:)

And then we started playing with the cameras and perspective when I accidentally took a photo which looked like Scarlett was holding a miniature Davies:

so we tried to set up some deliberate shots like that:

We also took some silly shots of feet and I made everyone duck at the duck sign 🙂

On the last leg of the walk Davies found a skeleton of either a small snake or a lizard (without feet, which makes it more likely to have been a snake really). We happened upon a Sussex Wildlife worker just afterwards so Davies went marching up to him to show him his find and ask him if he knew any more about it. I love how the children are so confident of talking to people 🙂

Although Davies did say the man didn’t know anymore than he did about snakes and lizards :lol:.

It was nearly 530pm and I’d promised the children the next nice evening we had I’d take them to eat fish and chips on the beach so we planned to do that but a quick twitter check showed Dr Who was starting within the hour so we came home and picked up fish and chips on the way for them instead.

Somehow the evening ran away from us and Ady and I didn’t end up eating our own dinner until about 11pm.
