We’d had a plan to go to Paradise Park on Wednesday and meet up with Ali and Freya, but they couldn’t make it and in the end no-one (well certainly not Barbara and I anyway) was up that early!.
I made pancakes for a lateish lunch with the eggs that the girls had found in the garden in a new place one of the hens had found to lay in. I realised we’d run out of milk (mostly Scarlett I think who wasn’t eating at dinnertime and was then getting hungry due to being up so late and drinking loads of milk) so had to nip to the shops for more supplies.
We decided some fresh air and exercise would do everyone good so headed up to the allotment so Barbara and Chris could have a look and we walked up the hill from there into the woodlands for a play. Davies, Scarlett and Ben found a ‘secret’ pathway that had been created by fallen trees and Davies insisted on walking me round it. I say walking but actually a fair bit of it had to be negotiated on my hands and knees! Suitably fresh aired and exercised we headed back home again for pizza for dinner for kids.
It being the last night they were all not at their best and didn’t manage to agree on a film to watch in bed collectively until it became clear that it was compromise over a film or have no film. Scarlett and Davies lasted longest and both were still awake long after the other three had crashed out. Grr.
I managed to pack clothes and stuff for the weekend and Barbara and I manhandled the tent back into it’s bag as it’d been draped around the playroom recovering from Shell Island. Still sand in the tent bag! 😆 I cleaned out the chicks who were very smelly and are about to be moved outside.
We also had pizza for dinner and as I was working the following day I insisted on an early night – 2am! Which we managed, just! Chris stayed up chatting with us and we had a really last evening.
