It’s half term and two of our lovely Live Wires are with us. I’ve been making a balaclava in Arsenal colours for J. It fits and J is delighted with it.
The balaclava fits!
We baked this morning.
Flower pot buns
The sun shone and we played on the beach in real warmth which was so welcome.
Digging
We have started a serialisation of ‘Stig of the Dump’ by Clive King this evening and Chapter 1 has gone down so well, Chapter 2 is being read in bed as I write! It was a great favourite with our four when they were little too and a joy to read again.

“Stig of the Dump” – what a great book. It has been a favourite with children for so long. When I first starting teaching decades ago I often read Stig to the class, then when our own children were the right age it became a bed time favourite. It is so good to know it is still being enjoyed.

Both of us read also to classes at school and then to our four and now J is enjoying it too. The sign of a classic, I think. 🙂

The hat reminds me of some my mother made oh so many years ago. I don’t really remember mine, only pictures of me wearing it. She would have been 87 last week. Thanks for bringing forth a pleasant memory.

It is the good memories from events like this that become our real treasures.
