C2 had a jolly sports day, winning a 1st for his efforts in the obstacle race, and losing with a grin when he lost his spud in the 'spud'n'spoon' race.
Pre-birthday visits from Auntie and Grandad provided C1 with some lovely birthday surprises.
Mr ASDA arrived almost immediately after the departure of the family visitors, so we now have the necessary ingredients for the Knickerbocker Glory-fest and other birthday-related 'stuff'.
A lot of fun was had by C1 and C2 in the paddling pool before, during, and after tea. Doing the 'science bit' with washing-up bowls, a bit of a vacuum and some serious bubble blowing - I am sure I am a frustrated home-schooler!!! (Calm down - it's really NOT an option!).
I am loving receiving emailed photos from Mummy.
First we had the stately demise of a beautiful rose...

| THE END |
Beautiful summery visuals. I would like to make a crochet 'something' using these colours.
Had a lovely offer from one of C1's friend's mummy to share the transport tomorrow for the cinema excursion. I am grateful and relieved, as the quotes I had from various taxi firms were hair-raising! Offer accepted, and she will be plied with an icecream sundae with an extra cherry or strawberry when we get home!
All in all, a lovely day.
Topping this, a pitch has been found, on a site in the middle of nowhere for our 'back to basics' camping experiment, with the prospect of a more 'reasonable and comfortable' experience later this year somewhere in the Gower area. There is nothing like a spot of anticipation to make life more interesting, and this is one of those YOLO moments that I was going on about a while back. Hoorah for a chemical toilet with matching tent, a stand pipe and a stripey wind-break.
