Day 4: in the garden

Day 3: to the library

The kids are taking part in the summer reading challenge, Circus Stars - this is the scene when we got back from the library with their books.

Day 2: to the farm

Running round and round and round and round the kitchen garden at the farm.

First (real full) day of the summer holidays

And we went 'sploring. Failed to wear them out - I'm knackered.

What the..? Doing a bit of weeding in front of the house and found this hidden in amongst the self-seeded whatever-it-is - not sure if it's part of it or separate and no idea what it is (they are?).

School finished at lunchtime so we headed to the farm with Uncle Skipalong.
