Our catch!

Alfie tea! Hand caught by him and his Dad at Bognor!

Bognor

Today we went shrimping at Bognor beach where the water was lovely - warm enough to swim!

Cinema

This afternoon Alfie and I went to see this film . Another lovely family film which we both enjoyed!

Diving

As it rained ,Alfie spent this afternoon having great fun and adventures with action man in the bath!

Something horrid.....

...has bitten me and it hurts!

Leek Wars

We had lots of fun this afternoon playing Star wars type games with the leeks!

Wet anyway...

Today although it has stopped raining, Alfie and I went swimming at Horsham and got wet that way instead!

Exhausted

Today I feel like this statue....

Chessington.........again!

Annual pass means cheap day out! Chessington again today and it was good as there were no queues today! Alfie is becoming so independant now he rides this flume ride alone!

Bugs

Here is our new "Bug Ampitheatre"! We are hoping it attracts moths as it has a solar powered lamp in the top and all sorts of hiding holes for other various insects!

Tomatoes

The outside tomatoes were planted today.

Planting Time

This year Alfie planted a marrow for the first time!

Proud Mum and Dad!

We are very proud tonight after seeing Alfie enrolled at Beavers!

Cricket

As the cricket season returns Dave and Alfie start practising .....

Late

A funny story - Today was the start of "Walk to School" week so a friend parked her car in the village and proceded to walk her daughter to school.When they reached school (at one minute past nine) they were approached by a women wearing a WSCC jacket and holding a clipboard.

Thinking they were going to be congratulated for their efforts to walk to school, they were instead asked for their names and told they were being noted as being a "late attender"!!!!!!!!!!!!

To add insult they were also given a fact sheet with suggestions for organising themselves to get to school on time in future!

I wonder if this WSCC lady will be at Gatwick when we return from our holiday.....

Tomb Blaster!!!

Today Alfie and I made our first trip alone to Chessington without Dave! I personally thought the drive on the M25 the worst ride, but Alfie and I enjoyed this one too...........note my fantastic score!

Dirty feet

Why is my son always S0 grubby.......!

Give generously.....

Its Christian Aid week!

Takeaway

Yum! Yum! Chinese takeaway this evening!

School

Today I did an extra dinnerlady shift at school. It was a lovely sunny day and the children were good and there was enough staff for a change!

Tea and Coffee

It was nice meeting up with Kathryn this morning and thinking about our camping trip!

School Trip to Seven Sisters Country Park

Today we went on Alfie's summer school trip to the Seven Sisters Country Park near Newhaven. It was a lovely sunny day and all the children enjoyed exploring the rock pools !

Happy Birthday Dad!

Alfie helps Grandad Popeye blow out all those candles!

My two boys!

My two sons - I am very proud of them and love them lots!

Just for me!

Well I never - look at this - just my type of set! I think I wouls include a rolling pin though - good for banging in nails......

Noisy Kids

We took Connor and Alfie to see the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at the Hawth where they had fun learning all about Superheroes and some of the music they have inspired. Great fun!

More water fun

Connor came for a sleepover last night and the boys had lots of fun today in the water and sun in the garden.

Fun in the Sun

Great fun this afternoon when we turned the climbing frame and slide into a water park!

Stick People

Here are Dave and I with a couple of metal stick people obviously based on us!

Memory seat!

This is Alfie looking through one of the wooden scultures called Cellular Memory Seat!

Borde Hill

Today we went to Borde Hill and looked at the sculptures set in the garden - I thought this one could have been based on myself. It was lovely and tactile and you just wanted to stroke its curves!

Steam Train

Today we went to Goffs Park and rode on the mini train and spent a lovely afternoon doing nothing much else except relaxing on a picnic rug whilist Alfie played happily in the park and rode on his bike - Bliss!

Healthy Eating

Alfie is preparing for his "Healthy Eating" badge at Beavers so here he is with a sandwich he made himself!

Summers here again!

Yes - time to paint my toenails !

Here are Dave and I relaxing after the climbing fame rebuilding- taken by Alfie from the top!

New climbing frame additions!

Thanks to Freecycle we have added several new climbing bits to Alfies frame - this new monkey bar,a scramble net and a very steep slide - whoopee! what fun for a little boy !!!!!
