Another gorgeous day. Dave planned to get on with building some walls in the garden so I got the kids painting easel set up outside so that they could paint in the sunshine and watch! They both got some big green 'painting t-shirts' on and off they went. Ben's t-shirt almost drowns him but at least it keeps the rest of him relatively clean. They both painted a masterpiece and then went on to dig holes instead and help me with hanging the washing. We also managed to fit in making chcolate brownies while cooking dinner!

This evening we were planning to go over to Brockhole and have a picnic tea by the lake but decided that Ben was shattered and it got a bit chilly. So instead we had a lovely picnic in the garden at the side of our house with a small bonfire going. Apart from the road running past it is very peaceful here.
