Sorry, (correction) pictures!

Just discovered Dave took some pictures on Thursday when he took the kids for a walk down to Cumbria Wildlife Trust which is just down the road from us, they love to look around the wildlife pond & see if there is any conservation work going on then to look around the gardens which are very beautifully planted with mature trees & shrub gardens, as well as flower beds with loads of info plaques.

1.Eilidh & Ben looking for life in the pond 2.Eilidh & Ben find a water snail on a leaf. 3.Ben suggests there is something very big in the woods, Eilidh says there is a lovely water snail on a big water lily leaf in the middle of the pond, can daddy get it for her - daddy says "No" - surprised?

They then went on over to Plumbgarths Farm Shop for some eggs & anything from the reduced range (they are a bit pricey otherwise) & came back with a nice cake & some yummy biscuits which the kids love but almost break their teeth (Ben took 2 days to eat one!!!).

The last two days have been quite uninteresting, stayed at home as Dave's shoulder is still not right. The truck needs some work doing to it as it needs to get through the MOT so Dave has been trying to do this (one handed!) Eilidh and Ben have been busy doing some more of their lanterns, playing, putting on dancing shows (best not to ask!) and playing on the computer. Eilidh also helped Dave measure up some outside lights today and then willingly did some sums to add all the measurements up. I got back from doing a cottage clean and she was very proud of herself!!

They were also busy yesterday making a tin can telephone and then spent an hour decorating them. Small things.........
