We had a really good time yesterday swimming up at Penrith then on to the Home Ed get together there. Both Ben and Eilidh are getting more confident in the water, Eilidh was even putting her whole face in and blowing bubbles.

Today was back at Steve's to attack the garden again. Dave got the part for his chainsaw this morning so we could get on with taking down the rest of the trees to let some more light through. It all went really well, no damage done with falling trees and no casualties until Dave slipped on some stone steps and bashed his back! He's a bit bruised and sore but hopefully will be alright for tomorrow. Here are some pictures of some of Steve's garden, he also had loads of woodland as well, great for building dens!

Eilidh and Ben played Snakes and Ladders with Joel (Ben won) and then they found some Thomas the Tank Engine bits on YouTube. Both of them helped pulling branches out for us and then decided to play Robin Hood in the woods. Steve supplied us all with chips and biscuits and kept me going with coffee again, bless him!! It was a good day, we got loads done today and feel shattered again tonight. Although I feel a bit guilty not doing much with the kids, they love going to Steve's to see the boys and it won't be for too long and as we are both working on the garden, we are both getting paid!! Hurrah!!
