Yesterday was back to gardening as the weather was lovely again. Taking down more trees, Joel has dubbed us the tree murderers!

Today I went with the kids to do one of our cottages while Dave took our 'new' car down for an MOT. We have had this car sat outside our house for about six months, it belonged to a friend from church who had nowhere to put it and no money to fix it. In the end he decided we could have it as he is now getting married and getting a truck instead! So we got a free car (Renault Laguna) which didn't need too much doing to it...hurrah! Well, it passed after a few technicalities so it will soon be sorted out for the road and I will be mobile again. Thanks Rob!!

Ben decided he wanted to see his Phonics videos again so they both sat and watched them again this afternoon. Ben is very proud of the fact that he can 'read' some words now so I shall have to find some easy books for him to try soon.
