I'm feeling very self righteous tonight as we seem to have got a lot done today and had a good day as well!! This morning Dave went off to sort out the rest of the caravan and take it to be scrapped so we decided to get on with some 'work'. Eilidh and Ben worked on finishing their Swallows and Amazons projects.

We then decided to pack a rucksack with supplies and leaf spotting booklets etc and went out for another walk. We went up our back field, over the top of the crag, past a cairn and headed down towards the footbridge over the main road from Kendal.It was gorgeous today, really sunny but still lovely and fresh...perfect walking weather! The kids spent about half an hour standing on the footbridge waving to all the cars and lorries rushing past underneath them. I think everyone must have been in a good mood as most of them waved, tooted or flashed their lights!! We then headed back down towards the farm shop, through a farmyard and fields of sheep and cows to get something for lunch. On the way we stopped to do some tree bark rubbing (Eilidh's idea!) After having a wander around the Cumbria Wildlife Trust place picking up lots of autumn leaves we went home for lunch.

They had both enjoyed the Swiss plaited Bread yesterday so we decided to have a go at making some more after lunch. They both had their own dough to make into shapes and plaits, they all came out really well! While the dough had been rising they got on with making a autumn tree picture with all the leaves they had collected and the bark rubbings. It is now proudly displayed in our kitchen!! It's been a really good day and I think we are all shattered tonight!!
