Half term news

Been a very busy half term. Weather has been fabulous. Other than birthday capers as below the kids have been playing HARD. They went to Duxford Imperial War Museum on Tuesday, which concentrates on aeroplanes. They love it there, as does there father, I have been once and thats enough for me. To add an extra dimension to it,they of course had to go on the bus (no car still - though we have now got and cashed the insurance cheque). The bus trip turned out to be over an hour and then you have to cycle from town - its about 15-20 mins from here in the car. But they enjoyed the novelty. On Wed they went to see Wallace and Grommit which is apparently great, and then had some friends for a sleepover - which all went really well. J had tried to sleepover a couple of nights earlier at these friends place, but failed to stay the distance (again). Today its been full bore playing and then J and I went to see 'Vile Victorians' at the Theatre, an adaption of the Horrible Histories series. They are doing Victorian times at school this year. It was actually pretty good. M very peeved that she couldnt go - said for 7+ and definitely right, she would have been a bit scared by it all. Back to school on Monday, and then under 7 weeks until we leave for Oz!
