Wednesday 29th April: Did I mention rain, or the lack of it, yesterday? Well minutes after I posted the blog last night it began raining, and 24 hours later it's still going! Today's high temperature was 12 degrees and the chickens have been poddling round in a mud bath.
We schooled in the morning and the boys scooted through their work so we had time to do some baking in the morning. A friend came round for lunch. Her husband and 3 children all have gluten-free diets so she really relished the fresh loaf of bread and coconut cookies we had for lunch!
After lunch we played a board game called The Amazing Mammoth Hunt. It's a game that helps you learn where countries are on the world map and it kept us busy for over an hour. We walked to Keas and today was Jonathan's first session. Edward and I sat in a back room and worked on some of his Cub badges for the hour.
For tea we had our sausages. What a success! They were gorgeous, and the skins were easy to cut. They boys are already offering ideas for what we can try next but we'll wait until the pork shoulder joint is on special offer again. Pudding was a yummy chocolate slice that Edward made this morning.
The photo shows him making the coconut cookies we ate earlier.
