Bluet's Poetry Reading

 Here is Bluet reading us two poems over zoom from today's poetry celebration at school

10!

This weekend Bluet turned 10 (ten!). We had a small celebration with cake etc in the evening with another family, and Bluet spent most of the rest of the day using her new roller blades.

Fairfield Beach

 

We recently discovered there’s a nice beach just 30 mins from our house, so yesterday as the girls are off school for ‘spring break’ I took them there to enjoy the beach, and later to hang out with their friends. It’s still a little cold for swimming but they did at least have swimming costumes under their dresses and even got a little very mild sunburn

 

Ilona’s school work

Ilona brings us home some of her school work that makes us laugh. Here are 3 of her finest examples, and a picture she drew of her favourite tv character from her head  

Spring

Time for our annual 'spring has sprung' post as the sun melts the last of the snow (a tiny patch of which had been with us since before Xmas, this was the coldest/snowiest winter since we moved here). The kids on the first sunny day immediately ran outside and started playing various sports and games, and climbed their favourite trees for the first time this year. We also had a BBQ, in traditional British 'its the first day of the year that isn't below freezing, let's BBQ' tradition.
