We came home to a letter from school saying Roman has been nominated for an award at the school awards evening. Well done Roman! xx

We had breakfast outside again today.

We went to the car boot sale which was HUGE. Almost two hours walking around. Roman bought Donald Duck Disney Infinity character.

We had lunch at the caravan and was home for approx 3.30pm.

Mark filmed us taking the gazebo down and sped it up. This made us laugh!

It was beautifully warm and sunny this morning so we ate breakfast outside.

First stop was Tesco, I bought some trainers.

Second stop was Coughton Court. We got there for when it opened so were the first few people to go round the house. We did the grounds too and then came back to the caravan for lunch.

The rest of the afternoon was spent in the caravan. Mom, dad, Jordan, Dylan and Lexi came to visit.

For tea we had another BBQ, chicken kebabs (mushrooms for me) with Mediterranean cous cous, salad and a cheesy garlic bread.

After tea we took a walk into Studley. Anais and Roman had a slush to cool them down and we bought a rhubarb pie from the Co-op which we had with strawberries and ice-cream when we got back.

Another beautiful night tonight. It is currently 10.28 and Mark, Anais and Roman are still sat outside watching bats. Anais has been reading (and almost finished) a book. Mark and Roman made this with K'nex. Full explanation on Romans blog as to what it is!

Anais and I went shopping this morning. I bought this, £10 reduced from £25 in Argos. My other mini blender broke and I can't use the hand blender as I melted the wire when the hob was on.

Forgot to post photos of the finished "Nuts" blanket so while it was sunny earlier I took it into the garden.

Ends sewn in to the four hexagons I made yesterday.

New project started, a mini Sophies Universe using crochet thread and a 1.5mm hook.

To the end of part one.

To the end of part 2.

Anais made Roman some Lego fact cards for a quiz and laminated them through the laminator.

Today was day 2 at Legoland when we went three years ago.

Mark was in a meeting all day in Milton Keynes. He got back at 6.40pm.

The four hexagons I started yesterday got finished with all ends sewn in too. These were block 4, "Rosa".

Another four hexagons started today, block 5, "Heart Rose". So many ends to sew in tomorrow.

I made eight banana muffins as we had an over ripe banana. They were a weird texture as I forgot to put butter in but tasted very nice.

Very late this evening Roman came downstairs to tell us his tooth had come out.

Anais and I were going to go shopping this morning but it was heavy rain so we stayed in instead. I had a mini sort out and have some things to take to the charity shop.

Roman made jam buns at school which we delicious. They tasted like scones but with jam cooked inside them. Even Anais enjoyed them.

I pulled an old project out to continue with and got this far. I almost finished four hexagons but gave up as crocheting with black at night is HARD!

Today three years ago we went to Legoland.

Forgot to post this last week. Laura loved the baby shower cake!

Anais and I caught the bus into town. We did some shopping and found the court ready for jury service in September.

Good news I am allowed to take my crochet hooks though have to leave them in a locker.

This evening Mark and I took the milk tetra packs to the tip to be recycled. SIXTY, yes SIXTY cartons and one apple carton saved from going to landfill.

I had such a good nights sleep last night, love my caravan bed!

We had breakfast in the sun and then made a picnic. We drove to Evesham, parked by the river, had a walk around the town and then sat for three hours in the park. We all caught the sun.

On the way back we stopped off at Tesco for some ice-creams and something for tea (vegetarian pasta pesto).

We had tea in the sun and then after tea decided to walk the 3.38 miles to Studley and back to the caravan which took just over an hour.

Anais and I cam in a little earlier tonight. Mark stayed outside playing K-Nex with Roman.

A really lovely day :-)

Last night we found TWENTY ONE bars of individual wrapped chocolate bars on Romans school bag. We ate some of them and I chopped some of them up and made this chocolate biscuit cake with them today.

We made a last minute decision to use the caravan for the weekend and got here approx 5.30.

We had a BBQ and had tea outside.

After tea we played ball and trivia games and finally went in approx 9pm tonight.
