Bank Holiday Monday xx

We are home now after a lovely three nights away for the bank holiday weekend.  We did consider going out for the day and coming home late this afternoon.  We thought while it was sunny we would take advantage of the sunny weather though and come home early to mow the lawn in the back garden which is long overdue.

We left approx 12.30pm.  On the way home we stopped off at Halfords and picked Roman up some new brake levers for his new bike after he crashed it yesterday and ripped one off.  Mark stopped off at Maplins too and brought some new rechargable batteries for his camera and a faster charger to charge them.

We got home approx 1.30pm, had lunch and unpacked.

This morning I used the last of the double cream from the strawberries and put it in a drinks bottle.  We turned it into butter by shaking it in the bottle until it turned into a solid.  We added salt when we got home and put on our crusty cobs for lunch.

Here is the grass before and after it was cut.   This was the first time it has been cut this year.  It was like a wild field, now it is nice and short.  Anais and Roman played cricket once it had been cut.  Just in time too, after Mark had tidied the lawn mower away it started to rain.

Mark put the new brake lever on Roman's bike.

Roman had fun building these, his birthday present from Rich, Deb, Brendyn and Olivia.

Anais made sure she was up to date with all of her homework before she settled down to watch "Vampire Diaries" which she has gone mad on.

I have added photo's to Saturday (Roman's birthday) and Sunday (yesterday)

Triop Watch! - Day 1

Thanks Rich, Deb, Brendyn and Olivia for Roman's birthday present.  We stopped off at the supermarket on the way home for bottled water as they were eager to start this today.
