This was the view from my bed at just after 8am this morning, grey and heavy rain :-(
Say hello to this creepy crawly that was in our awning this morning, sheltering from the rain. Even Mark was wary about evicting him! He did manage to capture him and put him on the table outside. We think he was a grass hopper as he jumped away very fast!
Last week I brought a bread mix from Tesco and thought on a rainy day the kids could try to make a loaf of bread to occupy them.
Here they are making it between them. They took it in turns, one person added water and one person mixed it. They both had a go at kneading it and we put the heating on the lowest setting in the caravan and left it to prove in front of the heating duct!

We cooked it in the halogen oven and it smelt AMAZING!
We left it to cool while we went food shopping and when we come back it had stopped raining and gone very warm and sunny. We sat outside and used it to make cheese sandwiches for lunch. It was DELICIOUS and we ate it all between us, there was not a crumb left! It was still slightly warm and the butter melted into it, will definately be buying another mix and the kids enjoyed themselves making it too!

This afternoon Roman mashed a banana up and made a banana cake using a packet mix and two eggs. If I was home I would have used a loaf tin but haven't got one here so we used a single sandwich tin. They have eaten almost half between them tonight! (Pretty new cake stand!)
It was lovely and warm this afternoon so I washed a hand towel and two bath towels in the washing machine, it took a while as I had to do them one at a time. They all dried lovely though, it went so hot this afternoon.
Anais and Roman put the beach tent up again and took the chairs and went to sit in the shade of the tree's, Anais took her book and Roman took the box of K'Nex.
I have been thinking of things to do with all the little scrap pieces of wool. I made another blue flower with the blue fuzzy wool which is now all gone. I made a purple and cream flower using a scrap piece of mohair and purple wool. I ran out of the cream wool though an inch from the end but carried on crocheting in the purple and then used the purple piece as a centre for the flower. I also had a small amount of cotton left so did another doily for my mom.
