Off to PGL Camp

Image
D left this morning for three days away at school camp. Lots of fun activities, while the kids learn to be away from home and parents, many for the first time. And it's her birthday today, so we opened a few presents before she left. She's heard about all the fun C had, so she was looking forward to the experience. 

D's Ballet Exam

Image
D had her ballet exam yesterday, which sounds as though it went well. The living room has been Practice Stage 1 for the last few weeks. And some evenings we hear prancing from her bedroom, when she should be in bed.

Sheringdale Year 6 Leavers Campout

C's entire class- parents, siblings and friends- all congregated in the woods of Surrey for 24 hours.  Games, singing, bon fires, eating, drinking were the orders of the day.  Everyone had a great time. Even the sleeping in tents worked out well.

C and I went for a late evening dip- Dived off granite rocks into the icy waters at our local swimming spot. Refreshing to say the least...

Gothenburg Day 4

Image
We went about 10 miles outside Gothenburg today to see some of Bella's clients- Helene and Olaf (and their kids Ben and Ellie).  They have a beautiful house, on a lake, in an idyllic setting. We all had a lovely time.
