A day in Camber

Spent the day at the beach today on probably the hottest day of the year. Even the water was hot. Only felt the sea being warm one other time and I was in the Caribbean then.

Simply a great way to watch the world go by especially as the tide chases you in we must have moved our little base back 5 times.

Wonderful Wedding

One of Angie's oldest friend's yesterday married.

Had a fabulous time. Everyone contributed. The bunting were from the mother's sewing community. The brother's had set up the sound system . A team of friends had a work party making the village hall pretty. The evening curry was cooked on a barbecue by friends. The feast was all provided by the guests. Everything was shared and the whole day was full of welcome, joy and fun.

Perfect.

Play School: Beginnings and Ends

Today I walked Joshie for the last ever time to his Play School.

Our usual routine consists of him being "Torta Knight" and me his faithful friend "Nimbo" trying to get across lava pits, even surf on it with our lava boots. Fly on giant Eagles. Escape dragons. It is one my favourite times of the week.

So here he is when he started back in September 2010:

And then today walking in for his final party before reception in bigger school.

Thank you Play School for the 2 great years.

The Olympic Torch travels through Tunny wells

We took Caleb out of school today to let him see a "once in a lifetime" chance to see the Olympic Torch as it travelled through Tunbridge Wells.

It was great to be partying out in the streets. A great atmosphere indeed.

United again

Angie's been away this week and I've had a fab time with the boys. From swimming to meals, stories, breakfast, parties, watching films, hunting for giants, building castles and planning jailbreaks.

I do have a great appreciation of all that mothers do to keep a household moving. It's nice to have the time just by myself with the boys but it's great to be united again.

Pony boy

We were at Eva's 4th birthday today. She's one of Joshie's friends and they had a couple of ponies there.

Reuben was terrified. Caleb was off playing football. Joshie was fascinated by these beautiful animals. A joy to see his smile when he heard he could have a ride.

My guardians

As I put Joshie to bed he said he'd left some friends to protect me when I sleep as mummy is away. He whispered that that "Fake Crocodile" and "Liverpool" will be my guardians.

I'd forgotten until I got to bed. Here they are ready for duty.

A dry run for two at school

Joshie wanted to wear his school uniform today. His big brother and family were very proud.

The iPad generation

So grandpa gave the boys granny's old iPad.

Apple are slowly taking over our means for consuming information.
