Ruperts Birthday

Rupee is 1! He celebrated by hiding outside and refusing to come in until we tempted him with Tuna.

Lily's 11th Birthday

Lily celebrated her 11th birthday at home with family and friends.

Lily had a "Minecraft" themed party with all her friends bringing mobile devices and joining in the same Minecraft game. They worked hard and built some amazing buildings and had lots of virtual fun!

Mothering Sunday

I had a really lovely Mothering Sunday this year.
The children all brought home a bunch of Daffodils each from school the Friday before, a lovely surprise, and then on Mothering Sunday itself I was given beautiful purple tulips too and lots of lovely cards!



I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Jeremy cooked a lovely roast dinner at the end of the day too.
