Half term...

was fairly non-eventful on account of the arrival of the Pox part II. We just bumbled around, venturing out and trying to keep Maddy quiet and inconspicuous so people didn't judge us too harshly! We had to do something with our time! Abby and Erin came round for a couple of hours, we had lunch with Daddy (to avoid a date with some Mormons who'd taken me under their wing), that's about it I think. And then on Thursday morning we retreated "oop North" for a bit of entertainment, both child and adult to blow away the blues. With the Pox on its way out we felt fine about going into the big wide world, mainly dog walking and bike riding. We went for a visit to see Julia Donaldson perform some of her stories (including "The Gruffalo"). It was great fun and I'd recommend it. Oh! We also had a bit of a disco (to make up for the fact that Hannah was missing her school one on Friday night!) - well I say disco... more, the lights were turned off some music was played and we had a little tuck shop! Excellent! Then on Sunday we had to return for school and work. That was it really. A lovely time was had by all. Ta muchly!
