Well the Easter holidays are just about done - Jake is tucked up in bed ready to go back to school tomorrow morning, and we've had a pretty busy time of it, even if I was back to work from the Tuesday after Easter.
Today we've been round at Haig Avenue, and clearance is coming on well in the garden. I went round in the morning whilst Nicky and Jake were at swimming, and then we were all there after lunch (roast with John and Margaret - they are off to the airport at some ungodly hour in the morning to get a plane to Barcelona to start their cruise).
Still, we had a bonfire at Haig yesterday evening, after we'd been to Wickes to buy a new incinerator.
The Pitt family came to visit yesterday, and I took Kate and Phil to see Haig. At least they can now see the project that we've taken on at the "before" stage.
Other things we've been up to during the Easter holidays:
- eating far too much chocolate, of course
- Jake having friends over for a sleepover (good timing as we were able to wedge our old mattress into Jake's room for some of them to sleep on, as our lovely comfy new mattress arrived on the same day - Barley certainly likes it!)
- a trip down to the seaside at Dymchurch for a play in the penny arcades and games on the beach
- a day trip to France for stocking up on wine. The Euro exchange rate may not be much good at the moment, but the wine's still pretty cheap!
By the way, the egg picture at the top - a nest found today in one of the trees at Haig Avenue!
