Busy Doing Nothing...

Half term is nearly over and what a busy time it has been...doing not very much really.  Well, not very much in the way of my Driftwood and Debris work.  The Diamond Jubilee and my children have taken priority, as they should, and it has been a ball!  We have begun to decorate the Wendy house (inside) in a jungle theme (my eldest came up with the idea) which has involved copious amounts of paint, glue and coloured paper.  Naturally, this is a much bigger project than it first appeared and we have a way to go before it's done - still, it is looking good so far.  The weather has been...changeable, but my girls have been bonny throughout.  We went to the Hay Festival and attended a talk by Francesca Simon, the Horrid Henry author, we bar-be-cued, we planted up a new herb bed, we went for tea and cake, we visited my mother's farm (always fun), we walked the dogs (a lot), we danced, we sang, we joked, we laughed, and yes, there were some tears (but not too many) and we celebrated our lovely Queen's Diamond Jubilee!  It's been a good half term!
