Sunset and sweet peas

Dragon in the clouds

Sunset from last night and a bunch of sweet peas I picked while out there with the camera. They smell divine.

Boys first festival!

We've spent the last weekend at a local festival. I had a stall and the boys ran free for a weekend!

It was a bit of a shock discovering that a festival with children was not quite the same as festivals pre children !

Also quite shocked at the number of people smoking whilst wearing their children! I can't quite comprehend how people can think it's OK to inflict their smoke on their children.

Because of where we camped the noise was awful, hopefully the next one will be quieter as we will be in the family field where hopefully a stag do will not be camping right next to us and the main stage will be a few fields away!

I got to do a lovely yoga workshop and have found a class which starts after bedtime so I should be able to start going regularly again.

There was a good childrens area and the boys seemed to enjoy it when they weren't being tired and grumpy through lack of sleep.

Can't wait for the next one, we may need to buy a roof rack though.

It only took half an hour to drive home but they were both spark out when we arrived.

Lammas

Lammas maze at Sennen beach

A lovely day if a little damp!

The chicks are growing fast and will soon need to be re-housed!

This is them this morning, they seem to have adopted the table, we have to put them away when we eat outside or they are worse than the dog at looking for treats.

and another picture of them running where they look like mini dinosaurs.

They are adorable and I am not looking forward to having to get rid of the cockerels, hopefully they will get re-homed.

They try and follow me everywhere even trying to get in the car.

We have been busy!

Scrummy Babylonglegs wool for the Knitty KAL

Beautiful Days tickets have landed!
Carl finally has an archy doodah! Covered here while he attacks the knotweed for the millionth time this year but he has been playing with bows and arrows lots.

We have a bee colony in our hedge, fascinating white tailed bumble bees I could watch them buzz about all day!

Our new tent :) (The other one a Vango Diablo is up for sale if anyone is interested)

Radio Flyer wagon for fun and festivals! The boys LOVE this.

Poppy

Thousands of beautiful purple jelly fish washed up on the beach.

Toad hiding in the play straw bales.

We went to see a lovely beekeeper with one of the home ed groups, we had to tie the clothes on in some very strange ways so the little ones could get up close to the bees!

Loving the sea.

We got married at Solstice. Hopefully next year we will have a handfasting and big party.

Balancing in the woods :)

Chicks at 4 weeks old, mama got taken by the fox along with Autumn and a chick but we still have 6 chicks left and they are getting big, must take pictures of them soon.

Amazing

K's current thing is mazes, needs lots of dead ends, roundabouts and a clear entry and exit point. Bridgesa and tunnels are a bonus!

Day 5, look at those cute white fluffy bums!

This one has developed his/her own pair of trousers :)

Teeny tiny feathers appearing

I cleaned out the coop today and there is an escape artist in their midst, although he/she had a little panic when they realised they weren't that close to mama anymore.

2 days old

The 7 eggs that were left all hatched successfully, they are so very cute.

Postcard Swap

Being involved in the swap seemed like the perfect time to get a big map of the world to put up on the wall and put up the postcards where they came from.

The map is enormous and the only place I can fit it is in the hallway.

So far we've had a card from Australia, 2 from the Marshall Islands and one from our friends who live 2 miles up the road in our nearest town, it took 2 weeks and 5 days to arrive lol

Should anyone we know be going abroad I think I'll ask them for a postcard to add to the map.

So far it has facilitated discussions on time zones, distance, where penguins live and flags.
