half term

• I knew we would be spending half term week at home as there was building work aplenty to supervise.
• I knew I had a huge washing pile to demolish - built up as  a result of a frozen washing machine due to the recent cold weather.
• I knew three of the follies would be accompanying Mr Folly to a 'bring your child to work' day.
• I knew there were orthodontist and hair appointments to fit in.
• I knew the eldest Folly would be off for an activity weekend with her youth group.
• I thought we would be spending much of the time crafting and baking close to a roaring fire.

Things have turned out quite differently. 

• The warmer temperatures have tempted us outside on much longer walks with Bess. 
• The chicken house has had a bit of a spring clean.
• Friends have taken pity on the younger follies and they have been invited out to multiple sleepovers.
• I have managed lunch with a friend at her new home.
• We have not managed much in the way of making at all.
• I have been taught the first stages of nordic walking.
• Builders in the kitchen has meant limited baking and cooking.
• Builders in the kitchen has also meant they are making their own cups of tea just now.
