Library books

Meal Planning Monday: 8th April 2013
I’m happy as I’ve managed to catch up with leftovers now, after the NCT crowd came over yesterday and we had some of the chilli leftover. So that’s one lunch for work, and then leftover chicken & ham pie for…
Television Thomas
Oh dear, it seems to have started. N doesn’t tend to watch kids tv that much. Generally he’ll ask for Tractor Ted (think we need more versions as he’ll know everything about milking and pea harvesters, but that’s about it)…
Post Easter fun

Easter Egg Trail at Upton House
After having had most of the weekend spent indoors due to various reasons or another, I wanted to get N out on one of the Cadbury Easter Egg Trails at our nearest National Trust venue. It’s not too far away,…
Arty play
Today’s been a funny day. Initially I had plans to take N to the nearby National Trust place for an Easter Egg hunt or swimming to make up for having no swimming for a few weeks, but morning plans failed…
