…is one of my favourite things to do. There’s nothing like sitting somewhere nice in the sunshine, with a cool drink and an engaging book, is there? Luckily for me, the girls have decided that they like to do that too. Here they are relaxing in the garden with their books: I must find some … Continue reading »
When I was a child, one of the biggest events in my small home town for children and young teenagers was the roller disco which happened (I think) about once a month at the local sports centre. There would be a DJ in the corner of the sports hall, the lights would all be flashing … Continue reading »
One of our butterflies hatched yesterday afternoon, whilst we weren’t here. The girls were excited but very disappointed that they hadn’t seen it appear from the chrysalis. This morning whilst we were getting dressed, a second butterfly hatched, so we missed that one too. I moved the butterflies to the table whilst … Continue reading »

The caterpillars are definitely growing too and moving around more. The picture shows the silk, if you look very very closely that is! It looks a bit like blurriness … Continue reading »
We got back from nearly 2 weeks in England yesterday to find our caterpillars had arrived in the post. My Mum had given the girls a butterfly garden for Christmas and we had waited until the weather was warm enough outside before we ordered the caterpillars. The girls were very excited. The caterpillars were examined … Continue reading »
The Big One is beginning to think about needing her own space and privacy. I was hoping that she’d wait longer than 6 but in the last couple of weeks she has decided (quite rightly, of course) that she doesn’t really want her little sister barging in every time she’s on the toilet! The Little … Continue reading »
