The Little Mister went with his class to visit the pumpkin farm yesterday.
Today he arrived home with a spectacularly decorated pumpkin – I never thought a pumpkin could look so stylish!
Today my sister and cousin Matthew took part of a fabulously ridiculous event called an otillo (not sure how to put the funny little dots above the ‘o’s though!)
They started at one end of the west coast of the island down at Pleinmont and ran and swam a route around the coast right up to Pembroke. Each pair has to be tied together during the swim legs by a 10m rope. It was hilarious to see all these people in wetsuits and swimming hats running along the road with their floats bobbing along on their hips. They ran a total distance of 21km and swam about 4km. Crazy.
Louise and Matthew did brilliantly and they came third overall for the full distance which was fantastic. I was really proud of them and it was a fantastically organised event. Well done everyone!
Today we went to the fabulous Bean Jar Jamboree. Of course we had delicious bean jar for lunch, followed by a farm ice-cream and a wander around the stalls and listening to music.
Glorious weather with so many fabulous things to see and do. These decorative gourds caught my eye though, so many colours and textures. I loved the display.
