Auntie Knows Best

A very busy week leading up to a very busy weekend.

On Friday The Little Miss had Cubs at the Bathing Pools. It was an unusually foggy day in comparison to the really hot weather we have been having recently but that did not deter the crazy people who spent ages in the pools.

Saturday was our busiest day yet as we had Music Centre Open Day. Both kids are still playing the violin but from September Eliza will be switching to play the clarinet. She is incredibly excited about this and is really looking forward to it. Having listened to Primary Woodwind at open day I am not uite as excited about the early days of learning!

On Sunday we had our annual church in a field. It was a beautiful day and my aunt and uncle came with us which was lovely. I love this church community. They are authentic and fun and they enrich my life.

On Sunday afternoon The Little Mister had a coasteering party with some of his friend. Such a brilliant activity for them all and Guernsey is the most beautiful place to spend time like this.

Our final day at the campsite was a little grey and murky so we dragged the kids out for a nice walk through the lanes followed by an icecream and then we had a barbecue in the evening. We’d had such a fantastic, relaxing few days camping with these guys. We are fortunate to have good friends who have kids the same age who all get on.

The rest of the week was half term and and the kids went to Outdoor Guernsey for three days. They had a wonderful time including Nerf wars, archery, cricket and other team games and coasteering. The Little Mister has been coasteering before and was pretty nervous, but this time he has gained some courage and was jumping off some higher leaps. The Little Miss on the other hand is completely fearless and there is a terrifying picture of her leapoing off the tallest jump!

For June the weather has been really disappointing. There has been a chilly Northerly wind so the temperatures are still relatively low. I did have a lovely walk with Emma on Saturday evening and then we had a swim before church at the Bathing Pools though which was chilly but delightful and then my sister and niece came for lunch. A fab week.
