Quite a while ago now (sorry - thought I had already posted these pictures on here!!) we went for a lovely little walk along the canal - a touch hairy when Matteo was wandering all over the track as he had to touch all the long grass and some cyclists were coming along the track as well!!! Plus Fredi thought the best thing would be to go up every slope, and down to the water's edge!! But they really enjoyed it and it tired them out!

Isabella was really missing school so at various times throughout the holidays she has gone off and done some writing!! The first is a list of the names of her extended family!!!

Then we had a shopping list!! We needed: ham, butter, cereal, milk, salad, olive oil and chicken apparently!










The next is a story she decided to write all by herself whilst I was in the shower!

 A Night                            Tiny mouse was sad in the woods.        A time fox live in the clock.

Bad mouse fighted everyone.     They all got away of the bad mouse.

I am such a proud Mummy!!!!

We had an absolutely fantastic trip to London for  a few days and the kids had a brilliant time in all the different, amazing parks and the Natural History Museum. Matteo especially LOVED the dinosaurs and was in awe the whole way round if a little disappointed he wasn't allowed on, in and under everything on display! Emily was without a doubt the best help I could ask for and the children loved it!
