Last week of term


Yesterday I ...

went Christmas shopping twice,


fiddled with my camera

to show only the red on our Christmas tree,



watched in horror as my

need-to-be-wet-and-cold girl

bought a kit containg 500 water bombs;



but then later enjoyed the colours

spread out on the sofa;


cooked up a delicious 

pumpkin and caramelized onion flan for dinner



and baked gluten-free gingerbread.


iced with a thin coat of royal icing,

and left overnight to soften a little,

I declare them a success!

It hasn't been the three days I anticipated

for the end of term,

only one girl at school one day out of three

(proper school lessons are not happening,

but Laura had originally planned to go anyway)

- there have been dramas and hard times 

... but I'm glad I took these photos

to remind me that it wasn't all bad, 

and some of it was very good!

Sorry you have had dramas, I hope they have passed now that term is ending? Your tree pictures are very clever, you are having fun with your camera! Not sure about the water bombs - especially 500 of them, great of you to appreciate the colours though!!! Take care and I hope that things are good over the coming days. xx
