Today we have been to see Fifi and the Flower Tots at DMH. I was worried the LA was a bit old at almost 5 for this, but actually she had a really good time. We got squirted with water, by Stingo and at the end LA led a rebellion by leaping out of her seat to dance at the front and was immediately followed by 20-30 other little girls!
I must find a drama group for her soon.
Then we caught the train back. LA was a bit worried about this, as she thought it might be scary. However, she enjoyed the journey and would like to do the whole day again please!

Oooppps
Doh! We meant to go to the HE group today, but we got diverted.
Our pond, about 6ft by 6ft. Currently swarming with tadpoles and some kind frog has laid more frogspawn for them to eat!!
The HE group used to take place in a very dismal building, and I could rarely summon up the enthusiasm to attend. However, things change and the powers that be decided that said dismal building will be a childrens centre (!!!), so the HE group has to find a new home.
Last week we went to a very nice park with old trees, a play area and an indoor space. This week I believe it was at a community centre, but as we never made it, I don't know!
Next week is another new venue, but I think I'm working so we might not make that one either.
Still we managed to stock the cupboards and then we did a bit of gardening.
This is our new raised vegetable bed. We have a row of Radishs coming up and further back a row of Lettuces, we are still waiting for the beetroot and carrots. Lots of strawberries too.
We have beans growing in the conservatory ready to go in later and we planted up our tumbling tomato plants into a basket earlier. I think I'll bring it in the house during the evening for a while, as I think (but being a total novice, I'm not sure) that its early for them to be out. However, they are close to flowering, so I thought the insects outside would be a good thing.
Our free potatoes are beside them. No signs of them popping out the top of the bags yet.

Bosworth Battlefield
Rich, LA and I have spent the day at Bosworth Battlefield.
LA had a tree climbing session.
Then we got a little fed up with her...
The men of Ambion Parva, who came lunging their weapons at us.
Sir Acorn.
But the highlight of the day, was obviously, tracing a coat of arms and colouring it in.

Here's the video they made so that you can make them too.

Plants
Plants, Plants, Plants.
Yep, Plants.
LA and I have been doing a project on Plants. They are growing well...
We have geraniums, tomatoes and peppers in this "collection". The empty pot on the right is an ambitious attempt by LA to grow an apple tree ( I suspect there may be some plum stones in there too). The empty looking pots on the left are...
... hopefully going to be runner beans to plant in our vegetable garden. No signs of life yet though.
This is our herb collection, we have absolutely no idea which herbs these are, because we are so organised and obviously took notes as we were planting them... NOT!
Outside, our radishes have germinated and we are still waiting on the carrots, beetroots and lettuces. We still have peas, broccoli and cabbages to plant.
LA is lapping up this topic, although it seems she can remember to either water the plants OR feed the fish, not both.
She has also moved onto Level 4 of the Oxford Reading Tree, the vaguely organised lifestyle appears to suit us better.
