Book Sharing Monday - The return of PP

Postman Pat is back, big style in our house and I'm not sure who's enjoying it more ?
K's favourites were the Tweenies, who are certainly no match for Pat.

Dancing Queen
A week of dance for K that ended on a huge high last night as we watched her dance her way through an amazing ballet routine, tap dance with such grace and style, recreate the "Waterloo" scene from Mama Mia ( her teacher for the week, worked on the film ) and an incredible finale from Chicago, that made me see how very grown up she has become suddenly, holding her own with a group made up mostly of 17 year olds.
She was wonderful and we all are so very proud.
I was reminded ( as if I need to be ) of my Autumn love as I looked down at my pile of onion skins, seeing crisp Autumn colours and piles of leaves.

Book Sharing Monday - Happy Families by Allan Ahlberg
Fantastic characters,wobbley waitresses, Mr and Mrs Hay ( the front and back end of a pantomine horse ! ) scary Mr Creep the Crook and so many more.
We have borrowed them all so many times from the library but now we are slowly adding to our collection, picking them up in charity shops, library sales and this weekend scoring these 5 nearly new books for £1 at a car boot sale.
K has loved them and I have loved reading them to her.I think we both will be fighting over who will get the pleasure of introducing them to O.

Business ( nearly ) as usual !
The least I say about our week at HES FES, the better I feel !
How we survived ... booking into a Premier Inn down the road and spending time with good friends.
Would we go again ... NO.
So the last couple of weeks have been Swine Flu filled for atleast a couple of us at a time !
Still, there was some fun had ... O loves harvesting from the garden, his joy at discovering potatoes is a delight, he holds each one up for us to see, beaming with pride.
K has been very busy with a week long Summer Music School.Her performance at the end of week concert, playing drums for the first time, blew us all away, fantastic.
This week is drama at Lincoln Drill Hall and next week is dance with a team from London's Pineapple Dance !
Beautiufl skies to warm the heart.
