Roly Rodeo

You know the rhyme about the old woman who lived in a shoe, who had so many children she didn’t know what to do? I know how she feels!

Well, maybe not the shoe bit, but perhaps ‘shoe box’ might be appropriate. Our house is definitely on the small side and is currently teeming with lively children.

In reality it is only two extra kids, my nephew and niece, but along with the Boy King the house seems over flowing.

Luckily, the weather has been reasonable so there has been a lot of running around outside and adventures into the woods at the bottom of the field. Then there are trips to the park and the beach, and helping with the animals and planting, so all in all, a complete contrast to their usual London life.

I think the funniest moment so far was when my nephew decided to ride Roly pig! He actually managed to stay on for a complete lap of her pen before he slithered off. I bet he is the only boy in school to write that in his ‘What I did in the Holidays’ essay.

We still have another 10 days to go and lots more things to do, so very little time for blogging this week.

I must get on with breakfast, one egg or two?........
