Climbing trees and caterpillars

We have been enjoying the brilliant weather over the last couple of weeks. The last week of the Easter holidays was filled with visiting National Trust properties of Dyrham Park and Stourhead where the children climbed lots of trees and ran about on the grass. Isla and Evie had fun with their cousins at Stourhead and we had a great time there with colourful magnolias and rhododendrons blooming.

This week Isla has been back to preschool again and had a nice time with her friends doing different activities. She said her favourite part was P.E. where they practise getting changed themselves in preparation for primary school. She was pleased to tell me that she won a sticker for doing P.E. well. They were doing letter 'a' and she drew an alien. She also drew a nice picture of Evie. 

We've also been to the park, and mucking about in the garden quite a bit. Sunhats, suncream and lollypop moulds have been dug out and I have planted out sweetpea plants with fingers crossed against slugs and frosts. We potted up our sunflower plants and also planted some courgette seeds inside.

Evie has had another little bug, combined with new teeth coming through so has not been as cheerful as normal unless she is having a cuddle or following cats about.




We went for a little walk and spotted a caterpillar:
