Tractors in the sunshine

Yesterday, Isla enjoyed making a pasta and glue picture:

It was all too much excitement for Pob:

Today we went to the garden centre where they had rabbits and lots of other animals to look at. Isla loved running around in the sunshine and the wind. She was also very excited by the toy tractors and would happily have spent the whole day there riding on them!

When we got home, we both had a sleep in the car! In need of some chocolate since our Easter eggs had all been gobbled up long ago, we made some more chocolate krispie cakes. We also made some oat and raisin cookies which were fun to roll into ball shapes. The mess from all this baking was immense. Rice krispies and oaty cookie dough everywhere! But worth it for some tasty snacks. Isla went for a run about in the sunny garden while I cleared up.

Easter eggs

Isla enjoyed her Easter Egg on Sunday! She asks for 'cacot' when she'd like some chocolate egg.

We went for a walk by the river as it was nice weather:

A trip to Wales

On Good Friday we made some hot cross buns! Here they are before going in the oven and also a photo of Isla eating one later on:

Today we went across the Severn Crossing to Wales. We told Isla that we were going to Wales across a big bridge. When we were crossing the bridge, she said that she couldn't see any whales in the sea so we had to explain about Wales being a country and that we weren't going to see any big sea mammals today!

We drove past Chepstow racecourse to Coleford in the Forest of Dean to visit Perrygrove Railway. There was a steam train to ride on, chickens, treehouses, slides and walks in the forest. Isla really enjoyed it, especially the trains, which she wanted to go on again and again. 

After visiting the railway, we headed to Tintern where we had a nice meal in a pub called the Moon and Sixpence. The pub was full of antiques and had views over the Wye river. Isla liked playing with the beermats and watching all the people in the pub.

After lunch, we visited Tintern Abbey. It was very impressive. Isla enjoyed running around the abbey and grounds.
