39 and counting

Okay, I won't babble on - I'll just add a few pics and descriptions for the past week. Needless to say, it's the Easter hols and it's nice to have some company in the house during the day for a couple of weeks. Jess and the kids are all here, and so far, it's been good - okay we're only the second day in, but it's gonna be a good two weeks. Anyway, I had a lovely, relaxing Birthday which included a five mile ramble around the Westerham hills and Chartwell, followed by a wonderful tea and dinner - thanks darling!

Also, on the same day, Caitlin and Joel had Victorian Day at school and as you can see they dressed accordingly - although I think Joel could have had a wash before he went - the filthy animal!

On Sunday, after church, we said our farewells and 'au revoirs' to Al & Sarah before they head to Shropshire for their new life. They will be missed, but we'll make the trip to seem them I have no doubt.

Thanks to an anonymous donor at Hilden Grange Prep we had a few tickets for Penshurst Place, so yesterday we header over there and had a lovely day in the sun. We made the most of the outdoor theatre seeing as there was nobody looking on. We went for a Shakespeare theme and I think we pulled it off!

Today we thought we'd take it easy - Jess and me that is. The kids decided to tackle the garden and did a grand job of trimming the hedges and clearing up - bless 'em!
