My Little Pumpkins

November 06, 2016 by gill thomas

Last Thursday we were up the Bath Road and popped into Roots and Fruits for a loaf of their very yummy bread. They had oodles of unwanted pumpkins lining their shelves, each reduced to just £1. Lurking among them all I spotted something very large, very round and very orange! Jenson got super excited at the enourmous size of the pumpkin and I got super excited when I was told it was reduced from £12 to just £2!! We had a very brief lesson about bargains as I lumped the thing into the boot of the car.

Fair to say it was a very slow start to the day. My tummy bug was proving hard to shift, and no matter how hard I tried to keep my eyes firmly shut, the dulcet tones of my children were hard to ignore!

Official Home Schoolers!

Today was a big day as Jenson's friends returned to school after half term and we took our first official step into home schooling. It seemed apt that we should be spending the day preparing for and having a party. Although it was to celebrate Halloween, a part of me couldn't help but feel how fitting it was that we should also be celebrating this momentous day.

Today was a real half term day spent with school friends at the Cotswold Farm Park. It was a Halloween themed week at the farm and anyone in fancy dress got a free go in their lucky dip! I arrived at 10.30am with a skeleton and Little Bo Peep
