The Enemy

As I was bringing in the washing I spotted this little creature eyeing up my sweet peas. I managed to catch him before he began tucking in, and he paid for his misdemeanors by giving us all a cuddle. He charmed us enough to secure a safe passage back to his burrow. I can't promise the same again if Mab catches him.

Demolition

From this...













...to this...








...to this! Phase one of the extension begins in two weeks tomorrow, so this has been Mab's job this weekend, and a fine job he has done.

We'll meet again...

Last Friday we beseiged Bodiam castle with the Canadian troops. It was their last weekend with us until next time. We will miss you Private Jacob and Private Elizabeth, and Colonel Gilbert and Lieutenant Jill

Camping

Despite a bit more rain than we have been used to so far this spring (but this is Wales after all), we all had a great time on our first family camping trip.








A very windy trip to Harlech castle, renamed Garlic castle by James.









We arrived at the farm park just in time to feed the lambs their bottles, the highlight of the holiday for Jennifer.










And by noon the rain had gone and we had a glorious afternoon on the beach building a magnificant castle.

We're going to need considerably bigger buns

A belated happy birthday to the lovely Lizzie!
