Black gold

This weekend saw the arrival of a mountain of dung and bark, my first tractor driving lesson, and several hours spent barrowing the black gold onto my borders.

Mab Dogs & Kids Out In The Midday Sun

You could be forgiven for thinking it was the summer holidays, as we hit the dizzy heights of 24°C, so a walk to the stream with the dogs was the adventure embarked upon.  James decided that the dog ball throwing device would double up as a lightsaber.  

James & Jenny both had fun with the camera.

Jenny took this landscape scene.   It was then home for fun in the paddling pool, water slide and a BBQ,  which actually never happened as we spent too much time playing before bedtime.

Bye bye Daveys

Thank you Ivor and Bex for a lovely weekend, topped off with a stunning walk in the Kentish hills, bathed in glorious spring sunshine.  Sadness has now descended on the Burgess household as our children mourn the loss of their playmates (there were tears before bedtime).  But very much looking forward to catching up again in Kimmeridge! 

Bank holiday bike ride

This was our longest bike ride yet, 10.7 miles from Tonbridge Castle to Penshurst Place and back.  Smiley faces all round, and four tired children who will sleep well tonight.  Thank you Daveys for a lovely Easter weekend.

Easter weekend fun with the Daveys

Whilst Mabs was honing his burger flipping skills feeding the visitors at Four Winds Farm's lambing weekend, the kids had some cuddle time with the lambs.

Getting ready for the mammoth sunnyside easter egg hunt...

 ...and enjoying the spoils!

Blessed with a lovely sunny Easter Sunday, we have spent the whole day outside, playing in the garden until bedtime, just because we can.
