A relaxed day after our long trip yesterday, rounded off with tea in the sunshine at the park.

Last day of Summer for the Smalls and they were very pleased to get some new friends in the post. They are definitely enjoying reviewing Stretchkins and they’ve only had them for a day! (That T-shirt Tori is wearing used to be mine. I got it after falling in a stream on holiday resulting in requiring new clothes. It breaks my head that it fits her now…)

There they are, much taller than last year but still smiling. Tori all ready for Year 1 and Arthur ready to be in Snail Group at Pre-school.

Letting off a bit of steam after school… (I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it.)

It’s not a birthday meal without cake and you are NEVER too old for a Lightning McQueen cake 😉

The end of the first week of term and Tori saw it out in style at her friend’s birthday party. We also had a visit from Meggy, Scott, Baby Edith and Jet The Dog AND went to the pub after Tori’s party and had chips for tea!

A relaxed Saturday – we popped round to English Folkfan’s house (and finished eating Lightning McQueen) and I spent the evening blindly inventing this pie for the Great Blogger’s Bake Off. Next time I’m using a recipe…
