Sunshine, rain, campfires, pimms, bell and bunting

Our lovely friends visited this weekend with their two children. School friend and best man of cal's, our children have grown up together, all be it not close by but regular visitors.

Saturday was gorgeous, so a morning at the farmers market with burgers and cupcakes was a real treat. The buskers were out galore and lots of tasty things to buy too. Our friends love to go there when they're here so a sunny day made it even more enjoyable.

after lunch we packed up some beers and blankets and walked across the village playing field and beyond in to a lovely field, full of wild life and flowers. So close to home but it feels a million miles away. We made a campfire and the kids all collected wood. Then toasted marshmallows and devoured them squashed between chocolate digestives....lush!!

The kids were amazed to find a nest of tiny voles under a piece of old tin, cute enough to make your ovaries twitch!! Too much beer and pimms later we headed home. Cal lit the fire pit ad we sat out till midnight under the stars. It was a really nice day.





Sunday was a different day and it pissed down all day! I made a beef hot pot then we went to the pub for an hour, and made the mistake of giving the kids coke....madness for the following hour!! What an effect it had on all of them, they turned ferral! So we headed home for tea before saying goodbye.

back at work on early tomorrow so an early night needed I think..
