One can see into Millie's classroom from the road, and yesterday I was passing by. Took me a moment to remember I should be looking for a bob, not plaits!
Got up early to watch Millie's first ever gymnastics competitions. She and a friend performed a short routine with balls like smallish footballs. There were about eight similar routines in her age group. They won bronze!
Millie won a Blue Peter badge! She drew a picture with instructions on how to plant flowers - the letter that came with her badge was personal, not generic. We are all thrilled for her.
Popped in on Debs and Millie to check on them as M had 2 days with a temp, which has now gone. Usual kid stuff, Just in time for half term! Also gave her a pop-up tent which had been left in the charity shop for too long and, as I work there each week, I got it free. We opened it in the lounge and she immediately covered the mesh window so nobody could see her and secreted herself inside with her newest craft kit. They do so love hiding
Millie helped me pull carrots today. They were a random sowing and she described the crop as 'a marvellous variety'. We had some for lunch and she took some home.
I love that smell, Lizy! Veg from supermarkets and even grocers are so much older than you imagine, they lose their smell. And often don't have one as they can only grow tough varieties that store well in bulk. The smell of our apples just off the tree is amazing, almost like sherbert.

I remember when my daughter had her first bob; she looked like a little French girl!

I remember growing potatoes at school, then we cooked and ate them with butter. They were the best ever!
Her mum and I are beaming with pride in our lovely girl ๐๐ฅฐ
