How my child's brain works...

How my child's brain works. #1

*L is cleaning her teeth in her bedroom*

Me: I told you this morning not to clean your teeth in your bedroom, you should do it in the bathroom!

L: I'm not cleaning my teeth in my bedroom, I was cleaning my teeth in the bathroom and I came upstairs.

Flooding near grandma's

There's been very heavy rain near my grandma's flat. Fortunately she is safe in a respite home. We had to drive the long way around to her house as we made two separate attempts which were blocked due to flooding.

Finally we got to her flat and managed to move all her furniture and precious items up high enough so that any flooding doesn't damage them.

Holidays

We've had a brilliant holiday in Wales, in a beautiful country cottage about 7 miles from the coast. We had a fantastic time. In fact Squidge loved it so much she's obsessed with buying a small-holding out there. We are apparently going to have ducks, chickens, dogs, ponies and some llamas. Squidge is also learning Welsh, in preparation, bless her. For those of you who don't know, the Welsh have their own language which is very different from English - they all speak English too, but some areas prefer to use Welsh. It's Celtic language. I love words so I find it fascinating.

We went on a steam railway, climbed down 300ft of steps at a place called Devil's Bridge, go rock-pooling, watched dolphins and seals, visited a farm, visited some friends at their small-holding, and visited a National Trust house.

Well, I'm not sure how much blogging I'll do this week, but I'll have to see :)
