The may day celebrations were at the end of a week of great fun, there had been loads of environmental projects, den building, bug hotels, and crafts.

We have just aquired a caravan, with awning, and need a few bits and pieces to make life easier.

Tent pegs

Water carrier (rolling one) fitting for water carrier – caravan.

Ground Sheet – for awning.

Gas bottle fitting, and pipe – butane bottle.

Solid step, so we can get in and out of caravan!

Caravan heater??

If anyone can help in anyway with any of this, we really would appreciate the help!

Vicki …..

Now I am going to try and explain this to you.

needed:

30 cm ruler.

cardboard

double sided sticky tape.

sticky paper and stuff to decorate

space to try it out

What to do:

draw around the ruler four times so you end up with 4 strips of cardboard.

using double sided sticky tape stick two peices together ontop of each other.

using tape again, sandwhich this peice between the other two, forming an x shape.

Decorate. Use as a traditional boomerang, experiement with the throw and if necessary curve the card a bit. But they do work.

I will try and get a picture of Asha’s up some time soon

Anyway, we got up.. i got up later than 6 though.. and we packed and we went to anglsey, and we unpacked and I came home and Steve and Asha had a great time.

Next day I returned as i felt so incompetent at home.

Asha made a lovely fairy, and I will try and get a photo of it up, and it rained, and rained all day :d

The woodburner kept us all warm though!

4 oz butter

4 oz sugar

1 egg beaten

8 oz G.F Self Raising Flour.

Pinch of salt.

4 oz currants

4 oz sultanas

Milk (i used long life soya milk, sweetened)

( I also use what ever dried fruit i have in)

Set oven to gas mark 4 / 350 F.

Cream butter and sugar together, once fluffy beat in egg.

Sift in flour and salt, fold in.

Stir in dried fruit,

add sufficient milk to give a dropping consistency.

Turn into a greased cake tin. The recipie states a 6″ cake tin, but I tend to double up the recipie and cook in a few small loaf tins :d

The instructions also say bake for 45 mins to an hour, but I find with LPG and gluten free it takes slightly longer, but well keep an eye on it!

Enjoy!

Camp has been wonderfull, but we are all suffering too much. Mummy can hardly walk again. Asha now has a snotty nose. and daddy is rather bad tempered. The kids and other parents have been great. The hosts have been truly angels, in what they have done for us. And I am greatfull for all the help and support. But I am suffereing.

So what did we do today?

got up. Steve and Asha had breakfast, I cant face it at the moment. I had cake later!
Slowly packed up, sorting out the washing, and things on the way. Asha fell asleep on Daddy for a while. She also couldnt stand up on the trampoline, her poor legs are that tired.

We sat and talked a lot, as none of us have a rush in us!. Steve played with the kids, and I pottered a bit. Eventually we got everything in the car, and went and dropped off some clothes someone had left by mistake, on the way home. We also opted for tea at petes eats, as we realised we had nothing in, and I couldnt face a shop!

Exhausted we got home. Asha had first bath, then spent two hours fighting sleep.. The silly girl.

Night all!

Mummy has very little idea of what happened today. However mummy did make some creams with Asha and we did enjoy making them. I had just woken up, and went looking for everyone.

After that, I read to Asha and she went to bed fairly early tonight.

Making creams and tinctures, is certainly fun!.. great workshop, and all the kids loved it, old and young!

They included things like space suits, princess costumes, and animal costumes.

Most of the children got involved, but Asha didnt want to. She tends to shy away from doing things in large groups, and I am reluctant to force her.

Anyway, when I asked her if she wanted to do the play, she replied. “no, because if i am in it, I cant watch it”

The play was wonderfull. Asha got to play with many of the great toys outside for much of today on her own, and she also locked mummy in the toilet.

It was a pit, and it needed a catch on the outside, so that the wind dosnt blow it open, however Asha thought it would be great fun to show mummy she could lock it.. Mummy wasnt impressed, and daddy had an Asha delivered to him, to deal with!
