| 'Wait for me!!!' |
A visit to Mary Arden's farm on my birthday.
 |
| 'Awh, hello little piggy. Let me tickle your tummy.' |
 |
| 'Err hello. Do you think you could tickle my tummy too?' |
 |
| Am i the only person who loves the way this bedroom looks? |
 |
| And this table? |

| Telling the time, Tudor style! |
And our week away....
 |
| Our new Bell tent, from Bell tent uk. Complete with chandelier, thick mattress for mummy and rugs too! |
 |
| A bit of Ancient history in Wiltshire in the morning..... |
 |
| and on to another in the afternoon! |
 |
| David trying on an outfit for size here too! |
 |
| On to East Devon to a bargain Yurt holiday! |
 |
| A chance here to cook using our new fire pit and tripod etc |
 |
On the beach at Exmouth.
A common theme for our week away was rain and wind. But in true Survival family style we were not put off, even with the severe weather warnings of 60 mph winds on the Cornwall leg of our trip to visit The Eden Project and pick up granny. |
 |
| Melting lead fishing weights with Jonathan. Obviously we did a Health and Safety assessment before we started. And then, ignoring the reccomendations we just went for it using our common sense! |
 |
| Pouring it in to the wooden mould. |
 |
| Jon's handmade wooden mould. |
 |
| Mould no 3. Plasticene was tried after wood, but then we moved on to Fimo.... |
 |
| With pretty good results! |
 |
The air drying clay version.
All this for some 'free' ammunition for his catapault!!!! |

Oh, and i love the beds... And the new tent! Looking forward to the time mine are all old enough to be able to do this kinda stuff :)

Great piccys!
So what happened to your old tent, then? Was it those wild boys of yours {g}?
Must get together soon.x
The old Bell tent was only borrowed from Tom's scout group. My friend was the leader and I an occasional helper, along with Tom. Sadly that privelege is no longer available, so we had to go and buy our own!
Ooooo, where was that tudor place? Nowhere near Pembrokeshire I bet!! We're very close to Castell Henllys a really great Iron Age fort if you fancy some more ancient history field trips.......:-D
The falconer on the photo is my friend Janusch! (I spelt that wrong.....but he is my friend)
