Tyrells Wood October

Took the kids out for a walk in the woods this morning ... it's a lovely day today weather-wise.

Eeek a selfie!!!  ... this is my new hair colour ... still wet, just after the new funky cut. 

Chef Ewan

Faye had a play date with some of her school friends this afternoon and Ewan was a bit fed up that he wasn't doing anything different or special.  So when we were back at the house, I got out the cheese and onion bread mix and helped him make the rolls.  He basically did it all himself and was very proud of the finished results - oh, and they taste really good!

We've all had quite bad flu, coughs and what not for at least a week, only starting to feel better today - although not a hundred per cent.  The kids are on half term break for this week.    We are going to be making Halloween crafts tomorrow. 

I have booked a stall at the Church fair and am also making lots of different things that we will sell (hopefully) on the day.  When I've finished with the things I'm making at the moment, I'll take some pictures and put it all up here.  I have put a few images on Whatsapp as I've done things but I've actually lost count of what I've made and there is a lot of stuff. So far I've made jewellery (handmade paper and plastic bag beads), crocheted beanies, ponchos, a woven ribbon baby blanket and other odds and ends. Hayzel has made some lovely Christmas wreaths. And today I also made Christmas hanging ornaments (jewelled snowflakes).


I've had a hair cut and it's now ORANGE ... but I like it - I'll try and post a photo when I'm feeling a bit braver.  Ally has some good news relating to a career move but more on that towards the middle of November.

Faye passes her Learners Licence

For the last 4 weeks or so Faye has been taking her bike to school every Thursday.

Spending about one hour during the school day (and getting to bunk class) her and few other kids have been learning the Highway Code and how to ride safely on the roads.

Her big final theory and practical riding test took place on Wednesday the 22 October.

She passed and is very proud of herself telling us that she did well in her theory test and passing her practical road test with flying colours!

ARTS

Anglia Region Theatre School ...

Faye started last week.  I take her every Tuesday evening - her lessons are from 6.15pm to 7.15pm and mummy picks her up on the way home.   So far Faye is enjoying it ... it's what she's always wanted to do, so who knows? maybe we have a future Oscar winner in the making ...

Arts and Crafts

Hayzel and I are busy making things for St. Mary's Church Christmas Fair at the beginning of December, I booked  a stall.   Not all of the things in the video will be sold at the Fair ... but check out Hayzel's magnificent Christmas Wreaths ...

Daniel - milestone

Bloody hell Google made me a birthday Googlet ... huh?
