Lots happening here!


Hi there! I just feel like putting my feet up right now and having a warm cuppa. It is true that it has been somewhat cooler over the last few days...feels like summer is over. Let's hope not!! Anyway, what's been happening in your life lately? I hope you have been having fun. Justine and me have had time to do some fun things; cooking, baking, crafting and going out at local events.
On the 10 August 2013, there was the Sunbury Regatta and we spent the day watching the boat races, enjoying ice cream and fresh air. Justine spent most of her time on the rides and slides I must say;) She had a dolphin balloon which was attacking everyone and she also had her face painted as a butterfly. Lovely! The Thursday before that, we went to the Saint Saviour's CoE garden party, where we met friends and listened to some live music performed by the church members. There was some delicious baked goods there, which Justine enjoyed dissecting more than eating:) Sorry anyone who made the cake! lol. Kids!
At home, we made pizza and Justine had her very own dough ball. The result was an amazing little pizza which she made from start to finish. She posed very proudly with her pizza for a photograph. At the moment though, Play Doh is her new craze; she just can't stop playing with it. She even gets me shaping and rolling! I know! lol.
We made blueberry pancakes for breakfast during the week and made Chinese rice noodle soup for dinner.
I am also posting a picture of a simple but flavoursome dish for little ones: broccoli gratin with ham or salami. Simple but a treat and if it went down well with Justine, it will probably do so too for most children since she can be fussy sometimes with chunky vegetables.
