A Victorian school boy here for breakfast....

... then trots off to Victorian school for the day. He's got a 'Victorian' lunch: bread and cheese, pasty and home made biscuits with a glass of water.

Let's hope he avoids sitting in the corner with the dunces hat on!

Hoorah for the holidays!

It's the school holidays and the kids are having a great time with their cousins (well, Dr Green's cousins) Tom and Flora who have come to stay for a couple of days.

Us girls have been out for tea and cake at Stop the World. Followed by a bit of shopping and home to do some sewing. Flora's gingerbread man is the one with green buttons, Esme's is a gingerbread lady.

Meanwhile, the boys have played on the Wii, popped out for a quick round of par 3 golf, back home for some lunch and PlayStation, and are off in a bit to kick a football around with Dr Green.

On the agenda tonight we have home made pizza, a movie for the boys, a movie for the girls, and Aunty Rachel will be turning up early evening. It doesn't get much better than this.

Our Mabel....

... is turning into a beautiful dog. Just look at this photo, she's changed so much over the past 2 weeks. Her nose is elongated and she's starting to have a really elegant look about her. She's got those wonderfully long eyelashes that curl up at the ends.

"Mrs Miggins's pie shop" has been busy

Today's offerings are a gruyere and leek tart and a chicken, leek, bacon and creamy sauce pie.

Have been bitten by the baking bug.... I'll blame the Great British Bake Off. I'm quite sad it's finished.

Extreme makeover for Mimi and Cakes....

... website, that is. Have added loads of goodies and a shopping facility. Ooh err, get me!
