Need a weekend to recover from the weekend!!!!

Saturday was a jolly down to Dorset to see H and the gang. We arrived at about lunchtime and I lost T within minutes of entering the house........he kind of gets absorbed!! B and L spent the day alternately arguing and kissing! Where as T and S did lots of very boysy wrestling and chasing!!!!!I was pleased to see that T could hold his own, not having any older siblings. T did manage to come home with a split lip but that was nothing to do with the wrestling or the chasing, he merely smacked himself in the mouth trying to lift the handle of a push along toy out of the toy and it came away quicker than him thought!! And made a nice mess too. We went up to Bond's folly on the purbecks and walked back down again to see the sun setting over the sea and to the dulcet tones of L have the worlds most monumental tantrum. Sadly he had forgotten what he was having the tantrum about approx 30 secs into the tantrum but it didn't stop him from hollering like a good'un all the half mile walk back down the hill. D naturally had to climb on top of the folly just coz he could........and this is where the kids get it from!!!!!

Then we went to have a look at H's new house before going back to let the men cook tea! L decided to continue his tantrum and general clinginess, which was nice. Then we all played on H's Wii which I have to admit is bloody marvelmouse! Shame we can;t have one!

Sunday and we decided to get a head start on the allotment. D had borrowed a rotivator and the Steward had told us that we hadn't taken as much of the plot as we were entitled to, so we moved the boundary fence, shifted where the compost bins were (hmm that was a nice job) and re arranged the plot completely. T wants a patch of his own so we created a big bed behind the green house and have set aside half for him. We picked the last of the leeks and broccoli and about 3 million brussel sprouts. The noisette ones were the tastiest and most successful so we'll be doing them again this year! Then D rotivated the whole plot and I laid a carpet path. Then T and I set about trying to rid the new bed of evil convulvilus (bastard evil plant) T raked and sifted though with his fingers removing bits of root and big rocks from his bed and is very excited about what he is going to plant......Although I am not that sure how well an orange tree is going to fare in Surrey!!!! We are thinking about getting an apple tree for the main garden tho, well we need something to plant L's placenta under as it can;t sit in the freezer forever!!!

Was looking at the science section of EC today and I am guessing that the allotment will cover most of reception and KS1 science so there's a plus!!!!!! Who knew?
