Saturday started with a trip to church to decorate the sunday school window for harvest, followed by a picnic at the park, where this little daredevil delighted in showing off to her Nana and the much bigger children on the zip wire.
And this bigger one conquered her fear and climbed the wall, twice just to prove it wasn't a fluke, she is so proud that she can do it now, it's great to see her physical confidence grow, as she has noticed Isobel's fearlessness (the only thing stopping Izzy climbing the same wall is that she can't reach the bottom handholds!) and has been feeling a little left out.
We also enjoyed not bothering with the swings and slides and just rolling down the slopes.
Then Sunday was harvest festival at church, which was lovely as Father Mark made bread for his sermon and let all the children help. Followed by an impromptu bbq to harvest our grapes. We got loads, this isn't even half, so I'm planning jam (or jelly), cordial and even some wine :-)
Plus we decided to have a little go at treading grapes the old fashioned way, although only a sample go, as having seen the state of my girls feet, I don't think it's perhaps the cleanest way to do it.
The unexpected sunshine felt like a bit of a treat, and we've had a lovely time, but between you me and the gatepost part of me can't wait to have autumn back.
