A long couple of weeks.



It has been a while since I posted anything, we have had a really rubbish few weeks. Firstly Emily got a throat and mouth infection which spread to her face in the form of blisters. She was really poorly and didn't eat for a week, she was contagious so we had to stay confined to the house! Luckily Wayne, Tom and I didn't get it. Also the main bridge in and out of Great Shefford has been closed so the diversion is about 15 miles long which is such a pain. The bridge opened again last friday - not that we have been able to use it as Wayne's van broke down last week and he has had the car so we have been house bound again. We have been going out for walks and have been on the bus to Lambourn twice to go to music but it is driving us crazy! No idea when the van will be fixed so we could be without a car for a while.

On the plus side the weather has been fantastic so we have been in the garden every day. Emily's friends Finn, Sophie, Fran and Louis have all been over to play and the trampolene is a firm favourite, we have been playing in the sand and on the swing and on sunday we even got the paddling pool out!

Emily had to have a week off pre-school when she was ill so her first day back she got a bit upset and they phoned me 1 hour in to come and collect her. On the friday I ended up having to stay for the whole session so this tuesday I just left her screaming and crying and the teachers said she calmed down after about 5 minutes and she was fine! So fingers crossed she will be good tomorrow.



We are off to Cornwall for a long weekend tomorrow which will be good so I will have lots to write about next week!
