sunday catch up

This week we have mostly been learning to play star wars on the keyboard... Making yummy carrot and coriander soup that we had with some home baked wholemeal bread...
been to the zoo again seeing all the animals we missed last time...

we went to the trough of bowland with our very good friends and had a fantastic day....

played at dunslop bridge in the river, we saw huge dead salmon apparently they swim up this river to lay eggs and then die, its like the ultimate sacrifice. We also saw loads of ducks and broken duck eggs, Chris was so happy that my friend found an in tact one and we brought it home and ever since he has been incubating it and turning it, he is so excited that we might have our own duckling....

Went to Chipping and saw the water wheel, ate our lunch and went off again, Chris managed to find some sycamore seeds that had started to grow so he planted them when we got home.

We also went ice skating with the home ed group, that was lots of fun, Adam was especially keen to go back as soon as we can. We went up to Lancaster too and went to a brand new home ed group, not sure if we will keep going though as it is early on in the day.

We also had some crappy news that we have been reported for having chickens and that we are encouraging mice into the neighbours house, we have had the chickens for almost a year and the mice have been coming on and off for the past 7 years - you do the math, I'm fuming about it all, we have been told not to compost anymore either as that attracts them and also that we have to pay for a van to collect our chicken manure, we are not meant to use is on our veg garden! I'm so sick of the rules, I'm desperate for us to move even more now as I feel we can't live how we want too in this urban environment.
