Popcorn, Peck, Parsnip and a Pokemon Master

Last night before playing cards, we moved a sofa from the sun room into the living room. I won at cards by they way (I said I wouldn't mention it but I thought it was only right!) Before we went to bed we moved the furniture around so it fit in better, though it does look a little like an old people's home now. (no, not because G&G are in there!!). When I came down this morning, Small had one Sofa and Grandma and Smallest had the other. They thought the seating was great.

Breakfast was a porridge festival with Grandma making a magic pot for the whole of the Hamlet. Smallest greeted Grandad with "can you build us a tree house with a popcorn dispenser". I am not sure what his answer was but I do know he hasn't built it yet!

Another slow morning of breakfast, clearing, chatting and Skyping of CousinE and CousinD..............

CousinD showed us his Halloween costume

.............before getting ready to go out to our local farm shop. We were hoping the lovely singing entertainment would be there but it finished last week. We bought a half peck (small bag) of Spartan eating apples and a half peck of Courtland cooking apples and a few butter tarts and mince pies and sat looking over the golf course eating.

We could see the lake and straight across the lake we saw Rochester USA (we think).

Then we split up, boys in one car and girls and Small in the other. The boys went to the Tire to purchase rope and night lights (for the more senior people to see where they are going at night) and the girls and Small did some grocery shopping.

Once home the little boys went off and played, the big boys put the outside table and chairs to sleep and fixed some guttering for the Winter and I picked some parsnips from our garden.

Grandma and I made dinner. We had roast beef and all the trimmings and then Grandma made a Gruffalo crumble and an Apple crumble with custard. It was a huge dinner and ended up being our lunch and tea in one.

Grandma went to sleep while we played the Pokemon game again. This time we played much quicker because we knew what we were doing and Grandad was the Pokemon master. The little boys did their maths, Huffle downloaded some music for us, Grandma slept on and Grandad and I tried to be geeks and work out which Pokemon belonged with which!!! We are definitely not geeks, we have no idea!
