Doo doo's and Benidorf!

A nice sleep for all and a good lie-in without any interruptions.

After breakfast, we left the boys with Grandma, and Huffle and I took Grandad to the Country Market. He likes it there because he likes to see the characters and all the tools and different objects for sale. We picked up a few things and came back with a Streudal for dinner.

This woman sat on a sofa which was for sale with a hat perched on her had. Grandad thought she was a cut out!

We had some lunch and then we went to a local farm where we got to pick our own apples and eat a few just to try.

Grandad was scrumping

We picked Courtland cooking apples and Macintosh for eating

There was a game which we played trying to throw Corn and Pumpkins into baskets and then we went on a wagon ride around the farm. We thought we were just going for a ride but we had a tour guide who told us what the fruit trees were, that there was a brown bear in the woods that they fed and the dates the various farm buildings went back to. It was quite interesting.

Grandad found his lovely tractors to sit on - he even tried to start one because it had the battery attached

We finished with a huge ice cream and a sit in the pumpkins whilst listening to a really good band.

Our tractor ride

Huffle bought a Rhubarb and Strawberry Pi which had just come out of the oven much to the envy of the rest of the queue

A change back home for the boys and then off to Football trials for both of them. Smallest knew the drill as he did this last week and we briefly spoke to Small's coach to tell him about Small's broken finger and the fact he wasn't allowed to do any contact sport. The coach knew him from Indoor last year anyway so he basically knew what he was capable of. They both did really well and we now have to wait for an email telling us what will happen next. They had more players than they needed so we will wait and see. Small was disappointed not to play in the final game but he had already fallen once and put his hands down, it would be silly if he injured it further. Smallest's coach gave me a Leicester City Top from his storage container that he bought. I am lucky girl.

When we got home we quickly made dinner, the boys had their showers and we ate.

HB received her socks and she is displaying them for me here. She loves them and they fit a treat (thank goodness). Shame they took me so long.
