Half Term Fun (by sarah)

Half term with a new baby and hyper active five year old - actually it was quiet alot of fun though I was soooo tired!

We did painting and crafts, home school and watched films, Jean couldn't really play outside much as I couldn't go with her so it restricts where she can play but she did go to rock mice again and this time she had her rock mice t-shirt 🙂 Rock Mice is a climbing club for 5+ and Jean loves it 🙂

Jean also decided she wanted to have her hair done in lots of different styles - it was all variations on plaits because that's all I felt upto tackling.

Poetry and Piaf (by sarah)

Coming up in Cheltenham on the 31st March-1st of April is The Cheltenham Poetry Festival and I am going to be doing a few things at it 🙂

First off I am reading my Piaf poem at the Poetry and Piaf events which is very exciting as I love listening to the singer perform Piaf's songs and telling us about her life and the tragedy of it.

Tickets are £10 incase any of you want to come along 🙂

The next thing I will hopefully be doing though is not yet confirmed is Murder in the Chapel which is an interactive sluething event and looks like lots of fun 🙂

Lastly I may have a slot reading/performing my poetry in the Beechwood shopping center but again that has not been confirmed yet - if I do then there will be some sci/tech poetry 🙂

Uncle David and Aunty Michelles visit (by sarah)

Just before Mary was a month old my brother and his fiance came to visit 🙂 Mainly we hung around the house due to me not really being well enough to go out though I did manage one outing to the Beefeater at the Twelve Bells which was lovely 🙂

There was lots of film watching and chatting and Mary and Jean snuggles 🙂 Complete with new cuddly toys for all and some funky pens with stamps at one end which Jean has been using continually since the visit! (Though annoyingly sometimes on herself :/ )
