Compound Word Project

The Compound Word Project

If you haven't heard by now, get yourselves over to this blog and join in with a bit of fun.

We are halfway now and it has been a source of frustration and gasps of 'Oh I know what that is..'

The whole family is getting quite competitive and Ali's aim to get bloggers uniting is working really well. Many thanks for all your hard work and organising, Ali.

Chelsea Buns

On a damp,

blustery,

cold,

grey day,

what could be better than a Chelsea bun?

Overheard on the way to Cubs....

What do you call an igloo without a loo?

An ig.

A New Chapter

,

Today, this girl started school. Proper school. She is ready for it (I think we both are), very excited (again, we both are) and will make certain her teacher is in all the right places at all the right times. She will always have the right equipment on the right day and will be a good friend to those children who are not quite so sure about the whole thing. She will make friends and be a happy member of the class.

But what I don't understand is where the last four and a half years have vanished to. Poof. Gone. Like a whirlwind. She can't be starting school because in my head she is still two with soily hands. She is still crawling round the house eating crumbs (and lord knows what else) from the floor. She is still staggering around, lurching form table to sofa to door on her pudgy unsteady feet. She is not answering back or arguing in a mature logical way. She is not riding a bike without stabilisers. She is not making her own toast...

A strange day here.
Now I must go and bake a cake and find Puppy so she has the best welcome home at 3.30.

Snapshots...

 ... of another glorious week spent on the shores of Loch Fyne.

 A feast for the senses.

 New experiences.

 Holiday traditions.

New friends...

 Familiar sights.

 A bit of bravado.

 A lot of colour.

 

 Happy times.

Overheard by Loch Fyne

SmallerBean: I thought Aston Martins were the same size as a tiger.

Me: This is a pine marten.

Apologies for the dodgy picture but I cannot work out how to get good stills from my movies or crop on blogger...
