Happy Easter !

Happy Easter to you all ! We woke up to find the garden covered in an inch of snow, so after unwrapping Easter presents, Karl and Ella went into the garden to build a snow Easter Chick.

Unfortunately the sun has been out all morning, so the snow melted pretty quickly.

Ella collected a dish full of snow to put in the freezer and by the time the snowman and chick had been dressed, the snow had gone.

Nan has been with us this week, so Ella has spent the week playing, making cards and generally fiddling about.

We had a trip out with the Home Education group on Thursday. We went pond dipping at Coombe Abbey Country Park.

We caught a tiny pike, various water beetles, some worms and an empty Coke bottle. One of the other groups found some frog spawn and we were surprised to see that it was much less developed that the frog spawn we monitored at Nanna and Bampa's pond a few weeks ago.

This afternoon Ella is going on an egg hunt with the other children from the village. I'll post some pictures later....
