Sunday's stuff

 A late start today, but after breakfast and a look at yesterday's comments on the conkers (thanks Janette and Carol), we vinegared them and what a difference to the hardness.  Hanging out to dry:


Ian & Rhi having a go:


The leaf prints Rhiannon made yesterday are dry and looking good.  Made with a roller and acrylic paint onto white card.

Rhiannon used the kit I got yesterday to make a giant easteregg, and there was chocolate over to make some buttons covered with hundreds and thousands.


After lunch we walked down the road (well I walked whie Rhi skateboarded) to the church on the corner to wander the cemetery.  There are some interesting stones there and this wonderful angel in marble.


Rhi has been having lots of opportunity to skateboard around on the smooth roadways and cycle/walkways.



It was a bit gloomy and looked like rain so we walked down the the clubhouse theatre and watched Billy Connolly's "What we did on our holiday".  One of my all-time fave films, and we had the theatre to ourselves.

When we got back we played dominoes, lots of games, with me losing.  Then put together make-your-own-burgers for dinner.  After icecream, we watched the latest Jumanji film, now it's time for bed.

    What a wonderful time you have had with Rhi. So good to have this time with her. Such a great creative time. Her leaf prints are stunning.

    When I think of Conkers I think of the series Larkrise to Candleford. Loved that series. There was an episode ro two that had 2 of the men vying for the title of Conkers champ and it forbade them to put them in vinegar. [Bunny]
