Who would have guessed it would be as hot as it was today. When I woke up the day could have been wet or dry. It really could have gone either way. As it turned it the temperature passed the 30 degree mark while we were in Stamford, but more of that later.
The early morning was really uneventful. Catherine was up first, had breakfast and left with plenty of time to get to school. Mean while Emily just made it to school on time as usual. After they had left I finished my coffee had a shower and went to get Lucy.
When we arrived back and Lucy got changed into a dress. The temperature was already rising and it seemed the best course to keep her cool. Today it was the spotty dress that got the thumbs up.
The first part of the morning was spent playing around the house and in the garden. All she needs to do now is master steering her bike while peddling and she has master the art of riding her tricycle.
Once we were done in the garden it was off out to Stamford to feed the ducks, but like the best made plans this one went wrong. There was no where to park need the river. So after driving around for a bit trying to find a parking space we set off for Stamford Recreation Ground.
It quite a nice play area with lots to do for little ones and big ones alike. It was a bit hot to play for long but she had a good time all the same, playing on the slides and roundabouts.
After we finished there we returned to Rutland and popped into Gates Nursery Tea rooms to cool down and have something to drink and eat. It was lovely in the tearooms and to keep cool we sat under the air conditioning unit to keep us cool.
Emily and Catherine came home to the normal greeting from Lucy. Catherine's an hour later than Emily's as she had extra maths after school. It was school report day and I must say I was pleased with both emily and Catherine's report this year. They both did so well and they should be pleased with themselves. They have both worked really really hard and deserve the praise they got. The head teacher called Emily's report "amazing" while her teacher said she has had an "excellent year". She got all 5 in her SAT's tests at the end of the year. Not to be out done Catherine is making excellent progress and has a wonderful report too. well done to both of them for all there hard work.
After dinner the house returned to stillness after Lucy's departure. Emily and Catherine settled down to some time on the computer and I started writing this blog.
It is my weekend to have Lucy so it all starts again tomorrow......
