Down on the farm!

Beautiful spring sunshine, a brand new car (very pleased with my A4!) and a family tucked in the back looking for a great day out (as well as Super Tommy) - so off to the farm we went! After feeding ourselves with a spot of lunch we moved onto to feeding the lambs, goats and chickens. Both girls were slightly concerned by the 'where does our roast dinner come' from conversation, declaring the lambs were way too cute to eat. Not in my book - they looked delicious to me! Rounded off the day with a bracing walk in the countryside, Lucy was very pleased as she may well have found some Roman pottery. As Anna and Amy sped on in front of us to facilitate one of Anna's many trips to the toilet, Lucy and I pottered at the back chatting and discussing history and what she would like to do when she grows up. At the moment it is a toss up between Archaeologist and Teacher. I personally would be pleased and very proud if she did either, however after extensive and detailed discussion she settled on teacher as they earn more money!! We do have to confess to slightly cheating in the Easter egg letter hunt to get chocolate today...oops! We continue the television ban and the girls are discovering new things to entertain themselves - Anna is now playing draughts and I have to say doing quite well if a little creative in bending the rules....
