Cinnamon Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Devon was away at Sea cadets camp all weekend,so I got to spend lots of time just with Cleo. When you have your second child,you never seem to spend time alone with them,so that was a real treat. The weather was gorgeous,& today we went to The Beale Park in Pangbourne, where we saw a sow about to give birth,some japanese Bantams,baby owls & baby ducklings My family were very impressed when at the petting zoo I pointed to some chickens & said with great authority "THATS a Buff Orpington" So,I hope you all had a good a weekend as I did - especially those at the meet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 Sounds lovely Sarah. It's always nice to spend time with your children individually, isn't it. Lovely weather for the last day of the holidays too! I had a cracking day at the get together and hope everyone else did too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradders Posted June 4, 2006 Share Posted June 4, 2006 (edited) I passed through Henley on Thames this morning Sarah - I took part in the Round Table Three Counties Cycle Ride (I did the 30 mile route) My legs are a little sore to say the least.

Cinnamon Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Cinnamon - hows Devon getting on with the Cadets? Still interested? Yes,she seems to love it. Its beyond me - I would have rebelled against the discipline myself,but I reckon it won't do her any harm. She had a great weekend camping by the river.They were there for 3 days,all meals included for £10,which is brilliant! She came home all beached blonde & tanned from the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 5, 2006 Author Share Posted June 5, 2006 Beale Park is lovely Cinnamon I organised our company summer social there a couple of years ago and they were very helpful. They have done a lot of work there since I was there a couple of years ago Clare,& it is a vast improvement. It was lovely - spotlessly clean,shaded walks,lovely lakes,big Picnic lawns,kids paddling pools.........maybe a good place for an Omlet meet one day? ( & I know how to get to Beale park ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcat Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 Glad she's enjoying it. sounds like she could be in for the long haul then! Well, until they do a camp in less than clement weather (I still have shivers of dread on cold windy nights, thinking about all those freezing, wet weekends...)

kannie Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 We had a great time at the get together, but also bought a new TV on Saturday! The previous one was 20 years old, and had an awful picture, but we didnt feel we could get rid of it till it broke down! When it did so during the week it was cause for great celebration! New TV is digital and very nice! Much better picture - will have to try not to watch any more now! Very expensive though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
