Here we are in what appears to be a bleak mid winter time warp, wearing fleeces and using our summer fun tent as a full blown kite trying to fly down a field with children hanging on to guide ropes!
Anyway Summer isn't all about the weather (a good job too!) it's catching up with friends.... So a few days after arriving back from France we welcomed "The Ss" friends from our Fetcham days
...
Chaos and mayhem.... maybe but fun, fellowship and laughter abounded as the house resounded with the jolly noises of nine children and their four adults... The children braved the tents at night until the rains dampened the girls' fun but other than a damp Sunday, we managed to catch up on sleep, reading of books, and some sightseeing
; 
visitingTattershall castle
where the boys danced to a tune of their own as everyone tried on costumes...
PS: we didn't lose a child if anyone is counting! Leah was safely in the backpack so obviously wasn't "in" the photos.
Belton house
(well it's adventure playground and maze) took on the challenge to entertain and tire the brood and succeeded admirably!
No sooner had we made our sad farewells to Rob, Sarah, Holly, April, Jacob and Poppy, than another friend from early Billinghay days arrived; thanks for coming over Jo and Billy
!.... The boys
tent was placed inside the polytunnel for safety as with the gusts ripping the large tent we didn't want reports of three boys doing a wizard of oz and finding themselves half way down to London! Note the ingenuity of those recognising the benefit of being close to a power point.....no home comforts spared!
Today gave me just about time to take the children to the local pool and finish my book before thoughts of packing up again for our camping weekend at the Grapevine celebration at Lincoln showground... Think of us and pray for nice weather..... please?!
