As soon as the girls were back last week we were in the usual whirlwind of activity, friends beer festivals, work, a fabulous day out to
Mottisfont with the National Trust (they have a great Quentin Blakes kids trail on at the moment which I highly recommend), shopping and very very sadly
losing favourite teddies. Anyways it's still summer hols so I don't have time to chat so on with the pictures...

A lovely Tortoiseshell Butterfly was fluttering around the garden between showers |

When they have had a spare moment the girls have been inspired by the change4life 10 minute shake up campaign and this was Olaf's summer dance apparently! |

We visited National Trust's Mottisfont to see the Quentin Blake exhibition and the girls did the Adventure Quest wher you get to write your own book and I have to say it was brilliant with fabulous play places and lots of imagination. I think it runs until 14th September - well worth a visit. |

I loved this bench at Mottisfont in one of the play areas, a quiet spot for contemplation |

The enticing gate into the enormous walled garden at Mottisfont - need to go back as I didn't have time to explore properly.

I know I have done a separate blog post on this but I had to put this in again as it has made us all very sad this week as we have lost Spencer - I know he is only a soft toy but he was very special so just in case you see him please let us know - he was lost in Southampton on Wednesday 20th August - his story is here.

Linking up as always with fab the Boy and Me - do go and see what everyone else has been up to:
Really beautiful photos of your girls.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine how you feel about the lost toy. My daughter's teddy is so precious to her that the thought of losing him makes me feel sick, luckily we never have!
You have inspired me to go to Mottisfont to see the exhibition. Am just facebooking a couple of friends to sort out a date. We are starting an illustration course in September so it is very apt. Thanks for drawing it to me attention. Ha. no pun intended!
ReplyDeleteHope you find teddy! I love that umbrella photo actually the pictures of your girls are all beautiful.
