Some pictures from the weekend. John is away so I reckoned we all needed to keep busy. Although Lily had other ideas......... she is very little, I don't think she will ever be a big cat.
It is hard work being so much loved by four little people!
Friday after school kitchen cuddles from big brother Angus.
Katie is someone else in our house who is very much adored. She is growing up to believe it is normal to have an adoring crowd.
Fish and chips supper at North Berwick. Very windy. Looking at the Bass Rock out to sea.
From our table - east along the coast.
And the other way - west along the coast
Too windy for anyone else at the
Rocketeer Restaurant. We were planning to go to
The Lobster Shack but it was closed.
Isn't it a beautiful town?
Cutting paper for papier mache.
Gluing papier mache. I used the glue recipe (rather than my usual flour and water which is okay but not brilliant) from
Handmade Home.
Trying to dry.....it has taken a few days in this damp weather!
Yay - finished. I covered the template bowls in tin foil before layering on the paper. It should have peeled off once the paper was dry but it didn't want to so the bowls are foil lined - oh well.
Filled with biscuits decorated by the children. End of term (Friday, yay) presents for teachers. Just need to decorate some paper bags now.
Bit more fresh air.
A walk in the
woods next to the house I grew up in.
I love it there - and miss living in the countryside. One day.

Lovely photos of your weekend! Making papier mache bowls that takes me back to my childhood! Great snack storage! Thanks for becoming a follower! My blog updates don't show up so please drop by from time to time! Blogger always shows that I posted a year ago!
Have a great week!
June
Ooops, just realised I wasn't an official follower - have now fixed that!
Our cat seems very small too, I think they're not fully grown till they're about two.
I've been to North Berwick for tea once. It was during a stay in Gullane for a wedding when our car broke down and we had to get towed home. Would like to go back one day, perhaps we'll go for a day trip these holidays if the weather ever improves...
CAN I come to see you...love your cute cat ,the coast and your kids
enjoy summer
June - will try to remember to visit you but I may be a bit erratic without reader to remind me! Juliex
Anne - definitely worth a visit - and I'm sure the same must be true of many places around you, it always looks beautiful in your posts. Juliex P.S. Shame about the way you had to get home from your last visit!
Kay - welcome any time! Juliex
Lily looks so much like our cat Twinkle she is small too!
I loved your photos of the North Berwick despite it being overcast.
What a great present for the teachers I'm sure they will appreciate them so much.

Sarah - I hope the teachers do like them, the kids (and me!) have put a lot of effort into it. Juliex
I love picture posts like this... it makes me feel like I could have been right there with you all, you know?
The bowls look great, I'm sure the teachers will love them. How can it be nearly the end of term already?
Those woods look wonderful, how lucky you were to grow up so close!
