In training

Such a wonderful day! The kids and I pottered and played this morning, including going blackberry picking with Marilyn (the blackberries are now in an apple and blackberry crumble!). In the afternoon Jill and I went for a walk in the hills and for a catch up - we took a pretty overgrown path that ended up with me being stinging nettled on my arms and neck, scratched by brambles with pulls all in my jeans, and stung by something - hahaha - extreme! I wondered whether it was kind of test, but Jill assures me it wasn't!
Home for playing and bbq-ing! Then later a movie all together - would have been wonderful except for one non-compliant toddler....

Today I'm grateful for;
1) M&M's kindness and hospitality...for feeling at home away from home.
2) Evening chats around the table.
3) The fun of blackberry picking (or catching, as Nate described it!).
