Summer is so near that we headded to the beach this aftee. Both the kids went swimming at Pembroke, Meriel paddled and Lenny (naturally) flew his kite. Beautiful day, first of many.

Holiday
We just had Georgie, Russel and Sarah to stay. It was a lovely time and now we all think it's quite sad that they've gone. The pics of the holiday in Flickr start with this one of Jo and Georgie walking into the sea (and then running away from the waves).

Out on the bike again
It's been really cold recently, but a break in the weather means that Jonah was straight out on his bike, despite being sick the previous night and morning.

MPG update
This is probably not at all interesting to anyone else out there - but we've got a new figure for fuel efficiency to make ourselves feel smug about having a Prius. 27.5mpg on the Peugeot this time and still averaging 50mpg on the Prius.
Mmmmm - smug :-)

Job done, tea up
Jonah seen with new tower and cup of tea. School is good and reading is progressing well. Both the kids are settling into the routine here, shortly before Summer and the move to the new property upsets the apple cart once again.
More bunches
Things obviously aren't moving too quickly for us to be concentrating on bunches, but at least we have a better picture.

The Prius really DOES make a difference
After a deeply scientific experiment we are now in a position to publish the results of our test to gauge the worth of the Prius.
Not only is the Prius a pleasure to drive and a novelty which still hasn't worn off - it is also twice as efficient as our Pergeot 306 (a less powerful, smaller car). On Guernsey's winding lanes we get 25 MPG in the Pergeot and 50 MPG in the Prius.
Phewww!

Shifting gravel
At Grandma's house the kids shift gravel. It's quite slow, but you can't knock cheap labour. They have (yes, really and honestly) shifted over a ton since September.
Jonah's truck
Jo and Dad built a truck - Jo did the paint job. What a beauty.
He's still enjoying school - although we only have a few grunts of approval as proof of that. He's been put up a reading group, which we assume is really good, especially since he seems to be the youngest in his year - clever boy.

Gherkins
Cara loves 'em. Why? I couldn't tell you.
Meanwhile Jo's reading skills are progressing apace and he's doing really well at school.
Today he went swimming and got his sixth swimming badge (this one's for water skills).

Cara the tiger
Jo and Cara are really starting to play together, which is enormously satisfying to watch.
Here Cara's nicked Jo's tiger mask and is running around terrorising me.

Shoes
Cara has some new shoes - these aren't they, but there's more growing space in the one's she's wearing here. Always being practical, us.

New year kayaking
A morning kayaking today - in the surf. This was a small wave - they weren't all so small (the photographer had left when they got bigger!). A couple of the bigger ones left me swimming. It's cold in that water! No surprises there!
Yesterday we decided to chase away the hangovers and begin the new year with a swim (in wetsuits)in the (much wilder) sea.

Jonah's party outfit
Jo went to Jamie's party on Saturday. It was fancy dress and he went as Santa's little helper.
On the school front, his reading is coming along really well and he seems to enjoy it too.
