Stage 2 Swimming Badge - Scouts
Springy just earnt her Stage 2 Scouts swimming badge. She swam 100m, did 3 minutes treading water, did a mushroom float, had to glide from the side for 2m, had to dive in, and do 30 m featuring 3 different swimming strokes - lots of effort involved for all of them.

Profound insight by Springy
Springy: "This spoon would be good for poor people as it has a hole in it, so if they didn't have food it wouldn't matter..."

Roman Palace
Today we went to the Fishbourne Roman Palace and Springy joined the Roman Army. She had to learn archery, slingshot, sword, spear and took part in a drill. She also ate Roman style food and made a poultice in her brief Roman medicine lesson. She rode a Roman horse (wooden but with a Roman soldier hat) and we played 9-...Man Morris. She even got paid her day's coinage and became a Roman citizen!

Walks in the Mist
Today we went on 2 walks down the farm path (including one this evening with the torch - we even had "pirate" mist). We also made purple almondoil/lavender essential oil soap, discussed hibernation, did some sorting out and played with the Sylvanian families amongst other things.

RIP Frazzle
Our beloved Frizzle-feathered Pekin Bantam - Frazzle - died. We're really going to miss her. She would follow us around, come up to the back door and would sometimes wander into the kitchen on her quest for maize. When we first got her she would follow Springy all over the garden...

Today our beautiful Sarah guineapig passed away. Springy and I both keeping crying because we will miss her very much. I knew last night that today would be her last and she went this morning. We've buried her in the front garden under the comfrey and by the roses. Our other guineapig Rose is going to need a lot more cuddles now that she on her own without her sister.
