Matilda and colour in our garden

 Matilda was wonderful yesterday the staging was fantastic and the children carried the show. The little girl playing Matilda was amazing - so much work. 

London was so so hot though! and the train packed (with no working air conditioning) which made the journey home quite unpleasant. 

We did quite a lot of people watching during the day - plenty of wonderful hats! Ascot is one of the stops for our train!

 It was lovely to arrive home to our beautiful garden. Paul has worked hard and it is looking so wonderful. Full of summer colour.

I am looking forward to a few quieter days now! My feet are exhausted with all the walking I have done over the last week and my muscles are very tired. As I am understanding my body better it is easier to cope with. I feel much less frustrated by what I can't do knowing all that I can do. Being stricter with rest days is really helping - especially writing them into the diary.

 I am beginning to plan what to do with Chloe's room when she  moves to Kent. I need a project to fill my time. So I am hoping to make her room into a craft room - I have always wanted a place to be able to leave stuff out during its making. It would be good to have everything in one place and easily accessible. So this will be my plan for August.
