We just had a lovely week on the South Western tip of Portugal in a place called Sagres. The main attraction was the four pools on the little resort we were staying at. In fact, we only used two of them. Two was enough! Stella and Affy just absolutely love swimming. Tim invented lots of games with them this time - Albatross, Sea Monsters, Crabs... Most of which involved swimming along the bottom of the pool while trying to escape from Tim as far as I could work out. Even Herbie had fun splashing around in the toddler pool. We'll have him swimming as soon as possible!
Stella is going to be eight soon and we are planning a Harry Potter party with a friend Alice from school who shares the same birthday. Stella is a big fan at the moment of the Harry Potter films. Her other favourite passtime is reading graphic novels, in particular, Elf Quest and Asterix. She also loves drawing. Her favourite lessons at school are art and science. She's also really enjoying learning judo and came home with a gold award trophy at the end of term!
Stella is also enjoying growing freedom - she likes to pop around to her friend Rosie, who lives around the corner, on her own. While we were on holiday she and Affy were able to go to the little shop and buy essentials for us. This is an appreciated development!
These photos are on the trampoline which was conveniently located near one of the restaurants near the beach. Very helpful for peaceful(ish) dinners.
