Sorry, have had a busy weekend and just not got round to being on computer. So am going to have to combine a few days here.
So, firstly Saturday...Autumn Food Walk today at Capstone Park. Lovely two hour walk around the park (it is vast) looking at berries and nuts and some greens that we could eat now. Lots about at the moment including elderberry, damson, sloes, apples, pears, rose hips and wild carrot. Weather kind of held out although we did get some short downpours it wasn't anything that soaked us completely.
Spent the afternoon in the garden cutting back herbs, and clearing up. Used our washing machine drum fire pit for the first time, which Callum loved. He even got brave enough to pop some bits in. Rosemary and sage wood smelt beautiful when burnt but obviously smoked a lot as it was green. Luckily no-one had washing out on the line.
Sunday I was out all day with a couple of friends at Faversham and Belmont House for their Country Fair. Callum had a day with his dad. They dug over a corner of the garden where I want to put trees and then made a start of some models that Callum bought at the Model Show at RE Museum. They are quite small, but are the ideal size for his tanks and soldiers that he has upstairs. Will post some photos when they are finished.
Monday, back to school. Although we were both pretty shattered after all the fresh air of the weekend. Concentrated on Science. We're doing Acids and Alkalines this week. Was nice to just curl up on sofa and have a big talk rather than doing loads of worksheets. Rest of day was spent in kitchen cooking. Cauliflower moussaka. Callum wanted some of it too for dinner, so I cooked extra + a portion for freezing. Then baked apples dish style. I've got some apples that I'm not sure of the insides, so we wedged them and then layered them with dried fruit, brown sugar, crystallised ginger and knobs of butter and baked them. Was lovely!!! Yum!
Today, more science, but actually testing for acids and alkalines in household stuff and back to some maths and literacy. 
This afternoon was off to the hall for a meet up and for Harry's 7th birthday party. Had a great time and although Callum didn't join in the games (he rarely does), he enjoyed himself and that's what counts. Thanks Harry for the invite.
