Well It has been a while since a Week that Was Post… and what can I say, if that was winter, then we didn’t really have it…
There was rain, but hardly any…
And cold enough for bedtime cocoa, but not freezing…
And it looks like marshmallow season is here…
And late nights…
Otherwise… weeks of pirate play…
And heaps of science fun…
There were repairs…
Essential repairs…
And always hikes…
And of course feasting…

Our Book of the Week…
My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrel: This is our family read-a-loud at the moment and has everyone in stitches every morning as we try and keep ourselves to one chapter a day. This is the story of Gerald Durrell’s childhood, when his family lived in Corfu for a season. Gerald was the youngest of four children and the characters are so brought to life that we can see each other in them. The older siblings all have to endure a younger brother who collects endless creepy crawlies, and little critters… and keeps the as precious pets. There is nothing funnier than real life and the life and times of this eccentric family leaves us in stitches.

Mmmm ice cream
Always good Katja, I could eat icecream every single day!!! Thank you so much for stopping by!!!
Beautiful week! Oh, by the way: have you ever watched My Family and Other Animals movie? There are at least a couple of them, and they are good albeit quite different, but I’d especially recommend the 1987 series (it consists of 10 episodes). It’s funny and sweet and surprisingly high-quality in terms of the beauty of the nature (sometimes looking like professional National Geographic filming). I am sure your kids and you would love it.
Hi Renee… Thank you so much, that is a great idea… I am definitely going to look out for those, we have about three chapters to go and that would make a great finale!!! Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope you have a great week!!!
