Western Park Museum

Googs asked to go to the museum.
Western park museum is quite small but all the exhibits are really hands on so the kids love it. A model kitchen
A recipe book from 200 years ago! It includes the usual; cheesecake and well as the unusual; hedgehog!

Bone marrow holder
The older two took an exhibit worksheet to complete.
toys from the last 60 years or so.

I found Googs in the book corner.

I loved this painting but I am not sure why. maybe the eyes and the contrast of black and white.
neptunes vase 1800's Italy
admiring mosaics
1750's jug for beer.
1800's China. The carving was amazing!

A great place to go when the weather is bad.

Autumn is here!

Autumn is here, it is our busiest season! The house just seems to buzz with activity. Obviously that buzz, at times, breaks out into squabbles :o) This is another bits and pieces post. I am really not sure what I have done to the layout...

Baking! Can you guess who got to lick the bowl?

Champ has been making lots of spiders
And all the rain means lots of puddles, great to try out the new wellies!

Drying the wellies required the fan heater as the puddles ended up inside.
