Staying In

I was up early to greet Ellie, who cycled around with Zoe driving as an escort. There was no rush to get ready for school, no hurry to get out, just a relaxed breakfast and start to the day. We had planned to go to Chichester with Ellie, but said she wasn't interested so we stayed put.


During the morning I got on with some admin and then scanned some documents. Ellie was up in her room reading, and Di was pottering about prior to Lottie's arrival. Just after Lottie arrived, Ellie and I set out for some fresh air. Ellie rode her bike, and I walked. We made our way around to the postbox to mail some birthday cards. We then looped back around by the lake and stopped at the park for Ellie to let off some steam.

Leaving the park, we looped back around the lake again and this time stopped at another park where Ellie played on the climbing apparatus and balance beams.

We headed back home for some lunch. Ellie wanted to watch the TV in the Orangery. I hadn't used this TV since we installed the new router. I had to reset the network settings to get it working, but it was soon providing YouTube Kids to keep Ellie happy.

We all spent most of the afternoon in the Orangery until Zoe came to collect Ellie just before five o'clock.
