The girls have been ill for a week. Last Monday Lucy developed tonsilitis, missed play school and was unwell for a few days. Then Amelia finished school early with an upset tummy and over the next few days developed a virus of high temps, sickness, tummy cramps and a rash. The last few days, she was fine, and only had symptoms of an evening. Just waiting for all evidence of it to disappear and then she can go back to school.
They have been enjoying the days off together though - but were going a bit stir crazy today. As it was the first day in over 2 weeks that it wasnt raining - we went out the back of the estate to find mud, puddles and some ponies. Well - we found them all. Enough mud to cover them, puddles deeper than Lucy's wellies and a field of ponies, with one that even came to say hello. They were (stupidly) wearing new dresses I had made them and I could see them getting them stained and ruined so made them tuck them in their knickers!!
We also picked approx 50 dandelions for Fluffy and Strawberry and I have promised we can go back at the weekend in old clothes and get covered in mud - hope it doesnt all dry out!
