How the Wind Blows

Today was a good productive day in terms of projects – I have now finished sewing the stuff for my craft room, including an ironing board cover and curtain tiebacks, and the room has been called “the Watermelon room” because of the colour scheme.

Yesterday we went to a baby dedication in Bluehill, on the other side of the island. I hadn’t been that way before, although Nick goes there regularly for bible study and the Head o’Wain chapel is nearby. Wow, it was stunning. You could see the ocean on the left and right in some places, we were really high up. We passed by cows close enough to touch, and we were level with the clouds in some places.

It’s been VERY windy and drizzly again today, but quite nice for a change. Yesterday was also a bit chilly and wet. Maybe tomorrow we will have hot sunshine again, one just doesn’t know. Sunday School yesterday was fine, although over in 20 minutes, but the boys are getting better at paying attention. We have been reading to them a lot with the library books we have access to, and Caleb will really concentrate on what is being read – they are not simply picture books with a few words or silly story, they are proper little stories, some of them quite funny. We have read Postman Pat and Noddy and Balto the Brave Dog and all sorts of other things. Glad that Caleb takes it in though, good preparation for homeschooling. Aaron fidgets about and asks many incorrect questions, but he does actually listen inbetween too.
