Abbotsbury Gardens at Night

At long last term has finished! After two hours of walking to and fro everyday and endless rounds of lunch boxes and uniforms we now have a whole week stretching ahead of us to please ourselves! I love it. Rebecca was busy saying she doesn't like school today while Bethany gently reminded her that she doesn't actually go to school yet at the tender age of just 3! Now that school half term has started, the best way for it to begin is to bake cakes and have a picnic. We decided to have a picnic at Abbotsbury Gardens but with a twist. This time of year the gardens are open at night for two weeks and are lit by candle light.
These cakes are the ones that made it into the picnic as they were the first ones decorated and a lovely job the children did of them.



These are the second batch they did and they quickly realised that they may have gone mad with the decorations first time round!

Torch art... ah!! the memories of John's stag weekend are flooding back!
