Yes I know the picture is over exposed the camera is broken! But I think you can still make out Jean sweeping the front 'garden' bit of the house. Oh my how she wailed about this because to get the broom she had to take her wellies off rather than just stomp through the house in them and there were bricks where she wanted to brush and what do you mean I've got to put it all in the bin bag I thought I just had to make a pile. The neighbours probably thought we were being really mean but she was getting book money for it and had asked to do jobs that would help and then tried to choose the jobs!
Plus in the end she was happily trying to tame street cats and making a game of it and talking excitedly about how she moved a slug etc... In the end she enjoyed but the first bit was hell.
This photo is from a few years ago at the old house - the Christmas after we got the ginea pigs - as you can see they were well loved and we miss them greatly - I think we were so busy at the time that we never really got around to blogging and stuff about them. I may add some back blogs in but just wanted to share this pic with you all.
Along with this one of the run being protected from the sunshine - Jean is sitting under the big umbrella if you look carefully.
I found these two pictures of cats and sleeping people from when we lived at The Bakery 🙂
Jean got an entire stack of books for Christmas - mainly due to the fact she loves reading. She started reading The Worst Witch All At Sea on Christmas Day and within about a week she had finished it.
Excitedly she went and grabbed another book from the pile and too my astonishment read it within a couple of days. And then she picked up a third book from the pile and read it all before the day was out and took her last Worst Witch book to bed with her. She reappeared at about 11 o'clock announcing that she had read the whole of that one too!
She is now back on The Hobbit and is rooted in the fantasy genre, she agrees that we need to go to the library as we can not sustain her book addiction!
The most amazing thing I found was that she worked out she was reading the books in the wrong order due to plot lines and stuff within the books themselves. She wants to own the other Worst Witch books rather than get those ones out of the library.
Her reading speed now exceeds mine though not Alaric's.
I think she is about 3 in these photos - it's definatly pre-school 🙂 If I remember correctly she is being a super hero in two of these pictures and the other one she was doing some random classification of nuts and berries which I was going to blog about but never got around too!
