Nine of our ten were under our roof this past week or so. There have been a lot of trains and planes and touring happening. In between there was a lot of volleyball, soccer, football, and board game playing. A fair amount of Olympics viewing. And many hours of Lark Rise.
Oh. my. word. I can't document the past couple weeks without mention of viewing the entire first season of Lark Rise, based upon the memoirs of Flora Thompson. The girls are anxiously awaiting the original books. BBC we heart you.

You don't let a little English rain stop you. Makes you grow. : )

Their makeshift 'net'. They are nothing if not innovative. Anything to get a game going. <g>
It has been a wonderful whirlwind-y visit.
Though a less wonderful haircut. (on me) I am working on that one.
Hooray! Another LRtoC fan!! We love the show and made our way through the entire series last year. Lovely photos of your family. :)

We recently discovered Larkrise too. My girls and I are going through them far too quickly though. I have yet to get the books, but they are on my list. BBC often amazes me!
I think you look lovely! And playing in the rain does, indeed, make one grow. I grew up near Seattle, so I know. :)

The book(s) and series sound wonderful. From the description, it sounds a bit like a trilogy of books about growing up in New Zealand - _The Drovers Road Collection_ by Joyce West. If you haven't read them yet, I think you would like them. I will try to link to the Amazon page. Not sure if it worked.
