As I write this the sun is beaming down, so I’m hoping to get this done quickly so I can head out into the garden to enjoy it, once I’ve hung the washing out of course. We’ve been having a run of nice weather for the past week or so which has been nice, and we had our first paddle of the year yesterday, no bathing though as we are not nearly as hardy as the Famous Five.

Letters to Enid part 70

and

Five and the Forgotten Treasure

Something Brodie said recently that make me quite thrilled:

I think I’ll have to read all the Famous Five books myself. When I get better at reading. Yes, I’ll read them all by myself, and then you won’t have to read them to me, Mummy.

I’ve loved reading them with him, but I can’t wait to see him enjoying them by himself too.
