Thea played some hockey (that's her on the ground!):
And there was a bit of snow:
Then, of course, the weather became tedious and february-y - grey and drizzly and cold. I made the most of a suddenly mild and blustery day and found time for a quick walk around the walls. It's easier to appreciate the fun place that we live in from up high!
Saturdays continued with Ian playing hockey and Thea and I finding stuff to do while Nathaniel was in choir. The sweet shop featured highly.
And Nathaniel met Tasmin Little at a violin masterclass. Nathaniel managed to be interested for 90 minutes (not bad!) and learnt all about how some kids don't know how to hold up their violin, and that even famous violinists do the same things for practice that his teachers recommend! He then became all creative in a coffee shop and drew interesting patterns.
Things are still busy!
