baking

We have spent much of the last week or so trying to sort our tax and social security status in Spain out, it has been rather complicated but we are making some progress at last and we have been getting the children ready for school, A bit of a shock when we picked up the school books...almost 300 euros worth and I don't think we will be able to claim any of it back again. Today must be the hottest day of the year it was a misty sunrise,although we seem to sit in a lovely clear gap with mist above, below and all around us.

that is usually a good indication of hot weather ahead and it just went on getting hotter and hotter, now its around 6 pm and everything out side is singing hot, way too hot to go out really.

 

Rowan did some more work on our tree house that is now going to be a sort of pirate sailing ship  in the woods hopefully.

The pumpkins are coming along well and the hens are on regular caterpillar hunting duty in the cabbages just now. 

One of our Brugmansias is starting to flower we did not expect it too in its first year hopefully tomorrow the first one will be open.
