BBQ at the Martin's

BBQ at the Martin's this afternoon.

Loads of food, quite a bit of wine and a good laugh with the Smiths and the Goldings.

The younger members of the families went to the park and came back when it rained ... Really wet.

Isle of Wight

Clara's off on a school holiday to the IOW today. She left in high spirits to arrive at school at normal time. The coach was due to leave at 9:30 arriving at HMS Dockyard at 12:15 for lunch and a visit to a submarine - HMS Alliance.

The ferry crossing is at 4:30 and they will then go to the hotel for a fire drill with free time on the beach.

Saturday is a trip to Alum Bay and a walk to Tennyson Down.
Sunday is Robin Hill Country Park and Dinosaur Isle followed by a Disco.

Postcard home.

Monday a visit to Amazon on the way home. To be collected at 4:30  we await more exciting information from Clara on her return.

Last Aylesford Primary School Sports day

Clara had her last sports day at primary school and the last Spree family sports day at Aylesford Primary School.  Fire House had a great reputation to uphold, they haven't lost since before Cameron's time - no pressure.

The different format (afternoon for years 3,4,5 and 6) meant mum and dad could attend.

Fire were second after the carousel events; tunnel ball, speed bounce, javelin and hockey. But there was still all to play for.

Clara was in the 100m sprint and 100m relay against her arch rival Ella Weeks... She came 2nd...again. It was a good race and Ella and Clara shook hands after.

Then the final scores were announced by Mr Geedah, in a very fetching outfit it must be said.

Fire had won AGAIN.  :-)
