England - week 14 - circus camp

We have some friends that live in a fabulous house at the end of civilisation with a field that can put up tents that are small and low lying and react well with wind! i think most of us now have tents specifically for their field :) and every whitsun bank for an eternity they have a party. This year lots and lots of friends could make it, including those that now are ridiculously far flung and ultra remote on tiny scottish islands!
So we had a lovely time, chatted to lovely friends, ate lovely food and generally felt loved and happy :) aren't we so lucky to have this family group of friends :) . Kids ran around and were crazy, got totally wet doing a stream walk, had a fab time in their individual groups.

weds onwards- The holiday wasn't over yet though! still a further week of fun and excitement. The children and DH ran away with the circus! Well, they camped in Norfolk as part of a home-ed circus skills camp. I managed to go to the first day, but then i had to go back to work :( It was EVER SO miserable leaving them there to go home.
They got to spend the first day trying out various different circus skills, and BB had a dramatic fall from tightrope and managed to scrape all her shin. they didn't quite have an adequate enough first aid kit, which surprised me, but luckilly I had some dressings at the tent. BB however, was pretty brave and did manage to carry on. luckilly she had already tried aerial - which she had enjoyed - as she then decided she couldnt really do it due to the hurty shin. SB chose to specialise in hoops and then acrobatics. FrB decided to specialise in the aerial. She also did some work with the poi. It all looked so fabulous, and so likely to be a wonderful week it was hard to leave! The kids did all have a great time, and DH took some pics of the circus show they put on.
Various of our home ed friends were there too, so had a fabulous time altogether.
