18 Jul Of Snow, and Taekwondo, and Pots

(I missed this one from way back!! Silly me!!)

Hello all!  It has been none stop for us! School holidays over, school back in practice again, oh boy!
Malachi and Hadassah have their own pots some full of plants, others just seeds, but they are looking after them with gusto!




And I've got some lovely winter colour in the garden





Am really happy with my garden at the moment! It doesn't look too bad considering it has been both drowned and frozen by Mother Nature, eh?
Malachi and Hadassah have also started Taekwondo lessons. Remember I mentioned Hadassah is so shy we didn't know what to do with her? Well she is responding beautifully to the teachers! We had a small anxious moment last lesson when everyone was asked to jog on the spot, and Dass refused, but just stood there, and the teacher jogged over and stood in front of her and jogged right there till she started too. I do not know whether she even meant to do it, but did it simply because he was right infront of her, holding eye contact, and jogging! Whatever it was, it worked, and she did everything that was asked of the class, yay!! We haven't even put any money down yet, because the teacher wanted to make sure the children would respond to what was asked of them, first.
Yes, snow! We went up to Mt St Gwinear. It was rather a hairy trip, as at the foor of the incline the big sign said Warning! Snow chains beyond this point!
...
We decided to chance it, and made it to the top okay (going very slowly!) but we realize if it had been any wetter we coouldn't have done it!
There wasn't any snow in the car park, and we all got worried that there wouldn't be any, but as we started to climb we found it, so all was well !!
Here are some shots of our visit









We were very happy to get back to the car and duck into the change rooms and get into dry clothes, let me tell you! Hehe!
