Shooting Stars and Space Stations

We had fantastically clear skies in the evenings this weekend ... and I got to see my first shooting stars (and second, third and fourth!). We also saw the International Space Station pass overhead (with Space Shuttle docked) ... well it was more of a "star" moving across the sky but we can still say we saw it.

The last couple of weeks have been pretty hectic - as the weather was so good, we've been out and about. We headed over the Finkley Down Farm in Andover with a friend and her two children and had a lovely day. Lots of farm animals so Callum feed a few goats and also groomed a horse. There's also a pretend cow you could milk too. Big hit with Callum were all the diggers and tractors you could play on.

Children say the sweetest things though. I was driving and the Sat Nav was on. My friends son suddenly piped up and asked "What are Road Bears". I looked at my friend, she looked at me ... both confused. Then the Sat Nav chirps up "Road Bears Right in 500 yards". He'd been looking left and right and couldn't see any. Bless.

We've also been to Beale Park a fair few times, making the most of the season ticket. It's so much busier in the school holidays and you need eyes in the back of your head to keep track of where Callum and his friends are. Dressing them in the brightest possible clothes helps pick them out quite quickly.

We're also well into the rounds of birthday parties for all Callum's little friends. They are all turning two - I really do not know where the last two years have gone.
