rock climbing

So brave and so determined. She didnt reach the top but she gained in height each time she did it, and for my not so physically adventurous daughter this is a real challenge. I am very proud of her.

What a great idea for a chiuldren's party - all of the kids had a cracking time, a sense of achievement and they were so amazingly polite - lots of queueing, waiting for turns etc and not a single complaint or attempt to push in. This generation may turn out to be pretty amazing.

The Peach Keeper - Sarah Addison Allen

I really enjoyed this; it's a read it all in one go type of story which keeps you interested and is beautifully written, but not too deep.

A Game Of Thrones - George R R Martin

Am still reading this mammoth tome, and am enjoying getting to know the characters and the fictional setting. This is the first in a large series so am thrilled that I can be enjoying these characters for months to come. I am tending to pick up and put down; reading chapters at a time as each chapter is from a different persons perspective, but it is a good read so far.
