Jack and Katrina's Place

We've made it through the first term at school. After a quiet start Guy has come to love his new school and is really enjoying learning to read and writing stories. They make really good use of the class computer, here is a penguin Guy made, by drawing it on paper and then his teacher copied it onto fabric and he painted it and made a stuffed toy. His class did a play about penguins at assembly and Guy distinguished himself by confidently addressing the school.

 This is our harvest of potatoes we grew in a sack on the deck. The dark ones grew almost black leaves and when dug up have an almost metallic purple sheen. The tastiest ones where the pale yellow purple ones, patchy looking but lovely buttery taste. Next year I'll throw in more compost and fatten them up a bit.
