It’s another busy week! Lucy begins her new swimming lesson, on Friday afternoons. (It’s a private class!) We have a weekend playdate at Lucy’s friend’s house; then Uncle Simon comes to visit. On Sunday, Arlo has a piano concert; and the weather is cooperative for an early-afternoon trip to Happy & Healthy Bike Lane, where we stay for over 2 hours.
Mum’s away for most of the week in India, but back just in time for Arlo’s Senses Spa at school, where the Y1s showcase what they’ve been working on so far this year; and also in time for a lovely birthday celebration.

It was a very windy, stormy night. In addition to this tree, almost every plant on our balcony was toppled.

I think it's Lucy's first time here since she mastered the pedal bike, and her skills show.
