A lovely day.

We took Honey out for a walk this afternoon. We've had some problems with her lately. It's a shame as last week we were having lots of fun with her out in the big yard kicking a ball around and just letting her have a bit of freedom. But then yesterday, big Max the labrador jumped the fence and came over. Honey follows him blindly and he runs out through another yard to the busy road and jumps over his fence again. I think he thinks this is the way to get Honey in to play. But she ends up out on the road and will not come no matter how much we call her back. So she's back to being on a leash when we're outside, or locked in her yard. It's such a pity as I thought she was getting to the stage where we could trust her more. So we took her out for a walk in the woods. It was gorgeous. I love this time of year.

Then we came home, kicked the ball around for a while and then worked some more on Ella's handstands (which has all the boys gettting involved-Kit's itching to do some too), before we carved Kit's pumpkin. I had to help him a bit as he really only has one arm and I didn't want him cutting himself. He chose to do a skull and cross bones. Hope it lasts until Thursday. We have these cool lights you can put inside instead of candles...but they still flicker. Ella thought Lucy looked pretty spooky with a bit of uplighting...

I hope you had a good weekend!
