Advent 2016 - Day Twelve

'Arwwe', Morning Bobby, Hamish says as he scratches his head and yawns.

Morning Hamish. Bobby replies.

Bobby wastes no time in getting the window open today!

He reaches inside.

Gets out the package

Opens it up

Tips it out

and makes it 'just like that'  with no time to waste.

Goodness me Bobby, Hamish says.  Are you on energiser batteries this morning?

No.  Why do you ask? Says Bobby.

Well you barely drew breath as you made that!  Hamish tells him.  Well come on, what is it?

It is a street light of course!  Bobby says laughing.

Well high five then Bobby.  Hamish says.  On a job well done.

On that note the boys 'High Five' and then go about their business....whatever that may be!

Advent 2016 - Day Eleven

Hamish and Bobby decided it was their turn to open the Advent Calendar.  After much discussion they decide that Hamish could go first.

Bobby points out where the door is.

Hamish reaches up

opens the door

and pulls out the little package.

Look at these, lots of little tiny bits.  He tells Bobby.

I wonder what these will make?

It doesn't take him long.

Look it is a little tree of sorts with lights on it.  He shows Bobby.

What fun!

A Summer Music Festival - Practising.

There is a lot of music going on here at Rose Cottage at the moment...both inside and outside of the house.

Bobby has been practising his guitar in the garden, enjoying the inspiration nature brings him.

Edith has found her flute, much to her relief and is now busy catching up on her preparation with the help of Peggy Sue.

Peggy Sue looks up at her to see her cue for when to start.

Hamish is busy practising his cornet.

Henry waits patiently with his clarinet.

Seems Hamish is going to be playing for a bit longer yet.

Later on Henry accompanies Peggy Sue..

Peggy Sue has been very diligent with her Cello playing.

Anne-Marie joins them on the violin.

A lovely trio of music.

These two girls have been working hard together.  Sometimes the two sisters get on so well and it is good to see them progress.

As to the Sasha girls...I am not sure what has been going on there...but there has been much banging and percussion type 'music' happening...and apparently no one is allowed to know what they are preparing yet...

Advent 2015 - Day Twenty Three

Hamish and Bobby are 'hanging out' chatting - they are wondering what Father Christmas might bring them this year....they are pretty sure they have been good 'most of the time'.

Hi Guys, Henry says as he approaches.  I was wondering where you were.  Do you want to open the window today Bobby.  

Henry's older brother Bobby is pleased to be chosen to open the calendar today.  He has been hoping he would get a turn.  They all look for window number 23.

It doesn't take Bobby long to spot it.

Right here at the top.  He says.

He opens it.

Reaches inside

Pulls out a little bag

Some treasures in here I think.  Bobby says.

The boys look on.

Come on then, open it Bobby. Says Hamish.

Bobby opens it.

Oh look, a baby dragon and something else.  He holds out his hands to show the boys.

I think I will put it down by the treasure chest.  

He looks up.  What do you think?

Looking good Bobby.

The scene is almost complete!  One more day.
