A hat arrives.

The girls were delighted when something arrived for them in the post today.

It was Julia's new hat that matches her sister Judie's.

They both donned their hats and went outside to smell the roses while the sun was shining.

Julia looks so very pretty in her new hat.

They were also delighted to know that a new book had arrived...

As mentioned by DollMum in her comment the other day, Mum couldn't resist seeing if she could get hold of a copy for the girls...thinking it might be fun for them to enact some of the stories from within the bool.  Of course she has been informed by the girls that she also has to make some costumes!

The girls, Henry & Rory, will be away for a few days now and will return to blogging early next week.

A train drivers cap please

Next week Henry and his friends are going to be going on a train and of course what do they want but train drivers caps!

Hmmm...how to make one?

'Ingredients'

Pencil

Paper

Tape Measure

A pair of unused new black sports shorts of my younger son that he refused to wear 

Some leather scraps

and voilà!

One down, two to go...

"Hey Henry, I've got my train cap on as well!"

"Who is the cap for that you are holding under your arm?" Harry asks Henry

"This is for one of the boys we are going to stay with", replies Henry.  "I'm not sure who is going to have it yet"

"Cool" says Harry.

"I wonder if Mum will make us some overalls as well?"

Fortunately Mum doesn't hear that comment, otherwise she might have called out, "Don't push it Henry!"
