Mid-Autumn Festival and Hatchlands Park

Image
It was the Mid-Autumn festival at the Chinese Association of Woking this weekend. The kids were involved in the show held at St John the Baptist Catholic school in both the Lion dance and Wu Tan Kung Fu display! What a proud mum and dad to see their children taking part. Kung Fu performance Lion Dance procession with the Mayor of Woking Posing with Lion dance leggings On Sunday we had the usual 8.30am (8.30am!) swimming lessons for Jasmine and Marco. By mid-day da decided to view a possible new family car in Epsom. We were interested in the Carens with the panoramic sunroof, leather interior, 7 seats and folding door mirrors (!) but, unsurprisingly, we could not negotiate a good deal and left it there.

Screwfix Live 2018

This weekend we did our annual trip to Screwfix Live in nearby Farnborough. Lots of freebies and kids activities as usual. There was a "Hit the button" game where we were rewarded with lvoely slinky toys, loads of free pens, Screw Fix footballs (yay! ...but need pumping) and the usual "£30" bag of goodies which they seem to be giving away for free anyway! The goody bag included things such as AA batteries, paint brushes, cable ties, hardware gloves, Yale lock etc. good quality items. At the same time, Kay was hagning out with her Aldershot friends in the town center.
