Chestnut biscuits and homemade Nutella

We tried our new electric circuit kit out today. Fantastic set! Really really good. (A very good £1.50 spent!!!)  The pieces all click together so easy to make the different circuits. The book has about 120 different ones to complete so lots of different ones to learn and understand.
I explained the concept again and showed the bees a couple of basic ones but from then on big bee made several circuits on her own, following the instructions herself. Amazing! Little bee watched for a while and helped a bit but then wandered off to play with his fire engine. 
Simple lamp circuit.
Oooh sound effects! She loved this! Me however, hmmm, rather piercingly loud! Lol! 
Built on her own!
Straw Model building time
Having a little music lesson on the iPad.
This afternoon little bee had a play next door with his little cousin while me and big bee baked.
We made homemade 'Nutella' (dairy and refined sugar free) and also chestnut biscuits.
Both amazing recipes. I was blown away by the Nutella! Gorgeous and so easy to make.
The biscuit recipe big bee actually done on her own. 1 cup chestnut flour, 1/2 cup coconut oil, and 1/4 cup of honey. She was able to measure and get mixed up by herself while I 'peeled' the hazelnuts for the Nutella.
Whizzing up the roasted/peeled hazelnuts..
Plus other ingredients and we have Nutella!
Yummmmmmmmmeeeeeeee!






















Fluffy friend at the park

Little bee made a friend today ;-) made his day :-)
Home from park and a quick sit on the new digger! 








Camping at the farm

Fab weekend spent in our caravan at hubby's mum and dads.
We popped into town for a look round then visited the park on the way back. Lovely park, unfortunately didn't end well as I ended up standing in a big pile of dog poo. Somehow spread it all over myself so we had to leave rather sharp ish! Lol! Still.. Was nice before the poo incident!
We had a bonfire party Saturday night, lovely yummy foodies, bonfire, and fireworks!
Little bee loved playing with his little cousin B
The huge fire!
Fireworks!
Big child me, I had a sparkler! Big bee took this piccy which I was quite impressed by! Very hard piccy to take in low light.
Big bee doing her colouring book. She was doing this for ages!
Playing in the caravan
Loved staying in our little portable home. So cosy!
Bath time!
Movie time for us once the bees were asleep!
Really lovely lovely weekend! We all enjoyed ourselves, the bees didn't actually want to leave!
Thank you so much to Mum/dad in law for having us stay and to Mum in law S for all your yummy wonderful gluten/dairy free bits you done. It is really appreciated. My Roast dinner and apple crumble went down lovely for tea. A real treat! Xx
