Weald and Down Museum

We went for a day out at the Weald and Down Museum today.  Daddy, Lisa and Joe...
Karen checking out some of the old buildings...
Bonkers for conkers.  They were reviving the old knuckle smashing fun of conkers.  The kids loved it.  I wonder if they could take them to school on Monday?!
Lisa's favourite house. 16th Century 'Pendean Farmhouse' from Midhurst...
Inside the Pendean Farmhouse.  "Can we move here Dad?"
Lisa looking out :-)
Race down the hill.

School Assembly

Me and Karen went to see Joe and his class singing a variety of songs in assembly.  Both in English and French.  Guy Fawkes was very impressed...
