Good enough to eat..

at least that is what a rogue mosquito thought of sam. He developed an allergic reaction to the bite and his left leg swelled to twice its size. We managed to see the dr the same day it got bad and he was given antibiotics and told to keep of his leg. So friday instead of going to nottingham castle with art group we spent the day at home-sam on the sofa watching dvds and me ironing. We also managed a top gear style geography lesson. Sam has decided to find out where cars come from so we spent a nice hour tracking things down on line. Did you know that the Dacia comes from Romania and that the Roman name for Romania is Dacia? History and geography all from cars, home ed doesn't get much better.

Sam's leg was much better by sat morning so we set out for a sightseeing day in lincoln. It is a beautiful city and we had great fun exploring the castle and steep hill.

Sunday we went down to see Nan, Matt's grandmother. Matt and I hadn't seen her since xmas, though sam saw her last month. It was lovely to see her and we all enjoyed lunch at a garden center so posh that it didn't seem to sell plants, unless you wanted giant acers at £4000!! We all enjoyed the day, sam and nan especially, they seem to delight in each other's company. When asked what his favorite part of the day was he replied "seeing nan", which is not something you expect from a 7 year old.
