Pumpkin Olympics

It was half term last week and Ben, Claire, Thomas and Sophie came to stay with us for a few days. We had the usual fun and games - this time Thomas's ever popular mini Olympics consisted entirely of running and throwing events on the Millennium Green in the village. After that he still had the energy to take his Dad and Granny on a five mile cross country walk into Sherborne, although they had to telephone for a lift back! On the last afternoon we went to the Pumpkin Olympics at Ansty Pick Your Own farm, five miles east of Shaftesbury on the A30. Here there were 20 games or competitions involving pumpkins or marrows in one way or another and we all had a go. Great fun.
