damage to the Maltings, and Mushrooms.

Talking to jill T about the book The. Triumph of the Moon, she doesn't like the look of it, as she thinks its a pagan book, and is worried by it,

Dad has been reading it and says its quite interesting, has read a page or two about a church in it, and recommends it. Jill is now curious, so asks dad to show her the page, and dad opens the book to the page but finds he has got pasta on the page he was reading, so he has to brush it off before he can show it to her.

Me and james are in wellow in the garden.

We are in the habit of playing a game of rolling logs down the hill.

The game consists of 2 giant logs, about 6 or 7 meters in length, and about a meter and a half in diameter.

Rolling logs this size down a hill, would, as anyone could imagine, be extremely dangerous. Well, we don't roll them far. One of the logs we keep in a fixed position half way down the hill and then when we role the other one, it crashes into this one and stops.

One day james has a few friends come round to visit. 2 ladies and boy. We tell them about the game. They get one of the logs rolling with a big push, and it rolls down towards the other log.
This time it hits the stable log and for some reason it bounces over the log and continues rolling down the hill.

Oh no! Its heading for the house!! There is nothing we can do, so we just hope and pray everything will be ok.

The log bounces up just before hitting the house and crashes into house, amazingly not breaking the windows or the wall.

We run into the house to check if everything is ok. Dad asked what happened. He is upstairs. "Your always causing more mess" he says. "Look at these floor boards, they are all out of line"

He shows us the floor boards on the landing. A few of them have been completely blown out of place by the shock of the log.


Dad gets to work on mending the floor.

I am with a large group of friends up the porter valley.

We are doing some environmental redevelopment work in the woods and fields. Mr Boardman, the PE teacher has been leading us. We are now having to put gravel over a big load of plastic, under which there is sand.

"You could have at least watered the sand before hand" he says.

I don't get it.

I am now out with Bendle foraging for Mushrooms.

Its nearly magic mushroom season, I think to myself.

It has been very damp, and its good timing. I think I am with Rich from Coed too. Bendle finds these ones that are a deep purpley blue colour, with gnome like hats on the top.

This one he finds is an old one, it is big and he wants to show us the spores. He picks it up and shows us underneath.
