One evening this week things got a bit crazier than usual in our house. All was calm at tea time and our next few hours ahead looked like being fairly gentle. I had to take the Queen to her swimming lesson, and the Vicar had offered to help a homeless youngster move into some new accommodation, which was going to take him about an hour. Polly’s baby was beginning to get into a sleeping routine.
When I came back from swimming things were looking more frantic. Polly greeted me on the doorstep rolling her eyes. ‘Just ask the Vicar’ she said.
The Vicar now has a stash like this in his study (minus the radishes)
Whilst the homeless teenager was waiting downstairs, the Vicar had been putting the boys to bed. And then another visitor had appeared, asking for money for food. We don’t give money, but we are happy to provide food. The Vicar’s head was spinning so rather than grabbing a few bits from the cupboard, he agreed to take our newest visitor to Sainsbury’s after his homeless teenager rehousing run.
He didn’t get back till after 10pm. But he’d stocked up with supplies to keep in a box in his study. Which came in handy the following evening when SainsburyRunMan returned with another friend in need.
I can’t tell you how much I am looking forward to half term next week.
The Vicar's Wife 
Are you doing anything for half term?
I’m planning on spending most of it in my pjs…. And seeing some friends from Wolves and enjoying a DIY holiday club (come with your kids, bring your own lunch, Vicar to do bible story and runabout games, Vicar’s wife to do a theme song, possibly).
Holiday Club in your PJ’s…. Sounds like fun!
chocolate game and flour game both good fun for things like this – if not sure how to play let me know and I’ll give you the rules!
if weathers good and can go outside also fun to play volley the splod – involves a volley ball net, tea towels to volley with (you do it in pairs) and water balloons!!
if you can get hold of a parachute – can play parachute games too inside or outside.
Thanks Icklesis – that’s helping me get my holiday club head on. I’ll post on the holiday club next week.
