The people who we bought our house from must have been fantastic gardeners – flowers of many different colours and varieties pop up one after the other. And when one kind dies, another kind takes it’s path. This is a rainbow of colours in our garden at the moment….

We went to a village called “Berg”, which means “mountain”, where they had their annual farming festival at the school for farmers! Well, we couldn’t miss that now could we?!

We have been reading about life-cycles, and apart from the obvious seed to flower which have been evident in our gardening, we also bought some painted lady butterfly caterpillars from Insect Lore!
The kids have had a wonderful time watching them grow from caterpillar to chrysalis to butterfly….
….. before we let them go free in the [...]
