Ella has had a busy month celebrating her 8th birthday. She had an egg drop party at which she and her friends built a variety of contraptions, and then threw them out of her bedroom window (see video on YouTube). She had a sleepover at the Science Museum with a handful of friends. And she blew out candles on a stack of her favourite Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Also this month Ella won a competition and attended the launch of The DFC, a new comic, at which she met Philip Pullman again. She walked through the park to school a lot, since she will no longer be able to do this after we move house. And she went to Norfolk for the weekend, where she swam in the pool a lot (with her new prescription goggles), went to Bewilderwood, made sandcastles on the beach, and went crab-dabbing.
