Missing you!

What a great week it has been with these kids!
Picture
The house feels so empty without these happy boys and girls.
Picture
Picture
Nonetheless we had a fun-filled last day, heading into Ronciglione, we met a friend on the way!
Picture
15 well behaved English speakers made quite a spectacle for the locals!
Picture
The children enjoyed a snack in a local bar and then we hit the shops!
Picture
Picture
Once the family gifts were bought, we headed to lunch - a stylish affair of course!
Picture
Then it was a wander through town and up the hill before the parents arrived and we all had to say goodbye.
Picture
At The Hazelhut we are lucky to always have fun-loving, polite and kind children, but this group has been extra special and we are missing their smiles and joy tonight - come back soon!

Fishing fun!

We were very lucky that the sky had clouded over a little and there was a bit of wind, because the fish were definitely nibbling today - the Hazelhutters landed a total of more than 65!!!!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Most children caught tiddlers, but one pair landed a whopper!
Picture
No one really wanted to stop for lunch because they were having so much fun, but we all enjoyed some pasta and home-made sausages.
Picture
Back at the Hazelhut, some lovely children helped bake treats for the mums and dads tomorrow.
Picture
Picture
The wind was calm enough for us to stay outdoors all evening, learn some survival skills and also enjoy a camp fire 'party'!
Picture

Picture
It's hard to believe this is our last night together....  This is one group we would welcome back again and again!

Indoor Arts and Outdoor Play

The rain poured down today (at last!!!!), bringing a well-needed soaking to the plants and lots of creativity to our Hazelhutters.....
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
We tried to have our snack outside during a break in the clouds, but the rain soon returned....
Picture
We had to have an indoor picnic for lunch too, but no one seemed to mind. 
Picture
Then in the afternoon the sun was back and the temperature rose once more, so lots of the children wanted to swim and we finished off the sports day with 'hopping on a lilo' and the breath-holding test.
Picture
The kids had been doing some music in the morning and then we all got together for a karaoke session, when the weather changed again!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
There were some great songs and even better singers.  We all had so much fun, the time ran away from us!  Before we knew it, the wind had started to rage and it was time for.... pizza!

Cool Cavaliers!

Despite the heat we all enjoyed our day with the horses.
Picture
There were some other children there too, but as usual the Hazelhutters shone for their great manners and positive attitudes.
Picture
Look what great cowboys and girls we have here!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Lunch was very healthy and it was great to get a seat in the shade, to rest and have a chat.
Picture
Picture
One of our afternoon activities was a scavenger treasure hunt in 2 teams.
Picture
The children seemed to enjoy hiding from each other as much as the hunt!
Picture
Of course these clever things solved the clue and found the hiding place to reveal the treasure!
Picture
Before dinner we did a big quiz in 2 teams.  What a great end to a fab day!

Mad heat, crazy sports!

Picture
Everyone needed a good feed in order to start crazy Olympics in form.
Picture
We did some normal things like penalty kicks,
Picture
Picture
but also team sports

and 'catapulting a wheelbarrow' (?)
Picture
as well as an old favourite.... apple thwacking!
Picture
The children were very grown up and all made their own sandwiches for lunch, which we enjoyed in the shade!
Picture
Picture
In the afternoon we tried to stay out of the sun doing different things.
Picture
Picture
But it was quite clear that the kids couldn't wait for a real cool off in the pool.
Picture
Picture
A very healthy day was had by all - plenty of sport, water and delicious fruits in many forms....

A new year of Hazelhutters begins!

Picture
We have had a fantastic beginning to the 2017 summer camps with these 15 awesome kids.
Picture
The Hazelhut home-cooked lunch went down a treat, but the kids were far more excited about the new football pitch.....
Picture
....and cooling off in the pool!
Picture
The enormous watermelon was also a big hit.
Picture
Each of the children chose their Hazelhut stick from James.
Picture
These were for warding off wild animals, testing the water depth in rivers and toasting a sausage over a campfire however....
Picture
....boys will be boys!
Picture
It didn't take long for James to get everyone in order and then we headed off to see the Hazelhut grounds.
Picture
Later the girls did some sewing,
Picture
Picture
and the boys soon got involved in the art room too.
Picture
But which group do you think helped lay the table most? - the boys: surprise!
Picture
We are so happy to have these amazing kids with us for a whole week and can't wait to share the fun with you, but we couldn't resist ending our first blog with the obligatory first dinner picture!
