Spring


This week has finally started to feel like spring.  There are signs of life in the garden.  The washing has actually dried on the line.  The sun has been out a bit more - it makes everything so much better when the sun is out, apart from the fact that it shows all the dust and just how dirty my windows are.  We even have seedlings coming up in the propagator.  Roll on more bright and warm weather.

Lego, lego everywhere!



This morning as it was the last day of half term with just the two of us we decided to go and see the Lego Movie.  I did wonder if I would be totally bored but it was very good (unlike some of the other films we have been to see).  I found I kept trying to spot the lego figures we have  and Joshua is all inspired to make his own city now!  Not sure we have quite enough bricks for it all but we have quite a few so he can make a start on it.  It is interesting all the boxes of lego he had for his birthday have almost all been made into something other than what the instructions suggest - lego is very good for working the imagination.

This weekend we shall try and do some things that are more outdoors unless the weather is really bad!   And no doubt at some point make cake.

Think I am going to really miss a little someone next week when he goes back to school.  Roll on another 6 weeks and it will be the Easter holidays.

Half Term






Sorry photo overload there.  today we went to the aquarium and had a brilliant time.   I have decided to have various activities planned for this half term so that we don't spend quite so much time in front of the television or in the house, instead getting out in the fresh air or seeing things.  There are so many good things to see and do locally and we don't seem to use them very much.  We always seem to do the same thing each holiday so before half term I spent a while scouring the internet for ideas of things we could do.

So long



I don't know why I choose this picture but I did.  They are some brooches/badges I make for birthdays.

It is so so long since I last blogged,  I just haven't known what to say.

Little one has settled into school which is good but is very tired which is not so good.

The weather is awful so I have had quite a bit of time to get some knitting done.  I also recently signed up to run a half marathon and am raising money for Send A Cow charity  so putting in the training has been hard in the conditions recently.  It seems fine once I got out of door but it is that getting out of the door that is hard.

I do hope the weather improves soon.   I am fed up of constantly getting wet.
