Larking around

Mark, James and Jennifer ventured down to the stream this morning with Christopher, Emma and their two friends Ben and Toby. By the look of things, the water was a bit colder than expected...

Bundle

Since the first day of my epic tummy bug, James has been asking daily: "are you feeling better Mummy?" and "can I jump on you now Mummy?" Finally, this Wednesday, he got his wish, and the two of them gave me a thorough bundling.

Our children

Having had a week off work with the most persistent tummy bug I've ever had, I have spent a lot of time on the computer. Whilst browsing around I came across a link in my cousin's blog to the blog of her very good friend Larisa, an incredibly talented photographer.


I was totally awestruck by some of the shots of her son, and have been inspired to have a go. My efforts on the point-and-shoot (with a little added help

from iphotos) pale in comparison, but any kind of imitation, no matter how inadequate, is the sincerest form of flattery.

Toiling in the soil

I have finally got around to blogging last weekend's activities. Thanks to Mab, Biddy and Butler, we now have two more beds dug and ready for planting.
Lucky really as our seed potatoes are screaming for the soil and the butternut squash are lining up in the greenhouse waiting to be transplanted. Jennifer looked on, showing off her very best John Wayne walk.
