Apples

Crisp green apples,

so pleasing to the eye,

but now we're going to chop them up

and pop them in a pie.

poem by Amy & Julie

 

With thanks to Ali for the inspiration and our neighbours for the generous supply of bramley apples – their tree has had a bumper crop this year.

Hope you all have a good weekend – we'll be wood walking, tidying up the garden and eating apple pie!

Wow, an actual sleep over!

Thanks so much for all the good wishes for Amy's birthday and for sending me your spare good luck for her birthday sleepover. It went really well, we all had a lot of fun (me included) and the girls surprised me no end by all being asleep by midnight – which meant I had a better night's sleep than I usually get with Toby (who had gone off with his Dad to spend the night at Nana & Grandpa's).

 

Amy's cake

Whilst the girls were giving each other makeovers, eating pizza and watching dance movies I was left alone quietly crocheting up in my bedroom and so I now have 15 squares in 'me old china' blanket.

 

Old china

I am so much happier with the more subdued colour scheme – not everyone's taste for sure, but most definitely what I had in mind for this project.

All in all a happy weekend at the Williams house!
