term time again

The house is quiet once more, the children are back at school and a day of pottering around with a little knitting time is calling me. Although I’m really relishing the prospect of a little time to myself again we have had a good Easter break. The weather has been kind and so lots of our time has been spent outside…

I’ve cleared a washing backlog, there has been fun with friends, play in the garden, and of course a hunt for the Easter bunny on Easter sunday.

All the ingredients of a good school break – hope you had a fun one too.

spring at last!

Here in our garden there’s one true sign that spring has arrived – the blossoming of our old plum tree.

She pretties herself up with masses of frothy white blossom and if you wander around the garden at dusk there’s such a delicate, beautiful scent in the air – for me the signature scent of spring.

It’s late this year though. When I look back at previous years posts about blossoming they were all in february or march and this year here we are in April.

Still better late than never as they say! Time to get planting the veg beds in earnest now.
