knitting, nature and living with autism in the family
getting up at 4.40am to drop Amy off for a school day trip to France
then coming back home and crocheting until the boys woke up
loving all the growth in the garden, rainy summers = happy flowers
anticipating the first of our homegrown raspberries, gradually growing fat and juicy on the bush
and enjoying eating them for breakfast!
Hope your week has had some happy snippets too x
We’ve still been having a very mixed bag weather-wise here. Not only have the alternate showers of rain and spells of sun been good for all the wildflowers, they’ve also been great for the garden and my little herb wall that I planted earlier in the year has really filled in. It’s actually become a bit of a herb jungle and I need to get snipping and drying some shoots. A month ago it looked like this…
and now it looks like this…
Fruit is doing well too. Strawberries…
Raspberries…
and apples…
…are all swelling nicely and I am looking forward to a good harvest later in the year (if I can keep the slugs at bay – there seems to be an army of them this year!)
I can’t keep up with the weather at the moment. One minute there’s warm sun, the next cold wind and rain.
I’ve spent the last few days, putting on warm clothes and taking them off again and Toby has been in and out of the garden like a yo-yo.
Here’s hoping for more sun than rain over the weekend, especially for friends who are meeting up – I’ll be thinking of you all and looking forward to hearing all about it x
