nature’s promise

There’s a sense of expectation in our little garden. A ripening, quickening sort of a feeling.

Everything is green and lush after the deluge of recent rain and there are little fat buds, swelling fruits and new shoots all ready to do their thing!

Amy and I planted some strawberries and tomatoes back in spring and it looks like we’ll have a few fruits of our labour, though it will be just a few – only 2 tomatoes so far!

Proof I suppose that I have woolly fingers as opposed to green ones!

Enjoy your weekend!

Pink buttercream roses

Amy has been a bit deflated this week (probably after all the excitment of last weekend’s ballet show) and so yesterday I thought I’d make her something nice to cheer her up.

The trouble is that of the nine I made only these two ended up looking like roses. Still, maybe that means that I get to eat the rest!

Hope you have a good weekend. I’m being brave and taking Toby to visit a special needs club. If it goes well it could become a permanent fixture of our weekend – though I am having butterflies at the thought of leaving him, so then again maybe not!

Ballet show

We had a wonderful time yesterday at Amy’s ballet show and she really shone on stage. I wasn’t allowed to take pictures of the performance but snapped away like mad backstage. She adored her romantic ballet dress and the sparkly make-up.
