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

Bounce

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.
