This afternoon DS, the dog and I managed a trip to the park ... in between the heavy showers we'd had all day. A lot of the cherry blossom is now on the paths, rather than on the trees, but in a way it still looks beautiful - it reminded me of confetti.
The Boy Child has realised that he can put his shaped blocks into the holes they are meant to go in on his Libby Ladybird toy. At the moment he is trying to put all the blocks through the round hole but has also realised that the circular block will fit inside the cardboard tube … Continue reading Shapes and Sizes
Weather wise, it's been a funny old day - rain, chilly wind & sunshine - but the park is beginning to look its very best. Mr Heron is still on the pond, so he obviously hasn't eaten all the fish yet!
The things that grow in our garden that aren't weeds have to learn early on how to survive with very little attention from us!

There's … Continue reading More From Shimelle
The sun came out this afternoon so once DS was up from his nap I decided to take him & the dog to the park. As luck would have it, DH arrived home just as we were ready to leave. We must have looked an odd pairing - me in cords, trainers & my beginning-to-look-lived-in-Barbour … Continue reading Spring Has Sprung…
