A beautiful weekend

Oh it was just lovely to feel the sun on my skin and not be shivering. Today I pootled to the garden centre to get a few plants for my new bed, anyway I seem to have a little problem, I need shrubs so I'm told, for structure, good point, cept, well I don't seem to like many shrubs. I got a buddleja coz I do like them, but then got stuck (blushing smilie). I may well predictably resort to my old faves, rosemary and lavender, but I cant' have a garden full of them can I???? Oh blimey, I was told of a Magnolia, but can't remember its name now, well anyway I liked that so may well have to got a hunting, when I remember the name (rolling eyes smilie). I also bought some phlox(think thats what they are called) and hardy geraniums, all of which I bunged in the new bed just before we had the most spectacular storm :-)

The photos are of the greenhouse, yeahhhhhhhhh I have actually sown seeds lol calendular, french marigolds, cosmos, and potted on some squash which I put in the propagator last weekend, so along witht he cukes, a pepper and some toms I bought last week which are still on the dining room windowsill I have actually got some stuff growing :-) Life does improve when growing begins!!!! Please take note of the carefully cultivated moss in the greenhouse, I know I hsould have cleaned it first but I figured what the heck, wait til a beautiful red hot day to get my bucket of water out, cleaning glass isn't a job for a cold day!!!!

The girls have spent a good amount of time outside on the trampoline too, I love to watch them play and giggle and forget about begin cool teenagers, Abbie was sat crossed legged on the trampoline while Jess bounced up and down in a vain attempt to throw Abbie up into the air and make her uncross her legs but they were well and truly superglued together!!! Little Molly didn't want to left out of the fun so was underneath trying to tickle their feet :-) The final pic is the trailing rosemary I planted up last September, I love rosemary flowers they just seem to appear from nowhere and are spectacularly perfect:-)

Toodle pip for now xx

Away with the Fairies......

Thats where I've been for a few weeks!! I pootled off to London and Rome, sounds very jet set doesn't it lolol. The girls were with their dad for a week over Easter so I didn't fancy staying at home so jumped in my little brum and off I pootled. I visited D and T briefly, it was lovely to see them and the hens, I do miss my hens, I will most definately one day have hens again.

The garden in now secure, although Molly has been barking at the wire mesh which is now surrounding her escape route..........................coz if you stand there and bark pretending to be a very fierce dog then the wire mesh will just disappear and make escape and adventure possible, or atleast thats Mollys theory. She was non too impressed when her master plan didn't work and she had to just pootle around in the our garden.

Am gonna be especailly British now, but isn't the weather lovely, tommorrow it may well get up to 18 degrees, and then in an 'oh so fantasticaly British fashion' at the weekend its gonna struggle to get over 6 degrees and there will be snow lolololololol

The Dance Festival really is looming now , its starts on 14 April, oh how I luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurve Dance Festival week!!!! it only happens once a year but seems to come around oh so quickly. Its where I stand out like a sore thumb feeling quite self conscious because I'm obviously not a 'dancing mum' but Abbie hasn' tcomplained so if shes not worried then I shouldn't be either - I'll post some piccies soon.

Sorry not a great deal to report at the mo, especially seeing as I still haven't sown or dug anything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

take care
