Tuesday - the last day of winter.
Here is my little girl this morning. It was book character day at school today. Anna-Kate has been busy reading a series of books - I think there are 12 in this series, she is on book 12 already. Well this is the lead character, I am not sure what her name is, Anna-Kate drew the picture for me. I also crocheted her little shrug, now she has ordered a pink one !

Crocheting in Public ...
Last week I went back to school - for the annual Open Day ... it was lovely. The weather was warm - not too hot or too cool. I take the children to school at 8:35 and the open day began at 9:30. It was not worth walking home so I took my crocheting. Not this big blanket - too big and bulky to carry about, but a shrug for Anna-Kate. Not sure if it was a good idea as I used it as a shield to stop people talking to me - or would they not have spoken to me anyway - not too sure ! But at least I had something to do while I waited !
Finished this big blanket - perfect to ward off the chill in the air - although since we moved from Tascott it has not been as cold !

Our Garden - a work in progress ...
This is what it looked like before I attacked this grass area - the cut down brush were some of the bushes / trees at the end of the garden.
I created the shape with rocks found around the garden, around old ponds etc we have removed. then I laid down some cardboard to kill off the grass and then remembered I have a naughty dog (!!) so had to build a fence around my veggie patch. I tried to use sticks from the trees I cut down - but ran out of these so had to buy some canes. Starting to fill with soil as and when I buy some.
This is how it looked on Saturday morning. Greg and I went out into the garden to clear the ever growing pile of rubbish ... we moved it to the area behind the metal shed as it is fab leaves etc and will break down to make lovely mulch / compost for later....
Planted so far - tomatoes, basil, lettuce, radish, beans, strawberries, peas, peppers, mandarin tree, blood orange tree, apricot tree and plum tree ..... plus lots of sunflowers !

Our Walk Last Sunday.
We decided to take a break from he BIG MOVE last weekend and went for a walk along the water front last Sunday. The weather was lovely - just right for a walk.
We all looked at the puffer fish in the water and we were debating the depth of the water to see if canoe ing here was an option.
