Spring has come!

Today really does feel like spring. I know we have had a few sunny days recently, followed by some bitter rainy days, but today was really balmy and you could almost smell the summer coming. We lapped this up this afternoon by taking a walk into town. It was less stressful as i remembered drinks for all and snacks and we just took it at our own pace. This did result in use being home after 5!! shock horror! but Emily ate so much while we were out i just gave Lucy some dinner and we all had pudding.
Having said this we did stop in a cafe for some booby milk, a cup of tea and a clotted cream scone! So there was dancing in the corner of the courtyard where we sat,
Emily was hungry all afternoon so Ella's kitchen it was on the way home. And yes i will be saving the packet because apparently you can send them to the company that will make them into bags etc!!
Then there was a slow walk home past the stream i have walked along since i was a child. There is a beautiful , what i think is Jasmine, on the other side of the stream and emily always points it out when we are playing the 'i spy with my little eye something that is a colour' game as the yellow is so vibrant.

I have been meaning to post pictures of my little green house on my window ledge. We have plum, cherry and yellow tomatoes, dwarf french beans, yellow squash, sweetcorn and marigolds! i cant wait to stop buying tomatoes wrapped in film!

fab idea with growing seedlings in the yoghurt pots, I also use toilet rolls which are working out really well.
