Weekend Adventures
What a glorious weekend we've just had! I thought after the August bank holiday, we wouldn't have such gorgeous weather, but I was quite happy to be proved wrong. Although it feels a bit chilly today, so perhaps time to light the wood burner? I woke up bright and early on Saturday morning, so I… Continue reading Weekend Adventures

Look at this face. How could she not make you smile? The mud on her nose is from investigating a mole hill - she is doing her very best to keep us safe from these terrifying creatures... Finally, finally, finally my tomatoes are starting to ripen! I'll be extremely lucky if half of them actually… Continue reading Five things that made me smile this week
