An attempt to stop them digging up the plant, I got a tyre from the farm, cleaned it , painted it dug out a hole to set it in, lined it with weed suppressant membrane, and tipped in 4 bags of sand. Its been a big hit. now I just have to get used to sand everywhere!

Peace and quite! They don't very often both sleep in the car. Poppy will fall asleep instantly but Maisy is hardcore at staying awake back there.

Family Picnic, a proper one when we packed a hamper and went for a walk and found a good spot to sit.

Happy Easter!

This is Poppy in her easter bonnet! (paper plate), and feeding the lambs where we live.

Maisy is in our garden playing.

Poppy is perfecting her moaning skills currently, and driving me mad. We have made chocolate crispy cakes and decorated the porch Eastery, so currently she is going ON and ON about the cakes and when they will be ready to eat.

I Have a SHOP on Etsy, finally. I am still stocking the shelves, at the moment it has just jewellery, but I am planning to add some other things, little dolls maybe. anyway the link will always be in the "sites I like" bit on the side, but as its NEW here it is in its own little post

People I miss

Jennifer, your worship and your dancing.










Heather, Your Warmth, your intellect, your reading.
Lynsey, Hot chocolate and cakes around the table.

Sheba, your gentleness, your kindness, your friendship.

Christy, I do not miss your grief, but I do miss your insanity, you see the world through different eyes and that sets you apart.

Amber, your laugh, your company, your accent, to walk and talk, Honesty, living.

I can see these moments and I know they're past separated by time, distance.

I miss laughing with you when I am sad. I miss the love and company of others.Have I made mistakes or are these circumstances perfect, holding me in place. I dont know how to find friends like you again.

Wow, it was a lovely day and the girls just went and sat in the vegtable patch like it was a sandpit, Maisy ended up on her back at one point, (I think she was pushed), and midway through her cry to get my attention she noticed a plane in the sky and got all excited, its as if the summer was too far back to remember, and playing in the garden is all new.

Poppys Birthday Cake, Made it myself and I am pretty pleased.

Look no wellies!

Maisy

Poppy on the log pile.

Pops will only wear skirts or dresses at the moment, and likes to get herself dressed in the morning, 7 skirts was a memorable outfit, the selection included ballet skirts and a red apron.

This morning she had on a hooded fleece back to front with the hood like a sort of bib, over a top which she had on upside down making for a rather tight waist band across her tummy and a very unusual neckline!

Mais has started going for proper walks outside, she managed to kick her welly boots off without us seeing and do a runner across a frosty patch of grass in her socks.

And so 2009 begins

Ho ho ho

Happy christmas,
Pops has decided she doesnt want "that man" coming into her room to put the presents in her stocking, Prehaps I shouldn't of corrected her a few weeks ago when she told me it was Snow White who filled your stocking.

Maisy puts on all the necklaces, Bubu bling, everytime she finds one, she puts it on.
