New things:
- The new sense of optimism and energy in our high street these days; Graham and I like stopping off for an espresso on our way out, if there's time.
- Three new hens! Including this blue-egg laying beauty, who we've called Adelaide. They are settling in very well.
- The novelty of having early mornings to myself - the children now sleep in until nearly 10am if left to their own devices.
- Visiting the Cutty Sark in its newly restored splendour at Greenwich. It was a fascinating day, and the boat has been restored brilliantly. We all loved the 'audience' of figureheads at one end of the boat.
- New tea towels from Snowden Flood, who designs such beautiful things.
Good times.
Beautiful tea towel. The hen is lovely too, lucky you having hens, it is a little dream of mine. Especially blue eggs, they sound wonderful.
ReplyDeleteYour chicken has a quiff - how cool!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog more and more. Glad you're having a good break

ReplyDeleteVery good times! And loved reading all about your new ladies on Facebook :) K x
ReplyDeleteMy children sleep in now too - either that or they get themselves up and read quietly. What a treat!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're having wonderful school holidays. The photo from the bottom of the ship is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteLove that last photo! Brilliant angle.
ReplyDeleteI have one child who sleeps in till midday if I don't wake her up, and another child who's just as much a morning person as I am. 7am, there he is, next to me. I actually quite enjoy it, because he doesn't really require attention - he just likes being together, doing our own thing.
