Spring stuff

We woke to another spring morning, with everybody feeling very vibrant, so we enthusiastically  got a list of things to do up and running ,with as much of it outside as possible....hmmmm, big list.... a big breakfast was definately in order... porridge it was...

with left over porridge used in porridge muffins ,a revelation I discovered a couple of weeks ago, they have been a great find, very popular in our house...

Then garlic planting in one of our new, fantastically built raised vegetable gardens, and we remembered our good friends from France, who we miss soooooooooo much (who built it for us)...

Admittedly, we are a bit late with this garlic planting, but we plant with crossed fingers and hope for the best....

ahhhhh the feel of fresh dirt in ones hands , there is nothing like it....

the rest of the list completing went a bit astray, with the usual distractions associated with having four young children, such as accidents  with ensuing  in tears, that needed sorting out with hugs and iceblocks , ahhhhhh magic ice blocks !!!.......

But distractions are fun too.......
