Where does the time go ? Mind you, I always seem to be very busy - especially with an 11 month old granddaughter around my legs all day.lol Wouldn't have it any other way ! The grandkids keep me young - they keep me crawling on the floor, giving piggy-backs, playing ball games & busy, busy, busy. If I wasn't looking after them I'd probably be sitting sedately in a chair, knitting. Yeah - right !!
We had such wonderful weather the first couple of weeks of May, but it's been a lot cooler since then. Disappointing. I really thought summer had arrived. Its supposed to be warming up again soon.
The garden is starting to look very nice. The hard work is paying off. Annuals are all doing well. Perennials have all come up again, and are twice as big as last year. And I've been shopping (as usual) - I just can't stay away from the garden centres ! I got £50 worth of gift vouchers for Milletts Farm at Christmas, so spent those in the last week. And I also got another £50 voucher on Mother's Day in March. What wonderful presents ! My children know me too well. They know that nothing gives me more pleasure than working in my little garden (well - apart from the grandchildren that is). So I have been spoiling myself, and bought a few shrubs to go in pots & a few more annuals. I've taken photos - I just need some time to get them all uploaded.
I seem to be fighting Time at the moment. I just don't feel as though I have enough of it - not enough hours in the day for all I need to do. The grandkids are all gone by 5.30pm, and then I start cooking our evening meal. By the time we've eaten, and I've cleared up, washed dishes, tidied around and prepared for the following day, done a bit of admin work for Baz, its usually around 9pm. I'm so tired by then, that when I finally stagger over to my desk and turn the computer on - all I'm fit for is to read a few blogs. Most nights I'm even too tired to comment - sorry ! I'm trying hard to summon up the discipline to post on a regular basis. I have a few other blogs - a family blog, a painting blog, photography blog and a genealogy blog - and they are all as neglected as this one. I'm seriously considering combining them all into one blog. Wonder if that would work ? Maybe not - after all, the gardening folk wouldn't be interested in my genealogy research, and the genealogy folk wouldn't be interested in my painting blog etc. etc. Hmmm. I will just have to make more of an effort.
The photos I've uploaded in this post are just general shots around the garden. I'll post more specific photos and comment on them in later posts.
I'm off to watch Sarah Ferguson trying to reform a family from Hull ! Its on ITV1. I watched it last night, so thought I'd follow along.
