'signs of spring' walk

we went for a 'signs of spring' walk with our home-school group at our allotments and leisure gardens. it was an amazing day. the sun was shining 'bright', our allotments are very quiet and peaceful, we ate, relaxed, the kids played, picked flowers, climbed trees, grew seeds and searched for the signs of springs, of course.













pots made from newspaper which can be planted with the seed inside (genius, unfortunately i don't know how to make them)



frozen yogurt tubes (another spot of genius on another sisters part (wonder why i didn't think of this)

and at the end of the day.....need i say more.

going on an adventure

when my family get together, our kids just want to hear stories of when 'we' were children. there is so much to tell. my siblings and i had the best time while growing up, we had so many adventures. we went looking for treasure, we got lost in a deep dark jungle, we met giants, we travelled back in time, we sailed the seven seas, we travelled around the world, we faced so many difficulties and dangers but always overcame them because we worked together, and 'almost' all of this took place in our very own back yard!

so now when were out with the children, they always tell us to leave them alone as they too want to go on an adventure. we usually leave them to it.
