A new ironing board arrived from Shelly today and my helpful little one couldn’t wait to try it out :)

20160212_124511 — I know you don’t iron little things Mum but I like to do a job properly 🙂

20160212_124631 — Well, yes, I can keep an eye on Cara then as well.

Latest knit, just in time for half term playing out :)

Three new outfits arrived from Olivia in Switzerland in the record time of 2 days !! Thank you Aunty Olivia and the girls hope you approve of their colour choices 🙂

This week’s knits

Jess is wearing an alpaca jumper with little dutch boys and girls and Cam is wearing a traditional pullover. Both finished this week and spoken for. They’ll have to get changed now if they want to get the paints out 🙂

Girls’ Day Out

Jpeg — The girls had their coats on as soon as I asked if anyone was brave enough to come out with me on this windy day…..

20160201_122405 — They were so happy about being chosen that they didn’t even ask where we were going…

They might have been hoping for something a bit more exciting but their first job was to see how the vegetable patch was getting along..

20160201_115537 — It really is windy.. it’s nearly blowing me over ! What are these Mum ?

20160201_115609 — …and should there be so many weeds in there ?

Well, no, but it’s been a very mild winter and everything, including the weeds has just kept growing. They’re onions by the way girls 🙂

20160201_115345 — The rabbits have eaten all the leaves off this big red onion !

They have …but that’s a beetroot and they love beetroot leaves. We should pull this one up soon, it’s just right.

20160201_115324 — I don’t know how you can tell Mum under all these weeds !

20160201_115729 — Do rabbits like to eat these as well…something’s nibbled little holes in them ?

That’ll be caterpillars, and yes, if we didn’t have nets over them the rabbits would like to eat them too !

20160201_115012 — Well I’m having a sit down for a bit. I know what these are…I picked some last year

20160201_115003 — These are strawberries aren’t they…and they have flowers on them !!

It’s like the weeds….everything thinks it’s Spring…. It’s been a very unusual Winter this year. Time to go home now girls – back in the car!
