Bank holiday weekend

Blah, I spent ages typing up a whole blog entry and then something went wrong with my browser and I lost the whole lot. Grrrrr, don't you just hate when that happens?



So, I am not going to repeat myself. I will just give a little summary:



  • Weather. Just beautiful. In fact we've noticed how little rain there has been since we've been back in England. Apart from the small blip whilst my mother-in-law was here which unfortunately meant she couldn't get out and about so much.


  • We've been in the garden nearly all day today.


  • No, not sitting and relaxing but erecting our "spaceship".


  • Said "spaceship" is in fact a cedar wood play set which we bought just before we left Canada.


  • It wouldn't have looked out of place in our 3 acres there but is looking "slightly" too large in our cute little english garden.


  • Noah will love it though. It has a slide, 2 swings, a hanging thingy, monkey bars, a rope ladder, a sand pit and a rock climbing wall. Oh, and a picnic table underneath. Impressive, eh? The deck area is big enough for all 3 children to sit comfortably.


  • You can tell we've all been in the garden, evidence of it has been
    traipsed all through the conservatory, dining room and hallway!


  • Robins. Awwww! We've seen so many of these in our garden this year. I have to say they are much nicer looking than their North American counterparts which are huge. We think we have a pair nesting in the ivy on our garden wall.


  • Snapped this, complete with wiggling worm, about an hour or so ago (where I also got to use my fab telescopic lens), click on it for a larger view:Img_4393_1
