Yesterday we went blackberrying at our friend's allotment! It was brilliant fun & something new that we'd never done together. Timmy & Luke were pleased to spend time with their friend Jonah....
...and they all loved seeing baby Elijah. In fact Jordan was quite distracted from picking the blackberries because he had to keep seeing if Elijah was ok!
We spent some time on Gill's allotment too. The boys loved digging...
...filling up the watering can...
...watering the plants...
...and making their wellies 'all chocolaty'!!!!!!
Jonah spent most of his time at the allotment picking peas & eating them straight away which Jordan joined in with too. I must say, they were delicious! Jordan helped Gill pick runner beans which we had for our tea last night. Yummy!
And all the while baby Elijah sat in the sun playing with his toys. Isn't he sweet?
Gill brought us some Bramley apples from their garden & with the blackberries we had picked in the morning I made a blackberry & apple pie for our tea! I've never made a fruit pie before so I thought it would be fun to try. It wouldn't have won any prizes with the Women's Institute but it tasted delicious! I was really pleased as Jordan LOVED it & had seconds (with custard too)! He can be a bit fussy over sweet foods so I was really expecting him to take a mouthful & say he'd had enough.
Gill picked me a huge bunch of sunflowers from her allotment too which was lovely! I felt a bit spoilt to have such a lot of home grown produce & for free too! So thankyou Gill for a lovely morning. ;O)

You could be redundant if Jordi takes over the baby care! Bless him.
Love Mum

love Marie's story!
Looks like fun was had by all on the allottment! We went blackberry picking last year for the first time with some friends and James loved them so much he was eating them as fast as he was picking them! He loves friut~even his grandad's red currants (which by anyone's standards are rather sharp!!) and blueberries aswell as raspberries which he grows in his garden. If we are not sure where James has dissapeared to, while we are there, chances are, he's in the garden having a nibble of the produce!! Jorden is going to be so helpful when his liitle sister arrives! (Am sure Tim and Luke will be too of course!) Had a chuckle at Marie's commewnt! Hee! Hope all is well. xxx
