Green Fingers

We've been doing a spot of gardening this holiday! I dug a new flower bed in our back garden with the help of the children. they loved getting the weeds out & putting them in the green recycling bin. I planted a few plants in the bed today along with a small tree that had decided to grow under our house wall. It took a while to dig that up but I thought it really was time for it to be moved in case it damaged our home!
We spent all morning in the back garden enjoying the sunshine, playing with snails & sand, pegging out washing & playing football. It is lovely & quiet in our row of houses at the moment as the noisy neighbours moved out last week & the neighbours the other side are away on holiday. It's like living in a detached house again! Thought you might like to see the chalk drawings the boys often do on our front driveway. This lot is from February half term I think. there are parking spaces, roundabouts, box junctions, traffic lights & train tracks! All good fun!
A few weeks ago Annie Joy & I were out doing the weekly food shop when we came across the real FA Cup in Asda by the top of the travelator! It was there to help raise money for Tommy's Charity. It was really quite exciting to touch such a famous trophy! Annie was quite taken with it. Did you know it is insured for £3 million?!
Well, that's all for now folks! :o)
