Back to reality...

The heady days of holidays and magical tea parties are behind us as we get back into the swing of school and work (and finally holiday washing!)

 

We're also recovering from the builders onslaught on the garden (must remember to do a 'Granny's garden suite' ta daaa) and getting some planting done. 

GB and I started with a new herb trough  outside the back door(like you do!), and Granny made the flower basket...good work Granny.

The workshop was one big old mess after the weekend frivolities...but not anymore. I must take some photos of inside as it's rarely tidy enough to share! We planted some marigolds outside to encourage the butterflies:

 

 and inside the peonies bloomed 

 Meanwhile, I haven't forgotten I have a job, and made some more blocks for teachers...in pink:

and yellow:

 and a block for my friend Emma:

 That's it - apart from to say how much Cleggy has enjoyed reading the tea party appreciation comments! You are right - he is v clever and could indeed have been a set designer in another life. All boys had great fun making all the decorations and setting it all up - though three small boys weren't as keen to put it all away! 

(fair enough!)
