The week before Easter

Easter is a way point in the year, it's time to let rip for the summer, been doing that already really this year as Easter is so late. The sun has shown with voracity for ages now, so we could be in for a shock when it breaks. The garden & allotment are gasping for a drink (as I am, but mine is for a cool Chardonnay). After an exhausting morning at the allotment Sarah, Ruby & I spent the rest of the afternoon having a lazy lunch in the 'woodland' at the end of the garden, with a bottle of rose. Lets hope for more lazy times like that.

This is the woodland,taken a little while ago, the table is now on he decking for the summer,  bit of a misnomer as only a border under the apple tree, now have a summerhouse just to the right. The old dinghy was rescued from the sailing club bonfire and now has a blackbird nesting inside, the base will have a log pile for beasties to live in.

Our blackbirds, taken by shoving the camera up under the  deck, while mum was away.

Silly faces!

Truffle in the jungle, first time she has been at the end of the garden, still very wary.

Later today Tanya & Seb are coming for lunch, forgot to go shopping so it will be a scrap / out of tins meal .... oooops, better get inventing quick.
