SNOWDROPS AND MORE SNOWDROPS..

Just back from a snowdrop walk with the children this afternoon.  There is a local hall 'Lytham Hall' which opens its grounds for 'snowdrop walks' on every Sunday in February...


It was a lovely morning today, bright blue skies and sunshine, but by the time all four children were ready to go, bikes and scooters found etc it was rather cloudy, still had a nice walk though...



And saw lots and lots of snowdrops........

THIS WEEK;
  • We celebrated Finn's 9th Birthday by having his favourite Chinese food
  •  
  • Hebe dropped a drawer full of videos on her big toe turning it blue..ouch !
  •  
  •  
  • Made play-dough
  •  
  • Spent a day with my sister- the first in months...
  •  
  • Discovered where to buy a roll of freezer paper in this country (more of that to come)!
  •  
  • Had a really good idea
  •  
  • Finished decorating Finn's bedroom for him to move in to
  •  
  • Slept upstairs in a bed ! The first time in 3 months (we had to move downstairs whilst we had building work done)
  •  
  • Listened to Freya playing Mama Mia on the the clarinet and was pleasantly surprised by how much she has improved
  •  
  • Found out  that it is Clemmie who goes into my new sewing room and empties out all the buttons !

  1. You have a busy life! I have heard that snowdrops were introduced from Italy by an order of monks (not sure which) and they originally spread around the UK from the monastaries. I like that idea, but I was surprised they weren't native. We don't see them much here in France.

    Thanks for joining in the Pause in Lent! It should be good.

  2. Lytham Hall would make such a great model for a doll's house, don't you think?
    Snowdrops are lovely. The first flower of the year. So pretty. xx
