Hello to you all. I hope you have been having a lovely bank holiday weekend.
Enjoying the garden
Unusually for our family Mr J was only called into work for 3 hours on Sunday morning - apart from that we have had him home all weekend. It has been lovely.
Ignore the lack of green grass!
Things I normally have to enjoy alone, we have enjoyed together.
On Saturday we went to Broadstairs with Big G and my sister for the day - it was a mixture of heavy down pours and wonderfully warm sunny spells.
We had fun anyway.
Yesterday was my brother in law's birthday, so we attended a BBQ held at a friends house. It was all very strange. My brother in law and his friends have just started to become parents; so instead of the usual drink up in the pub it was a more civilised garden party...I've only actually met some of his friends in pubs before!
Anyway today (Monday), we had a lazy day lounging around.
Mr J watched all his favourite telly, Middle B read and occupied himself in his room, Big G got out The Hairy Bikers' Great Curries cookbook and after a quick trip to the shops, she set about filling the house with delicious aromas. She only asked for my help once - she is proving to be a very capable young lady in the kitchen.
I spent the day making a few gifts for a friend who has just celebrated her first wedding anniversary and has bought her first house after years of renting. They moved in last weekend. All very grown up!
I made - (drum roll...)- BUNTING!!
Sorry - I know, its all I seem to make these days...but nearly every day I have a new idea that starts to form in my mind.
I can show you confidently knowing that she won't see this - I have only told my family that I have started blogging.
I then wrapped them sweetly.
I do hope they will love them.
I also made this bunting...a friend nearby may be receiving this in the post soon.
I do love sending happy mail.
I must go, Big G has called out "can someone lay the table please?"
