1. Digging more potatoes - Nicola and Brownell - and finding a fossilised teddy bear head!
2. The first of the beans....... I am hoping the frost stays away just a little longer.
3. Fresh radishes for our evening meal - I love radishes!
4 & 5. Enjoying the last of the summer blooms..... both the bumble bee's and I!
6. The beginnings of the polytunnel/hothouse - I am so excited about this, I already have visions of loads of tomatoes and cucumbers next summer!
7. Guinea pig grooming time....... I walked inside after an afternoon gardening to find the dining table covered with seven little piggies, towels, combs and munchies!! Here they are all rugged up after their bath, nibbling on fresh carrots that had been filched from the carrot bed!
I was not amused!
After writing out this list and pondering a little on all sorts of things, I have come to the realisation that our weekends are mostly the same as our week days.......working! I'm thinking that this needs to be remedied and will use this space to record that we need to make an effort to have some adventures of the travelling/beachy/relaxing kind, away from the ever present jobs that need doing around here.
Do you ever feel like you've forgotten how to relax and enjoy the wider world?

Ooh yeah! We have to make a conscious effort to do anything fun as a family. Some of that is probably due to how hard it is to get organised, then being out seems to be draining. When we hit on the right place it is heaps of fun though!
ReplyDeleteHow cute with the guinea pigs! Who did that? Btw your photography looks great!

Sorry! Blogger told me I'd typed the wrong characters and made me do it again. Grrrr! Blogger's playing with me!
ReplyDeletefabulous pictures! particularly loved guinea pig spa! some really happy piggies there!
ReplyDeleteThat bee photo is awesome ...he is so fluffy!!! Your weekends sound like ours .... we have got to get to the beach .I have made a date for this weekend but I think the rain is going to rain on my parade.
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind thoughts xxx
ReplyDeleteLinda, Miss Elli, 14, is the piggie fancier in the family! She has had them for a lot of years and is very dedicated!
Just come to the same realisation myself and making Sundays my day off, to do whatever I like. Started last Sunday with some sewing until I came to the sewing machine and it wouldn't work. But got some patterns copied and fabric cut out.
ReplyDelete...and that's another thing that hasn't happened here for a while Kate, sewing! Good for you!! I'm hoping that the cooler weather will bring some more of that crafty activity my way too!
ReplyDeleteHa, instant Mr Potato head! Love it.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing your poly tunnel take shape - how exciting!
I do sometimes feel that we need to make a real effort to take the time to relax. I actually like it when it rains on the weekend because it tears hubby away from the lawnmower and opens up other possibilities.. ;)
(PS - do you mind if I ask what type of camera you are using? Your pictures are superb!)
Christine, my dear man gifted me with a Nikon D3100 last Christmas. Prior to that I used a Nikon D60 which belongs to our son.
ReplyDeleteI would love to say that I know what I'm doing when I'm taking pics but sadly, it's all down to the great camera I use!!
Thank you for your kind words! xx
