Seedlings

Today the little ones and I planted our first veg seeds of the year.
So far we've planted tomatoes, carrots, celery, peas and salad leaves. I've also bought a mushroom gowing kit which is now safely tucked away in the airing cupboard (I just have to remember to keep it moist!)
I can't wait to see and of course eat the end results. That's assuming anything grows and that it doesn't all die of neglect and mismanagment!

I have a friend with three young children who puts me to shame by growing loads of the families fruit and veg in their lovely little garden. I never know how she does it as she's so busy but she really manages to make it look so easy.

Trip to Valencia

Yes, yes I know it's not eco friendly but hubby and I were invited on an all expenses paid weekend to Valencia. Strictly speaking it was a business trip and hubby had to attend a seminar and talk 'shop' all weekend. But it was still a fab weekend with fine wine and gourmet food and great company.

I have tried to assuage my guilt by telling myself that we don't have annual holiday abroad and my kids have never flown before. I could do a 'Sienna' and say I'll have less baths!!!!
