July already?


Are you sure?

I had good intentions of keeping my blog active, keeping up with my Etsy orders, the children, the housework, etc.
Well here I am, like my baby daughter, better late than never!

Since Tamara's birth, there has been another exciting addition to our family.... We are the proud tenants of a lovely new allotment plot. The weeds have been cleared, the ground turned over, a friendly toad re-homed and we are ready to plant. If we can get this right, we should cut £50 to £80 from our weekly shopping in addition to enjoying family fun outside - priceless :)


Today marked Nicholas' first official step on the road to starting school, from September he will join Michael in full-time education at Irlam Endowed Primary School
. Today was the "Family Dinner" event where we were able to join the children and share their school meal.
This is a fantastic initiative and is an opportunity for everyone to get to know each other as the children are introduced to their new surroundings. The next step will be a visit to the Nursery Class next week.
