What a fabulous bank holiday weekend we’ve just had, I even managed to do a few things I meant to do. Saturday was a bit of a wash out but we did chill out – I even went for a run – and then went out for a swift pint or two with an old hockey mate.
Sunday I spent most of the day in the garden, cleared and enlarged my vegetable patch and half built a ‘cage’ for my brocolli – what a waste of time as it only held four plants – I managed to plant out my runner beans, french beans, brocolli, peas and other bits and bobs by Sunday evening. On Saturday I managed to get the photo of two swallows seemlingly talking to each other – they were on the house down the hill on top of the TV aerial. They then flew right overhead a number of times catching flies I assume.
Sunday we popped down to the ‘Water Splash’ just past Chalfont Park. Rebecca and Jamie cycled down there – reminiscent of when my sister and I used to cycle down there. They are both cycling fairly well now – Rebecca attempted to cycle through the fjord – did really well but took her feet of the pedals as they might get wet – she slowed down and retreated back into the fjord, fell over and got very wet – hence why she is wearing my jumper in this photo.
We then went to the main water splash bit which I love – I was just taking a photo or two of some swans and Canadian geese and heard a splash – Jamie didn’t realise that the water was covered in blossom and thought it was water and was up to his thighs in the ‘lake’ – good job Dad was paying attention – whoops…
Round to Grandma and Grandpa’s for early evening tea in the evening.
An extremely busy fortnight coming up – dreading it really as way too much to do…
