good, hetty and Joe's laugh

I had to take the children on an errand which I would have left them out of it I could....they were so good; I felt proud to be their mum.

My new hoover arrived, Hetty. Henry passed on earlier in the week. He will be missed but Hetty with her pink smile and new eco button is just fantastic and the house looks cleaner already.

I made Joe laugh today and it struck me that he is going to be one of those lucky people with a huge laugh that makes other people turn around and smile too. How lovely.

leeks, time and space

I planted out my baby leeks. Its a lovely summers day - but was imagining them in a few months time, in a homemade cheese sauce served with a beef and ale pie on a chilly, blustery day.

I rush too much and am not having time to see things. Why do I rush when I have toddlers in tow. Why not go at their pace and feel less stressed and see more things? I will try.

Having 3 hours to think and be creative with no-one needing me for other thing is priceless.
