Nature at its best


Sorry, Infogenium, that last pic is revolting and this one will more than make up for it. Animals are much nicer than people.  Well, some people.  Most people...

I've been a bit slothful over the holidays, what with lying about watching the tennis and splashing lazily in the pool, so have got behind with my blog and answering emails. Emma starts back at school tomorrow and Hugo has his first day at preschool, so I'll soon have to get back into routine.

I'm pleased with myself for not buying any stuff (except one pool noodle) so far this year, and am trying to throw something out every day, even if it's just a receipt that I've been saving for years.  When I realise I've got thousands of receipts it makes me wonder!  Of course, if ever I do need one when something needs returning, you can be sure I won't be able to find that particular one.

Winifred, I have to admit I don't like sushi much, either - I'd sooner have some nice bread or a roll any day.  Last week Emma chose beef pie, so we made a big one and had the whole family for dinner.  It was yummy with mashed potato and peas, followed by rhubarb and custard.  Nothing like good old-fashioned food!  I love having everybody here for meals, even though it's a bit of a tight squeeze in 'Nanny's house'.

Glad you'll bypass on the sushi when I arrive for supper - beef pie will be perfect.
Hope Hugo enjoys starting pre school,
our two loved it and got a bit of a shock when they moved (along with the same children) up to 'big' school and found their freedom very much curtailed. Georgina was ready to start education but Max asked to go back constantly for a few weeks. x
