So this is October, more sunshine days than rain… but not nearly as warm as we would like it… We’ve been planting like crazy and lets just hope we remember to water… we aren’t the best gardeners on earth but I think we would be better if our crops surprised us and thrived!!!
There was a little swimming this week, but it was more of the jump in because we can and then dash inside for cocoa. everyone is enjoying the tepid sunshine… and we are looking forward to it getting a whole lot warmer!!!

You have the best helpers around you! Those little hands are making garden magic!Enjoy the season!
it’s getting ever more autumnal here – lots of wind, leaves and conkers! (you saw the snow suits when the kids delivered the mail in my post? 🙂 ) Thanks for link to me this week
Hay Zoe, I loved your post about the post… it seems strange that your world is getting colder and ours is just not getting any warmer!!! You would think we would be warming up… but no we aren’t… still all wrapped up and piles of blankets on the beds!!! While I am thrilled at your autumn and the fun of conkers (that we don’t get here, believe it or not!!!)… we really could do with some lazy afternoons at the pool. Wishing you a fab week, always look forward to your posts!!!
Hay Katja, thank you so much for all the lovely comments, I so value your stopping by and encouragement!!! Those little helping hands are indeed a delight to my heart!!! I am hoping those little seeds they have planted grow and produce some exciting times for them!!! I hope you are having a great week!!!
Thanks for the mention – the planting looks like it’s going very well!
Hay DK Books, Thank you so much for the visit!!! Thrilled!!! Yes we have planted and planted… now everyone is watching eagerly for sprouts!!! Hope you have a fabulous week!!!
