Time

Life has been busy.  Pretty much each of these photos was going to be a blog post!  But there before I know it we have been moving on to the next thing.  So we have had time for achieving, with Alec and Ethan both getting their first gradings at Karate.

I've had time for friendships, with a lift to guild with Lucy, and creating a woven basket from garden trimmings.  I must say I have a new found respect for baskets, and will never look at garden prunings in quite the same way either!





 Time for celebrating, Stuart's birthday.

 Time for remembering, Mother's day was a much about remembering as celebrating.  Remembering Stuart's Mum, in this first mothers day without her.  This "Cherry Delight" pudding was last made at least 24 years ago by my Nan.  The taste is never forgotten, and I think it is now a firm favourite with a new generation.

 Time for creating.  Stuart's birthday cake, a hobbit hole no less!

 And a little more creating, an angry bomb bird, to go with the angry birds I made Stuart for his birthday last year.

This time of year always has me feeling torn between inside and outside.  And there seems to be even more keeping me busy this year, so snippets of our life may be posted intermittantly, but be rest assured, we are certainly making the most of our time!
