Hey!

How's everyone's year going so far? Even though we're in February already I am going to make a new resolution:


I hereby promise to write in my blog at least twice a week!


Yes I know, you've heard it all before.  But I will prove it to you, my dear few followers that are left, that I speak the truth!


Well spring is nearly here and everything is just waiting to bust into life.  My seeds are planted in the greenhouse with a heater, and already there are cauliflowers, lettuces and a few sweet peas sprouting already.  There are snowdrops and crocuses outside my bedroom window (downstairs room) and newly planted primroses in bright colours.


The kids are well into their netball, football etc at school. (They must be mad its freezing!)  And what always puzzles me is why do they send my small children swimming every week in this weather, and then wonder why half of them are absent with stinking colds!? I always used to wonder this myself when we came out to get on the bus, which was usually late, with dripping hair, soggy socks, and a swimming bag that weighs a ton cos its full of wet towel, cozzy, half eaten Mars bar, (we were allowed to eat such abominably sugary things in those days and it never did us any harm) etc. Miserable!  How much nicer it would have been to go in summer when its warm and sunny, and everyone has half a chance of NOT catching pneumonia before they get back to school. Seems logical to me.
