Spring Finally Arrives!

At long last it seems spring has finally arrived.  We have had a lovely sunny weekend and the blossom is now flowering on the trees.

It hasn't been the best of weeks.  I have had a couple of big events at work to organise and on Monday was told my job (among several) is being made redundant.  Consequently I have not been sleeping too well and have spent most of the week feeling exhausted and queasy.  It was nice to get to the weekend and to have some time to distract myself with the family and the home.

We had a really busy day in the garden yesterday.

The boys and I stained the decking.

While David repaired the rendering and painted a dirty looking wall.

 

I then stained the outdoor table.

All the wood is now a lovely shade of orange much to the amusement of our neighbours. 

Yes - We have been Tango'd!









It has been so nice to be outside soaking up the warm sunshine.

Nat had fun in his little ladybird tent.  I made him up a little picnic to enjoy.

 

I slept much better last night, thank goodness. What a shame we have to go back to work tomorrow.
