Friends and shopping

We had a lovely day yesterday with friends from Sheffield....with two years worth of christmas and birthday presents to swap it was a long over due visit!

Jo and the girls enjoying the sun...

H's daisy crown...

The daisy decorated table...if we had said 'go pick all the daisys from the lawn and put them through the holes in the table' they would have laughed at us!!!!!

The weather continues to be beautiful...I have to keep reminding myself that it's only April! With so many bank holidays coming up, let's hope it continues!

The fruit trees are full of blossom...

We (finally!) found a suite we like.....I'm being VERY strict with a no food or drink (even water!) policy whilst it is still new!! I love the way it looks kind of old and feels very at home...it's also really comfy too.

I also had a big spring clean....a friend has had one of those outdoor office/sheds built. It is really cool and I was thinking maybe we would have one built....
but then I thought about it....the room in the loft is mostly unused until H gets in from school. So I spent all of last Friday clearing out unused stuff, cleaning, tidying and finally moving all my stuff out of the dining room into the space. It's a great place to work and the bonus is we get the dining room back and all without spending a penny (apart from a new blind and a few storage bits! oh and need to replace the Velux blinds which aren't cheap...but still a lot less than a new office!) I was on a bit of a roll and C took two car loads of stuff to the tip from the loft too! (ok so there is still at least ten more car loads...but it's a start!)
I need to crack on with my diploma work...however shopping with my girl called today...so the work will have to wait a while longer!
