Last weekend was a fairly quiet weekend at home catching up on some home and garden things. The vegetable patch is really coming along now and we are more up to date with it than any other year. Before living here we had an allotment, but now we just have a veg patch at the bottom of the garden. It’s much more manageable partly because it’s smaller, but mostly because it is close at hand. We are growing fruit, garlic, brassicas, legumes plus tomatoes, cucumbers and more in the greenhouse.
This week has been a back to school, hit the to do list sort of week. I finally got around to arranging for H to try cubs. That seemed to go very well and he enjoyed spending time with his friend who goes too. H has had a busy week as he had a day out with the school at a local reservoir doing outdoor activities. He enjoyed going canoeing.
One evening after school H and I went to the vets to take the cats for their booster injections. I could take them during the school day, but H likes to come along to help. All was well for their checkup and we didn’t have to hang around for too long. The next day though the cats slept virtually without a break – they seem to do this regularly after injections, so I wasn’t worried.
Sadly no daytime naps for me as I was busy trying to catch up with work and housework/errands after doing a lot less of those things during half term. At the end of the week the to do list looks as big as ever, but I did get a lot done.

June 6, 2015 at 7:03 pmYour cats look so cosey there, I feel like I could have done with a week like that. It was a hit the to do list kind of week for me too. I did get lots done though!

June 7, 2015 at 11:06 amOoh I’d love to have room to grow my own veggies, I remember loving doing that as a child, tomatoes from the green house, potatoes, lettuce, carrots and more from the garden. I am sure my kids would eat more greens if they actually grew them! x

June 7, 2015 at 3:37 pmit is nice to spend time with the children on their week off, much better than working. The too do list will never be clear no matter what. Canoeing sounds fun, my girls use to enjoy that. Hope he enjoys the cubs – Bob does.

June 8, 2015 at 10:03 amIt makes such a difference growing veggies rght outside the door. We can have a plot of land where we live here but as it is a short walk away I just never get round to it! Mich x
