Somehow he’s 70

Easter came and went, the weather was glorious and we made the most of the sunshine.  Which was just as well as Tuesday was grey and chilly.  We had the grandkids for the day but they didn’t seem to mind the cold, opting to have lunch in their pirate ships!

When it got too cold we came in and baked a birthday cake as someone had a birthday on Wednesday

Wednesday turned out to be warm and sunny and Rachel, Stu and the children came for a birthday tea after school. We had a fun time, playing games and enjoying being able to eat in the garden. Peter turned 70, it’s hard to believe somehow. When did we get to be so old? At times our bodies feel old and let us down, but in our heads we still feel young.

Yesterday we went to the allotment with some plants and to continue keeping on top of weeds and watering.  We picked some sprouting broccoli, the first crop off of the allotment. Our  scarecrow was still standing so that was good.  We noticed a couple more have appeared onsite so obviously a trend has been started.

Walking has taken a back seat for a while whilst an injury is sorted. Hoping we can get back to our wandering again soon.
