The King (& Queen) of The Compost

Not as much sewing as I would like going on around here
as we have had a busy time in the garden...

While we're outside, Abby likes to come and keep us company in the vegetable patch:

She has been a bad kitty again and has been catching lots of birds and small creatures so she now has 3 bells around her neck. I have a bag of biggish bells and have threatened that she'll get another bell for every bird that she catches!!!

We are also trying to get the children more involved in the planting and growing too:

Although sometimes a pile of compost bags can be more fascinating than a tray of seedlings,

but at least he is outside and not complaining that he hates sunny days! LOL

DH has extended the vegetable patch enormously in the hopes that next year there will be less building and preparing and more sowing and reaping...

I love clouds:

(nice fluffly ones always remind me of the start of 'The Simpsons' :-D)

And when we're not enjoying the garden we sometimes visit the village playground.

This was my view from the playground the other day:

A full day of blue skies!! Only lasted a day though *sigh*.
