Happy 14th birthday Roman!

Busy working all week. The tree surgeons came back on Wednesday and trimmed the second tree. They also took away all of the branches that had fallen into the garden over the winter. It is a lovely old twisted oak tree but makes an awful mess of the garden.

Escaped for another, this time long, weekend in the caravan on Friday.  Again joined on Saturday by Mark, Michelle, Anais and Roman and Mark's friends Matt and Kay. Weather Friday, Saturday and Sunday good. Noticed some lovely violets growing alongside the drive to the storage yard. Photos don't do them justice, very pretty.

Went to Evesham after lunch on Saturday and actually went in some shops!!! Anais was looking for books (Anais is always looking for books!) and managed to get about 12 that she wanted. I looked in the charity shops and got some lovely teal blue yarn for 99p. There is 800g of very thick chunky which I can use for hats and 38g of dk, Not a bad bargain!. I also got a music quiz game and some nice baskets. The baskets have cream liners but they are in the wash.

Walked back to the car over the bridge and alongside the river, through the gardens. Very pleasant.

Sunday morning we went to the car boot. Not as big as sometimes. Didn't buy much but it was nice to walk round. After lunch Roman's other grandma and grandad and cousins came and we all sang Happy Birthday and ate chocolate cake. Yum. Later we played the music quiz game, Notability, and chatted with Matt and Kay.

​Now that my conservatory blanket is finished I did some work on my Water Garden project and started to join the hexagons together. 

Monday was not so good. Mark and Matt just managed to get their awnings down before it started to rain. Popped to Broad Lane caravans as Matt wanted to look at awnings and all managed to come back without buying a new caravan!. Probably only because it was too wet to go outside and look at them. Came home just after lunch.
