Ladybird.
Dragonflies.
Hawthorn finally flowering. The buds on our pink hawthorn tree are still to open though.
I made some biscuits.
Choc chip cookies from All Colour Baking Book (2nd left).
They were nice but not as nice as the recipe I usually use (which can be obtained by following the link on my sidebar). I need more space on my cook book shelves and I'm trying to decide whether or not this book is a keeper. It has some fabulous looking fancy cakes in it but I really need an occasion to make one, perhaps the next craft night I host would be a good excuse!On Friday morning the dry weather was still holding so N and I went for a walk to the woods (inspired by sitting under the turtle blanket which then takes on the appearance of a forest canopy)
A view through the woods to the steeple.
Following the path.
Wow, bluebells! For some reason I didn't think there would be blubells here. Thery're a little past their best, but at least I know a new place to come looking next year, and within walking distance too.
Looking up through the leaves.
Dinosaur feet.
Back to the village and along a favourite lane. I like the little door set into the wall on the right.
There is a lovely garden on the left here, it belongs to the house on the right which has a little bridge from the upper floor to reach it.N and I don't make it back to the house in time to avoid the rain. A very heavy shower catches us about 300 yds from home. It can take quite a long time for a tired 2 year old to walk 300yds so by the time we reach home we're soaked. Although the shower only lasted half an hour or so enough rain falls to flood the school sports ground so A's sports day is now postponed till June. Here's hoping the weather has improved by then...
