Old and new.

I got my tulips out again and packed away the poinsettia, these were purchased in 2020 and 2021, made of a soft plastic, they feel almost real, the stems bend and droop, I always look forward to seeing them every year. I will probably keep them out for a couple of months. Over the year I have saved a small fortune on cut flowers.

I do like rusty ornaments in the garden, these are from Dunelm at £15 each not a bad price, once the weather is better these will be placed in my side bed.

I have wanted a couple cloches for my seedlings, I'm too tight to pay for expensive ones, I will remove the handles and use these for raising salad seeds, they are 7" high and metal mesh, which should be perfect for my needs. Their cost £12 each, again from Dunelm.

Molly and Lilly playing together, they both had loads of fun, playing nicely, we had Molly on a sleepover Saturday night, giving daughter a lazy Sunday morning, the boys both slept in until just after 8am, Molly woke at 7.30am, much later than her normal 6.00am. 

After having a good month in January with such a low spend, February is off to a different start, I never intended to purchase any of the above bits, I keep saying there is nothing I need, oh well. The start of the garden season is hard, so many new things to see, I could lie and promise to be good.

We walked Molly to our village on Saturday,  she then did some drawing to take home to mummy, we had homemade pizza for tea. Sunday was a later start, Molly got a sticker book out, we also popped into the garden to look at flowers and the wildlife pond. Later we read and relaxed, with an early night, it's amazing how one 3 year old can tire us both out.
