Springtime in Bristol

Birdcage Walk, Clifton Village, Bristol

We've been having a lovely time whilst Samo-Daddy has been away in Greece. We've missed him lots but have been enjoying our time together.

One lovely afternoon that was memorable this week was seeing Ocky and Arthur. It was a beautifully sunny afternoon so we took the babies out in their baby slings. We walked up to Clifton Village, through Birdcage Walk with Medieval St Andrews Cemetery on either side of us, past the green where St Andrews Church used to be (destroyed during the Blitz of WWII) and on through the village. You feel like you've stepped back through time when you walk under the archway of lime trees.  I volunteered to work with a community gardening group when we first moved to Bristol.  I cut back some of the overgrown foliage that covered many of the graves at that point. It's nice to see the cemetery looking so well kept now.

We stopped and bought a nice cool drink and then sauntered back to my place, chatting about our
baby's and wot not. It was wonderful. Before Sam and I conceived Eve I dreamt about taking our baby for a walk in a sling in the sunshine. Now, it is finally upon me. I cannot help but grin from ear to ear whilst walking around with her like that - it's a real dream come true.

Eve and I have been up to the allotment almost every day this week. I'm so proud of her, she's done so well. She slept for quite a long time on a few occasions which allowed me to do a fair bit of digging - just what the allotment needs. The potatoes are going in this weekend hurrah!








Eve on the allotment - not looking that happy here, though she enjoyed seeing the tiny frogs in the pond and drinking milk in the sunshine.

Sorry, I don't mean to get on the Will n Kate bandwagon but I just have to post this photo of them taken in New Zealand this week. It is just so lovely, they all look so happy.
