April - came in quickly and quietly. Kind of crept up on me. I feel I've been sleeping a little this Spring. Spending far too much time sitting at my desk and not out there seeing the change of season in all it's glory. Before I know it the blossom will have finished and the trees will be in full leaf... and I'd have missed this special time of year. I need to get out more!
Right now, we are thankfully having the school Easter Holidays. It's silly. I feel somewhat panicking that the are days tripping by so quickly, I feel I haven't achieved all that I wanted... so much to do with my boys, these days are so precious.
Here are some things on our Easter break list...
* Gather wild garlic, make pesto &
focaccia. Eat nettle soup. Make tender dandelion leaf omelette... mmmm
* Go see the drifts of
bluebells. This is a must! To walk in dappled woodlands, among these wonderful British wildflowers is truly the best thing about Spring. I adore them.
* Make Easter decorations. I quite fancy
these. But I know the boys will want to do
these.
* Visit the Jurassic coast. Off on a fossil hunt.
* Charlie is at
Forest School this week... so just Ru and I shall be hanging together. Bike riding and allotmenting.
* Sowing seeds. We still need to sow some pumpkins, squashes, cucumbers & sweet peas!
* Making bread for the #52loavesproject
* Eating a feast on Easter Sunday - an egg hunt, and plenty of chocolate!
* Hanging with good friends... spending quality time. No rushing, just being.
So if you are on Easter Break - or just wishing to slow down and enjoy the season - have a lovely one...
