Mothers Day

We've had a lovely day here. Cal got up and did breakfast for A, he was awake at six, excited and ready to make more cards for me. Tea and white toast in bed, i gave up both last year and it wasn't really a treat as i don't miss tea now, but the kids had fun getting it ready. Roses from cal, pink and yellow, and a lovely surprise.
We then took a picnic over to a farm park about half an hour away. it was cold but lovely. Baby chicks to hold and piglets, bunnies and lambs. How my ovaries ached! We had a great time. I am really spurred on to get hens now, and great grandad has been telling the kids lots of chicken related tales recently, so they are really excited too. We just need to find a reasonable but large coop.
We called in with cupcakes to nannies on the way home then had bangers and mash with cauliflower cheese and veg for tea, a slice of delicious herman friendship cake, and orange henries!
 Now that everyone is asleep, I'm indulging in a my weekly graze box, this time i have bbq pistachios, oriental cracker mix, chilli olives and a lemon cake with a fruity tea bag too for tomorrow. scrummy. I also have a flake, that's a real mothers day treat!!

        The tortoise also woke up to say hello briefly, Tasman and tahuna, the smaller one.
