Battle of Britain Memorial Flight

There are many reasons to why I love where my house is situated, but one of the best is that during Air Show season (which is May to October in the UK) that what is shown in the video below is a frequent occurrence! I'm not a plane spotter or an enthusiast, but there is something about the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight (Don't mention the War!) that invokes a lot of emotion in me.

This footage was taken in my front garden this afternoon and the plane that is seen is a Dakota. I only know this because Daddy is an enthusiast and told me what it was!

Mummy Giggles - Lazy Gardener

I think that the video explains itself...

Wordless Wednesday - Percy our Gnome

This is Percy.

Percy lives in our front garden. He arrived one day whilst Daddy was at work, I was out with Baby Boy and Top Ender was at school.

Top Ender doesn't know it, but he is going to go on holiday soon...

Wordless Wednesday - What happens when Daddy and Top Ender play in the Garden

So I twiddle it between my fingers?
Are you sure I am supposed to let go?

Can't I just sort of wave it around a bit?

Its all about Balance Top Ender

See on one finger!

And you gently toss it in the air...

Watching out for low flying birds of course

And catch it again!

Top Ender Giggles - Trying to prove a point?!

After having spent all weekend dealing with the Front Garden, Top Ender went for a walk round it this morning.

"MUM!"
"What Top Ender?"
"Someone has stolen the weeds from our Garden!"

Top Ender in the Summer

Top Ender and I were talking on the way to school this morning about a water fight we had last year. It was only a few days before Baby Boy was born, and gloriously hot.

Top Ender and I sat in the Garden in swimming costumes and hats and slathered ourselves in sunscreen dipping our feet in the paddling pool in an attempt to keep cool.

This image is one I keep of that day in my Minds eye and I wanted to share it with you too.
