iver this most beautiful lemon tree for our wedding anniversary. It is something I have wanted for a long time but never had the nerve to get one because we do get heavy frosts here, so it's knowing when to bring it in etc. To make the gift more special was the fact that we really don't know these new friends very well, only for a couple of weeks in fact, so a truly wonderful thought. You should be able to see that one of the lemons is ready to pick, so when our two girls come to visit on Friday, we will be able to go and pick our very own lemon to go with our gin and tonic, how cool is that?The ducks are still on their "new" pond and we go over to feed them. The little tinkers come so close sometimes, but I just make a move and they are off, so do I just give up now? It would save a lot of heartache. You can be sure that if we get any more, their wings will be clipped and we will get them as ducklings. Life is just one big learning curve isn't it?
Richard and I are very busy getting The Den ready for the girls visit. Almost there, and I know it doesn't matter if it's not all finished, but I do so want it to be nice for them. Our eldest daughter hasn't seen the house since we bought it, so hopefully she should see a bit of a difference. We are now keeping our fingers crossed for the weather to be kind to us, if only for the weekend. Talk again soon.

Have to say I'd just leave the ducks, especially after todays pond incident!!!!
see you friday
xx
I know your girls are like mine, an air mattress in the living room would do just as well as a guestroom. Remember, they are coming to see you, doesn't matter where they sleep.
Okay, I'm missing something, what pond incident? You didn't fall in, oh no!!!
Oh Hazel! Sometimes the learning curve takes a major dip now and then doesn't it?
Perhaps some new ducks. I bet they would entice the old ducks back over again! Not a bad idea huh?
It was -40C last night and colder with the windchill. You're in a little piece of heaven over there!
