What a day it has been today. Apart from the fact that it is the 1st of April it has also been very, very warm so we have been out in the garden most of the day. The first amazing thing was, as we were sitting by the pond having our morning coffee, a kingfisher flew over the pond. Two thoughts came into my head, the first being the fact that it is the most incredible coloured bird and a shame I could never take a photo of it because it is just too quick. The second was, oh dear, we have been so happy this week because we have baby goldfish swimming about. How long will they stay in the pond once the kingfisher visits us? The second thing was ........ I saw our first swallow so they should be appearing in the near future. As we were watching all this the cuckoo was cuckooing most of the day. How much better can you get than that and not a penny was spent - all free. Then of course there are all the flowers and shrubs coming out. Here are just a few..

We have had two super bits of news this week, firstly our beautiful twin girl grandchildren got a place in the school they wanted, so that is a relief all round. It is such a stressful time for parents with this school placement, when did it all change when children just went to their nearest school? The other piece of news was William telephoning us this morning to say that he had won an award at Beavers. One for being good and polite. How proud were his grandparents?????? Yes, very. Well done William, we love you all very much.
Well, my eyes are beginning to droop so I think I may stop now and take to my bed with a good book, another wonderful thing to do that doesn't cost a penny. Night night everyone.

I am so very envious of your early spring! Although, I did spot some tulips peeking up. It's been so dry this winter, it's a wonder anything survived. Keep the beautiful pics coming.
I'm envious too! I just might post a pic of weather here this last weekend!
That Lacemaker - I've never seen it before - how beautiful!
