Glorious Day!

Although I am not fully fit to enjoy it, today in my opinion was the most beautiful day of the year. From early in the morning the sun was in full blaze, joined in the sky by only light blue and an array of light puffy clouds. It was sensational to have the sun beating on my feet, and making me feel warm, it was perhaps a kick up the hide to say "SPRING IS HERE"

Morning Glory, the garden at about 11am.
It's so exciting when the seasons change. Spring is very special to us all. The fruit trees begin to blossom and to see the baby lambs in the fields is one of most joyous things ever! For me at FF it means that the hens will be coming into full lay again, we've had about 12eggs in the last 7days! It's amazing how they are laying 10 more eggs a week now than only a two weeks ago! It's made me really thrilled. It's also given me a reminder that I need to start planting my tomatos, beans and cucumber plants into little pots. I'm already sorted for strawberries, to my amazement they survived the whole winter, in January I trimmed them back and ridded of the dead leaves to find at least 15 plants. I only bought 3 plants originally last year, so that is value for money! 15 plants - £2.70!
I will try to remember to take a picture of the strawberry plants tomorrow, but today you shall have to make do with a picture of our miniature daffodils! It's not very good because I still can't bend down but it shows spring is in our back garden.

Enough of spring now. Today I'm also talking charity. My WALKEARS arrived today, they are a product designed by walkers in which they are giving away for absolutely free. However the best bit is, for every 1,000,000 ears given away £1,000,000 is going to be given to Comic Relief. Make sure you get yours now. If you are still not convinced why to get some here are a few pictures of my family showing them off! Enjoy!

In recent weeks I've also been saving my pennies up for a charity I am very closely associated with. So hopefully I'll be handing them a super cheque very soon.

Well, it's Liverpool vs Barcelona in 45 minutes and Mum is trying to rush me out of the door. I am getting a lift to Grandmas on there way to Redditch.
Chat soon and thanks for visiting,
