Spring has certainly arrived here... We have spent most days taking a walk to the churchyard to see new signs of Spring. There are hundreds of snowdrops in bloom at the moment, along with crocuses and the odd daff... The hedgehog hasn't come back yet, but we're still putting food out in the hope that he'll make an appearance again.We made some fat balls for the blue tits this week using vegetable suet and bird seed, but they turned their beaks up at it. Clearly not vegetarians...
Ella's bike has also made an apppearance again this week. It's one of those without pedals (one of my madcap philosophies) so she's been walking around the garden with it... The idea is that she'll be able to scoot around on it and develop a better sense of balance than if she had a small bike with stabilisers. Probably she'll just keep walking around the garden with it between her legs for years....
Last week we had a relatively quiet one - we went to the library on Tuesday then into Rugby for groceries on Thursday. Eddie came over on Friday afternoon for a play.This week is half term so no Home Ed group. We're going to Draycote Water on Wednesday to make a bird box (it's National Nest Box week).
As you can see from the photo, Tom is in good form. He really is a cheerful little chap, even when his sore gums are driving him crazy. Ella still says to everyone who will listen "This is my baby brother, Tom. His face looks like an egg".
Another good week for Welsh Rugby - but as Ella and Tom are both "Wenglish" I'm not going to make any further comment ! Actually, in addition to Ella's cockney and Bolton accents, she now has a fine Welsh accent developing. We borrowed Ivor The Engine from the library, so we've shown her a few old episodes on You Tube. Classic...

Hello Ella & Tom,
Nana & Bampa have just got back from our holiday, on a ship! We had a fabulous time and saw lots of caribbean Islands (and even more water!!).
We got off the ship at all the Islands we visited and toured them all. We were able to see lots of sights and how the local children lived and played.
Nana had a great birthday on board ship, with birthday cake, champagne and lots of people singing 'Happy Birthday' to her.
You both seem to have been doing lots while we've been away!!
While we were on the Island of Greneda we saw this monkey, who thinks he may be related to Ella's monkey. He asked if we would take a picture and send it to you both.
We'll come and see you both soon.
Lots of love Nana & Bampa
