It's all gone a bit crazy here. We have returned to a house which had previously felt quite roomy and now all of a sudden feels like a tiny wee hobbit house and which has a million sharp edges and shiny, sparkly 'objets dangereux' which are seemingly extremely interesting to an almost 11 month old. I hadn't realised how easy everything was in a large, open-plan spacious and relatively sparse apartment....Until we returned home!
Until about half an hour ago I hadn't even ventured into the garden. Due mainly to the constant rain and necessary unpacking and monitoring of small crawling child. It's nice to have five minutes this morning to have a little walk on this beautiful wintery day...
The large cherry tree in the middle of the garden has new buds coming through already, I love to see the blossom in the spring which covers the garden in white 'confetti' petals.
It's funny to see how bare the trees are now. Especially the plum tree which looks positively skeletal after the abundant crop of plums we had this year - too many to pick, so much so that several branches broke off due to the weight of all of the tiny red plums! Plum jam anyone???!
Time to get festive and cut some ivy and holly to decorate the house and I think the potted Christmas tree which has been waiting patiently outside in the rain should be brought inside for some adornment of baubles, ribbons and fairy lights. Hhmmm.....Something else for little hands to grab and pull.......
