This weekend has been really nice, and in a way, quite typical. Saturday morning is always ballet time for Vera while I enjoy a cappuccino next door and reading my book or catching up with friends on the phone.
Mark had made a lovely spicy carrot and lentil soup so after lunch we headed right across Sheffield to Aston Springs Farm. We went for a farm trail walk and despite one shower of rain, we had lots of sunshine and met and fed a whole host of animals, including sheep, cows, goats, chinchillas, alpaccas, geese, chickens, you name it!
Once home, we enjoyed some down time with a movie and some TV.
Today we went for a walk to the nearby Ecclessall woods, which is full of gorgeous spring bloom. Vera played in the streams and we enjoyed hearing all the birds singimg.
Then after lunch, it's been another birthday party, this time in a play barn, so good to run off some steam before the sugar loading of cakes and sweets.
In other news, we're pleased that Vera got into our local school, Dobcroft. We're pleased as it is a really good school, but more so as it is local. Two more children from the nursery will go there, so at least there will be some familiar faces.
Mark's been busy with lots of house stuff, our new wood burner and gardening in addition to work, but on Thursday, on a gloriously sunny spring evening, we met up at the Stag's Head for some food and a play in the playground. Got to make the most of it when you can!
