My Week in Pictures

You can most definately say there is more action than conversation going on around here! Emily, Harrison and I have had a super busy week...

A trip to W5, a local science park which is just fantastic for kids of all ages. There is a floor for under 6's which is where we spent our time, playing with water, shopping in the mini play Tesco's, building houses with cranes and foam bricks, building bridges and generally have lots of fun...

The view of Belfast harbour from one of the windows. This sky just sums up the crazy topsy turvy weather we have been having lately...

Harrison is not a great sleeper and after trying to get him to have a morning nap to no avail, I packed a bag with a picnic in the hope that the car journey would send him to sleep. When I went back into the living room I found him asleep on the rug! Grrr....

Last minute decision to go strawberry picking on a local organic farm. Here are Emily & Tristan. This turned out not as successful as anticipated. Firstly there were no strawberries!! So we decided to hunt for other berries but then discovered the knee high nettles everywhere!! Emily and I had shorts on and I had sandals on so needless to say there were lots of stinging and crying...

We did however manage to pick a few (about 20!) raspberries, a punnet of blackcurrants and some lovely peas. I had no idea what I was going to do with the blackcurrants but I felt like I needed something to show for our efforts! Here is Tina with Emily too...

Harrison taking it all in - the little mischief...

After all that, finally a much needed cuppa...phew...

Just decided what to do with all those blackcurrants.... :)

You can pick our peas next week! the romance of picking and shelling peas sat on the patio wears off when you keep finding yourself sitting in the rain! Very cute pic of Harrison waving for the camera!
