It's been soooo cold - I can't ever seem to get warm. By the time I get home from work, it never seems worth lighting the fire - anyway, I leave the house when it's dark and get back when it's dark - so taking out the ashes during the week is horrid...traipsing through the garden.. so I put on three jumpers and get into a hot bath and go to bed pretty early, to read, crochet -stay warm!! However, I was encouraged to see my little grape hyacinths beginning to shoot - I just hope they'll survive - perhaps I should stick them in the shed? I love these flowers so much - simple, a wonderful blue and look so pretty with all the other spring flowers!
The big tidy up at the weekend included putting the doll's house up in the attic. The girls had each had one, and Miss 18 yr old gave hers away in the summer. I didn't want both to go - they were given by grandparents and it's the sort of toy that another generation will happily play with - so this one, along with dolls and furniture disappeared into the highest reaches of the house. It was sad - another era over where my children no longer want to play with toys - but an ineveitable consequence of growing up.
